The first symptoms of HIV infection often include moderate and unexplained weight loss, recurrent respiratory tract infections (such as sinusitis, bronchitis, otitis media, pharyngitis), herpes zoster and recurrent oral ulcerations.
With the progression of the illness, other symptoms may start to present. These include unexplained chronic diarrhoea and persistent fever (for longer than one month), severe weight loss (>10% of presumed or measured body weight), oral hairy leukoplakia and candidiasis and severe bacterial infections including pulmonary tuberculosis. It is during this period that the CD4+ T cells count starts to fall below 500 cells per µL.

Signs for hives:
1 small red spots on the body
2 the spots are itchy
3. They respond by stopping itching on short order to swabbing with rubbing alcohol.
4. They respond by stopping itching on a longer term with antihistamines.

Acute Infection: Early symptoms of HIV, (one to four weeks) can mimic that of mononucleosis-like symptoms. Symptoms include, swelling of the lymph nodes, headache, fever, loss of appetite, sweating, and sore throat. Often times this can be mistaken as having the flu or another viral-type infection. Some people may develop skin rashes on the chest, abdomen and/or back.
