If infected with hiv, when do stuff like Molluscum contagiosum start showing up?

it has been 6 weeks. This is for my friend, paranoid that hospital staff in south london injected her with hiv.
would symptoms start showing in 6 weeks ???

please answer this is a real question and she is very very worried, still worried.

Thank you

Things like molluscum would not start to show up in 6 weeks. Most people who contract HIV don't even know it for months or years. Molluscum starts to show up once the infected person's immune system has been seriously affected-- it would take longer than 6 weeks.
If your friend thinks she was infected, the best way to find out would be to get tested for HIV. It doesn't always show up by the first time you get tested. BUT most people don't contract HIV while in a hospital-- that would be very rare. Most people get HIV from sexual contact or sharing dirty needles for IV drug use.

Hope this helps--try to find reputible websites for even more info.

In order for you to show symptoms for molluscum and the various staph infections that could arise arise there would have to pass YEARS of neglect and have at least a CD4 cell count of less than 200. If your friend was infected weeks ago, the body is still making antibodies for HIV. Depending on how your organism reacts towards HIV and because what is tested is the antibodies she might or might not come back positive, Therefore she needs to do the HIV test as soon as possible to take measures.

You need not to worry. If detected early enough HIV is not a problem. It becomes a problem when people dont acknowledge it, and enter denial, years go by and the immune system is destroyed by the virus. Please have in mind that the virus could remain dormant in your system for some time and that the vast majority of HIV infected people show no symptoms.

It is highly unlikely that HIV will start presenting symptoms within 6 weeks. The time that it takes for the virus to begin presenting all depends on what strain of the virus she has/may have and the strenght of her immune system. It is also highly unlikely that a hospital staff would inject her with the virus. If they did and it could be proven, they would stand to have a huge law suit filed against them. There is a simple blood test to determine one's HIV status.

i think its too early
