early symptoms of HIV?

Question

how long do the early symptoms of HIV last? Like fever,flu,how long do they last for a normal person?( with HIV)

Answer 1

Most people newly infected with the HIV virus show few, if any, symptoms for a few years. But during this asymptomatic period, HIV is actively multiplying, infecting, and killing cells in the immune system, particularly CD4+ T cells. People are very infectious during this early phase.

As the immune system weakens, symptoms begin to emerge.

Early Symptoms Of HIV Infection
Some people, but not all, develop symptoms within a month or two of exposure to HIV. These people may have a flu-like illness with such symptoms as:

Fever

Rash

Headache

Loss of appetite

Swollen glands (enlarged lymph nodes)

Achy muscles and joints
These early symptoms usually disappear within a week to a month. Most HIV-infected people who experience these early symptoms won't see any more signs of the infection for at least a few years.

Answer 2

The early symptoms of HIV are very similar to the early symptoms of any viral infection, including fever, tiredness, diahrea, etc. Not all infected people get the symptoms, only about 50% of HIV-infected people recall having these "flu-like" symptoms even when they know exactly who infected them and when.

Answer 3

Some people recently infected with HIV will experience some "flu-like" symptoms. These might include:

Fever
Severe Fatigue
A non-itchy rash
Swollen glands/lymph nodes
Muscle aches
Sore throat
Night sweats
Sores or ulcers in your mouth
