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.

Late stage
During the last stage of HIV infection, the disease progresses to AIDS. Some of the symptoms of AIDS include fatigue, weight loss, diarrhea, fever, night sweats, and thrush (infection in the mouth). During this time, it also becomes easier for you to develop certain infections or illnesses, such as some types of pneumonia or cancer, which are more likely to develop when you have a weakened immune system.

If HIV goes untreated, AIDS develops in most people within 12 to 13 years after they first become infected. With treatment for HIV, the progression to AIDS may be delayed or prevented.

A small number of people who are infected with HIV develop AIDS within about 3 years if they do not receive treatment. It is not known why the infection progresses faster in these people

Okay, okay, okay first you need to rest. If you think negatively, you will feel negatively. I am also going through an HIV scare, and am tested on Thursday. I have had a fever for about a week now, and that's my only symptom. However, for you, normally it takes YEARS to feel the symptoms of HIV. Normally 8-10 years after the time you had sex (or shared needles). I'm asuming that how you feel now, with the tingleing feet, has nothing to do with HIV. Honestly, you're probably over thinking it all. I've been freaking out too, but people have told me that stressing my mind will only stress the body. My guess, even though I'm no doctor, would be that you are just nervous. Tingleing feet IS a sign of HIV, BUT it's only been 3 weeks. Get tested now, again in 3 months, and once again another 3 months after that. And from now on, use a condom, even with "slight touches". It's so not worth getting HIV. It's possible to get it through precum, yes. But just relax, there's so much that it could be- and only time can do it's thing. Good Luck!

My reply is long, but bear with me. I tried to simplify things as best I could for you.

HIV is a virus found in the blood. It slowly kills the cells of our immune system. Those cells help fight off infection from fungus, bacteria, other viruses, and even the occasional cell of ours that could become cancerous.

A person can have HIV but have no signs because some of the good immune system cells have not been hurt by the virus yet.

When you start to see bruises form on people's skin, they have AIDS (the disease caused by the HIV virus when the virus has been in the body for a long time killing off the good cells). Most of the good cells are dead. Those bruises are actually a rare form of cancer that people with really bad immune systems (like people with AIDS) get. The person is also suffering from a lot of other problems by the time those bruises show.

*** I want to stress that these cancers that look like bruises are mainly seen in AIDS patients. Of course, as with any mark, if you aren't sure what it is, go see your doctor.

On the flip side, if you see a purple mark suddenly show up on your partner's penis, it doesn't necessarily mean he has AIDS. He could just have been hit really hard in the crotch. (OUCH!)

So, how can you get HIV from sex? HIV is usually found in the blood attacking those good immune cells, but sometimes the virus can make its way into other fluids such as semen and vaginal secretions. That's why it is important to practice safe sex.

Summary: The bruise-like marks do not show up on a person's skin until they've had HIV for a really long time and the HIV virus has killed off all the good immune system cells. The bruise-like marks, if and when they do show, may not even be on the penis itself. However, it doesn't matter how long the person has had a virus - they can still infect you.

Hope that helps.

bruises has nothing to do with hiv! if you are having unprotected sex with someone who is hiv positive you can contact it and not know for years unless tested! if you think you may have been with someone who has it you better get to a dr. and get tested so as not to spread it to someone else! always use precautions! dont rely on a bruise!!

Seriously??!

HIV's not like a blood test. It's a disease! You don't get bruises when you've got diahorrea and vomiting!

HIV is spread most often through unprotected sex with an infected partner. The virus can enter the body through the lining of the vagina, vulva, penis, rectum, or mouth during sex

What does him having HIV have to do with him having a bruise?

HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. Being HIV positive simply means the guy has the virus, but doesn't necessarily mean he has AIDS yet, meaning him not showing any outward symptoms.
