“In the early stages of HIV infection is usually just there are no symptoms, so if we enter into risk groups better check yourself,” said Michael Horberg, director of HIV / AIDS for Kaiser Permanente in Oakland, California.

Here are the symptoms that are often experienced by people infected with HIV-positive.

Fever

ARS is one of the symptoms of mild fever with body temperature reaching 38 degrees Celsius. Symptoms of fever is often accompanied by mild symptoms such as fatigue, sore throat, and swollen lymph nodes.

“In this phase the virus moves into the bloodstream and begin to replicate in large quantities. Because it happens inflammatory reaction by the body’s immune system,” said Carlos Malvestutto, infectious diseases and immunology instructor from New York School of Medicine.

Fatigue

Inflammatory response in the body can also lead to feeling tired and drained of energy. These symptoms can occur at the beginning or several years later.

Muscle pain

ARS symptoms are often diagnosed as viral infection, influenza, mononucleosis, hepatitis and syphilis even. This is not surprising because many of the symptoms are similar, including pain in muscles and joints.

Swollen lymph nodes are also commonly occur because kelejar is part of the immune system will become inflamed when an infection occurs. Lymph nodes numerous in the armpits, groin, neck as well.

Skin rash

A rash of reddish spots on the skin can occur early or late stage of HIV / AIDS. When the appearance of the rash can not be explained and you include people who are at high risk of contracting HIV, immediately do the test.

Nausea, vomiting and diarrhea

According Dr.Malvestutto, about 30-60 percent of people experience brief symptoms of nausea, vomiting or diarrhea, early in HIV infection. But these symptoms can also arise due to antiretroviral therapy and advanced stage of infection.

Weight loss

Weight loss is a sign of worsening disease and also because of severe diarrhea. “If it happens this mean weight loss was exhausted immune system. But thanks to antiretroviral therapy these symptoms are rare,” said Malvestutto.

A person who has AIDS wasting syndrome typically lose 10 percent or more of their body weight, and suffered from diarrhea or fatigue and fever of more than 30 days.
