hiv symtoms?

Question

can anyone tell me how to know the hiv symtoms?after how long it will active?

Answer 1

The incubation period—the time between when a person is first infected with HIV and when early symptoms develop—may be a few days to several weeks. The early symptoms usually disappear on their own within 2 to 3 weeks.

Symptoms

HIV infection progresses in stages. These stages are based on your symptoms and the amount of the virus in your blood.

Initial stage

The incubation period—the time between when a person is first infected with HIV and when early symptoms develop—may be a few days to several weeks. Flu-like symptoms are common in this first stage of infection, which is called acute retroviral syndrome. Symptoms of acute retroviral syndrome are often mistaken for symptoms of another viral infection, such as influenza or mononucleosis, and may include:

Abdominal cramps, nausea, or vomiting.
Diarrhea.
Enlarged lymph nodes in the neck, armpits, and groin.
Fever.
Headache.
Muscle aches and joint pain.
Skin rash.
Sore throat.
Weight loss.
These first symptoms can range from mild to severe and usually disappear on their own after 2 to 3 weeks.

Established stage

After you become infected with HIV, you may go many years without any other sign of illness. When symptoms come back, they may be vague and hard to describe (although some people complain of feeling fatigued or achy all over). A health professional may suspect HIV if symptoms persist or if a cause (such as influenza) of the symptoms cannot be identified. HIV may also be suspected when several of the following symptoms are present:

Confusion
Diarrhea or other bowel changes
Difficulty concentrating
Dry cough
Fatigue
Fever
Loss of appetite
Mouth sores
Nail changes
Night sweats
Swollen lymph nodes in the neck, armpits, and groin
Pain when swallowing
Personality changes
Repeated outbreaks of herpes simplex
Shortness of breath
Tingling, numbness, and weakness in the limbs
Unexplained weight loss
Yeast infection of the mouth (thrush)
Additionally, HIV may be suspected when a woman has at least one of the following:

More than 3 vaginal yeast infections in one year that are not related to the use of antibiotics
Recurrent pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
Abnormal Pap test or cervical cancer
Children with HIV often have different symptoms (for example, delayed growth or an enlarged spleen) than teens or adults.

Answer 2

the symptoms for HIV vary from person to person, as well as the amount of time that is needed to develo these symptoms.

Usually, the symptoms of HIV do not show up until 6 months after the infection, the virus has entered the body. THe symptoms are vary simular to that of the flu. Fever, nausea, fatigue, diarrhea, runny nose and vomiting. One distinct difference of these symptoms than that of the influenza is that, when HIV is involved, the symptoms usually are more persistent, the host of the virus feels sicker for a longer period of time.

Notice I said usually though, it is known by scientists that HIV can be carried in a humans body for up to 11 years with out the person ever getting sick. You may feel like you are in great health, but the virus is slowly running it's course. Usually in this circumstance, the person will develop AIDS without ever knowing that they were infected with HIV. A great example of this is the late rapper, Easy E. He died in 1995 from AIDS related illnesses and never known that he was infected, neither did his wife. Another example of this unique virus would be Magic Johnson. He had a severe cold that lasted for several weeks, and I believe as well a tissue sore in his mouth. When he described these conditions to his Dr. he was given a HIV antibody test, and he was then diagnosed with the virus that causes AIDS, HIV.

So the most valid information I can give you is that, usually symptoms dont appear until 6 months after infection, but this varies from person to person.

If you are suspecting that you you are at risk of HIV infection, consider the amount of time that has lapsed sine you may have been exposed to the virus. If you think it was yesterday, today is too early to tell, if it was 6 months ago, you may be at risk. Go to your local clinic and ask for a HIV antibody test. This can be taken from a blood sample, urine sample, even a saliva sample. The antibody test is designed to check for antibodies that your body has developed from having the HIV virus in your system, it only takes 2 weeks for your body to produce enough antibodies to where they can be detected. But for security reasons, you should have a follow up HIV test after 6 months. During this 6 month period, refrain from sexual activity, you may put someone else at risk.


I hope this is the kind of answer you were looking for, I am very knowledged in this area, so I shared a little information...

Answer 3

I got diagnosed with herpes (type 2) about 5 years ago, when I was still in college and had a mindless one-night stand. I realize loads of young ladies will say this, but I swear I had certainly not done that sort of thing before. I just made a massive mistake that one time and all of a sudden it seemed like I was going to have to live with the implications for my entire life. The hardest part was feeling I could never date men again. In the end, who wants to go out with a girl that has sores round her private parts? But since a friend shared this video https://tr.im/4IuAP everything improved.

Not only was I able to remove all traces of the herpes virus from my body in less than 3 weeks, but I was also able to begin dating again. I even met the guy of my dreams and I'm so lucky to write that just a week ago, in front of everyone in a packed cafe, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!! This system provided the opportunity to be happy and experience real love. Now I want to help you too by sharing this with the World.

Answer 4

HIV symptoms will take a long time after you get it it could take years but when you have unprotected sex or use unwash needles, the aids virus go to you body and it take time for the virus to destroy your white blood cell your white blood cell is your body defense from diseases and some viruses if the virus destroy all of your white blood cells your body won t have no defense to fight of germs, diseases and also viruses and you could die from a lack of protection it also prevent you to have blood clot meaning when you bleed your body help stop you from losing a lot of blood. You also will get symptoms like cold coughing and sneezing and it go away about two weeks. You could pass the disease to other people through body fluid meaning the blood have to get in the next person body. It best when you have unprotected sex or use unwash needles to see a doctor immediately

Answer 6

PAY ATTENTION THIS IS IMPORTANT!

Another answer gave a list of early symptoms.... IGNORE IT, not that she's wrong, but many people don't experience ANY symptoms. Many have a general malaise that is easily passed off as a bad day.

GET TESTED!!! A shockingly high percentage of HIV+ people don't know they are.

Answer 7

once infected, you can pass it on immediately. i said can, not will. current tests can detect the virus within a few weeks. symptoms include sluggishness, easily tired, inability to control bodily functions (later stages) and loss of weight and appetite. if you suspect infection, get tested now. if negative, test in three months, and again in six. then you'll know for sure! if you get infected, don't pass it on if you can avoid it! I've known some sufferers of it. it isn't pretty to watch them go from healthy active people to lumps of flesh unable to even get up from a bed.
