Early Symptoms Of HIV
June 16, 2008
Many people do not develop any symptoms when they first become infected with HIV. Some people, however, get a flu-like illness within three to six weeks after exposure to the virus.
The illness, called Acute HIV Syndrome, may include fever, headache, tiredness, nausea, and diarrhea and enlarged lymph nodes (organs of the immune system that can be felt in the neck, armpits and groin). Some people develop symptoms within a month or two of exposure to HIV. These people have a flu-like illness with the following symptoms; these symptoms usually disappear within a week to a month and are often mistaken for another viral infection. However, early symptoms of HIV include –
1. Fever
2. Rash
3. Headache
4. Loss of appetite
5. Swollen glands
6. Achy muscles
Such symptoms usually disappear after a week or so. People who experience these early symptoms don’t experience any other signs of infection for a few years. Even during the asymptomatic period, the virus is actively multiplying, infecting, and killing cells of the immune system.
The virus can also hide within infected cells and lie dormant. The most obvious effect of HIV infection is a decline in the number of CD4+ T-cells found in the blood — the immune system’s key infection fighters. The virus slowly disables or destroys these cells, often without causing early symptoms of HIV.
