Answer 1

Well here are the symptoms my mom had told me she is nurse and has a degree in this type of stuff.
Note that any symptoms of illness may occur, since infections can occur throughout the body. Special symptoms relating to HIV infection include:

Sore throat
Mouth sores, including candidal infection
Muscular stiffness or aching
Headache
Diarrhea
Swollen lymph glands
Fever
Fatigue
Rash of various types, including seborrheic dermatitis
Frequent vaginal yeast infections
what most symptoms people would find as the cold.

Answer 2

Symptoms related to acute HIV infection (when a person is first infected) are often flu-like:

Diarrhea
Fever
Headache
Mouth sores, including yeast infection (thrush)
Muscle stiffness or aching
Night sweats
Rashes of different types
Sore throat
Swollen lymph glands

Many people have no symptoms when they are diagnosed with HIV.
Acute HIV infection progresses over a few weeks to months to become an asymptomatic HIV infection (no symptoms). This stage can last 10 years or longer. During this period, the person can still spread the virus to others.

Almost all people infected with HIV, if they are not treated, will develop AIDS. A small group of patients develop AIDS very slowly or never at all. These patients are called nonprogressors. Many seem to have genes that prevent the virus from significantly damaging their immune system.

People with AIDS have had their immune system damaged by HIV. They are very susceptible to (easily get) infections that do not normally develop in people with a healthy immune system. These infections are called opportunistic infections.

Common symptoms are:
Chills
Fever
Rash
Sweats (particularly at night)
Swollen lymph glands
Weakness
Weight loss

Answer 3

OK.

If you are hoping to be able to tell if someone is HIV+, stop. There is no way to tell by looking at someone if they are HIV+.

If you are talking about yourself. There may be some signs and symptoms.

When a person is first infected (usually within 2-4 weeks) they MAY develop the symptoms that kinkihan mentioned above (there are others). About 40-90% of HIV+ people experience symptoms, however they are usually mild, go away on their own within a couple of weeks, and are often underdiagnosed by primary physicians.

Once that stage is past, there are basically NO symptoms for the next decade or so (on average). Once the immune system drops to a low level, a person will begin to develop intermittent whole-body symptoms (that some other answerers have mentioned) including:
unexplained fever (>2weeks), diarrhea (>month), severe night sweats, frequent cold/flus, unexplained weight loss, swollen lymph nodes (this symptom can be present on and off from the beginning of HIV infection), fatigue, chronic and hard to treat vaginal yeast infections (this can occur well before the other late-stage symptoms).
These symptoms are not experienced 24/7. Late stage HIV disease is like a rollercoaster ride (up and down) between well being and illness. Gradually, a person will become ill more of the time.
And when they acquire or develop (from a prior infection) one of the AIDS-defining illnesses (Opportunistic Infections) they would be classified as having AIDS.

Hope this helps

It's best HIV no longer hivaids. And move get confirmed. It's academic. And, even as you are looking ahead to your teast outcome (approximately 15 minutes) ask for schooling approximately all varieties of condoms. And, use wikipedia or another of the countless internet site committed to hiv schooling for well cast solutions alternatively of depending on Y!A!

Answer 5

Get TESTED. You can have HIV with NO 'symptoms' and be able to give it to others. The 'symptoms' can be different with different people ... but generally you get slowly weaker and feel 'sickly' before you develop full blown AIDS ... and if you even THINK you have had contact that gave you this horrid disease GET TESTED. Go to any doctor, or to your Public Health office and ask for a test for HIV/AIDS.

Answer 6

go to craigmedical.com and buy a test dont take chances with AIDS ok if you even think you have it why would you worry about having sex again? Dont you care about your life, this becomes everyones buisness when you may have it and like to sleep around this will effect our kids and grandkids because the aids virus is getting stronger and stronger cause the more you have sex when you have AIDS, it breaks your immune system down even more so and creates a stronger strain of AIDS.
it is also a crime to have sex with someone knowing you have it or suspect you have it if you pass it!
challenge your self any one can have sex graduate from college or something any one can just have to want to!
I volunteer with afan in las vegas in the memory of my best friend and my Uncle dying from this. so i know all to well about HIV!
if you already graduated from college then go take a walk through the AIDS ward in your county hospital!

Answer 7

There are no symptoms that could be listed for you to identify HIV/AIDS in another individual. If you are truly concerned, insist on the woman getting tested and always use protection!

Answer 8

you are NOT going to be able to see the signs of HIV in a person.....Full blown AIDS "YES"......HIV "NO" many times it can be dormant and the woman you say you want to sleep with may show no signs at all. Get tested, but you and her should go as a couple. If you demand her to be tested you should be tested with her., cause she could be worried you have AIDS

Answer 9

DO NOT go by symptoms - there may not be any for many years.

Either use protection or both of you get tested and then don't sleep with anyone else. That is the only way.

I'm sorry, but you are an idiot if you are using 'symptoms' to decide who you do or don't sleep with.

Answer 10

symptoms can be non-existant or similar to a common cold. if you suspect you might be infected you really should get tested. remember HIV is different from AIDS.
