Signs And Symptoms Of HIV

You can find out from here if you are scared of doing a test

1)Fever

One of the first signs of ARS can be a mild fever, up to about 102 degrees F. The fever, if it occurs at all, is often accompanied by other usually mild symptoms, such as fatigue, swollen lymph glands, and a sore throat.

2)Fatigue

The inflammatory response generated by your besieged immune system also can cause you to feel tired and

lethargic. Fatigue can be both an early and later sign of HIV.

3)Achy muscles, joint pain, swollen lymph nodes.

4)Sore throat and headache.

5)Skin rash

Skin rashes can occur early or late in the course of HIV/

AIDS.

6)Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea.

7)Weight loss

Once called "AIDS wasting," weight loss is a sign of more advanced illness and could be due in part to severe diarrhea.

8)Dry cough.

9)Pneumonia.

10)Night sweats.

11)Nail changes:

Another sign of late HIV infection are nail changes, such as clubbing (thickening and curving of the nails), splitting of the nails, or discoloration (black or brown lines going either vertically or horizontally). Often this is due to a fungal infection, such as candida.

12)Yeast infections

Another fungal infection that's common in later stages is thrush, a mouth infection caused by Candida, a type of yeast.

13)Confusion or difficulty concentrating

Cognitive problems could be a sign of HIV-related dementia, which usually occurs late in the course of the

disease. In addition to confusion and difficulty concentrating, AIDS- related dementia might also involve memory problems and behavioral issues such as anger or irritability.

14)Cold sores or genital herpes

Cold sores (oral herpes) and genital herpes can be a sign of both ARS and late-stage HIV infection. And having herpes can also be a risk factor for contracting HIV. This is because genital herpes can cause ulcers that make it easier for HIV to enter the body during sex. And people who have HIV tend to have more severe herpes outbreaks more often because HIV weakens the immune system.

15)Tingling and weakness

Late HIV can also cause numbness and tingling in the hands and feet. This is called peripheral neuropathy, which also occurs in people with uncontrolled diabetes.

16)Menstrual irregularities.
