Signs and symptoms of HIV / AIDS

Early signs and symptoms of HIV / AIDS
Some people live signs and symptoms of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus), once they are infected, others do not. The signs and symptoms are often mistaken for flu or a mild viral infection. The person seems to recover, usually between one week to one month later. Signs and symptoms include;
# Fever

# Headaches

Fatigue #

Nausea #

# Diarrhea

# Lymph nodes (neck, armpits and groin).

As you can see, the signs and symptoms are similar to many different viral infections and diseases. The only way to know if you are infected with HIV is being tested. Many people infected with HIV have no signs and symptoms for many years.

Later Signs and symptoms of HIV / AIDS
The Center for Disease Control (CDC), gives the following signs and symptoms that may be early signs of infection by HIV. They are:

# Quick Weight Loss

# Dry Cough

# Relapsing fever or night sweats abundant

Profound and unexplained fatigue #

# Swollen lymph nodes in the armpits, groin or neck

# Diarrhea that lasts more than a week

# White or unusual spots on the tongue, mouth, or throat

pneumonia #

# Spots red, brown, pink, purple or on or under the skin or inside the mouth, nose or eyelids

# memory loss, depression and other neurological disorders

HIV destroys white blood cells that are needed to fight infection. As the number of white blood drops to dangerous levels of infection and disease appear. At this point someone would have AIDS, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

As with HIV, you can not rely on these signs and symptoms to establish that a person has AIDS. The symptoms of AIDS are similar to symptoms of many other illnesses and diseases. AIDS is a medical diagnosis made by a doctor based on specific criteria established by CDC.
