HIV
AIDS
SYMPTOMS
HIV is the acronym of Human Immunodeficiency Virus which is
a kind of infection that is classified in three different
stages: Acute Infection, Chronic Infection and AIDS which
means Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.
Severe HIV infection is the primary and the shortest stage
of HIV Infection, wherein it is not necessary that every one
gets the symtoms. In some typical cases, the infected
people complaint of flu-like illness even after three to six
weeks of acquiring the infections. These symptoms are almost
similar to that of the flu or mononucleosis which means
fever and weakness that lasts for a week or two, and
simultaneously there may or even may not be any other
symtoms that include:
• Some blemished red rashes, normally on the torso which
does not irritate
• Headaches
• Painful muscles
• Tender throat
• Inflamed lymph glands in the neck, armpits or the groin
areas
• Diarrhoea, Nausea or Revulsion and Vomiting
It has been found that some of the symptoms usually
disappear within a week or a month and are generally
mistaken for another viral infection. But during that
period, the quantity of those viruses in the body shall
greatly multiply and spreads to different parts of the body
especially the lymphoid tissues. At that stage, the affected
person is more likely to pass on his infection to others.
Then the viral quantity drops as the immune system of the
body launches the organized fight. More severe symtoms may
not exhibit for several years or a decade or even more after
the HIV initially enters the body in adults or within 2
years in children born with these viruses.
