I heard that early HIV symptoms are like a mild flu. So how would you know you had it?

I do not have it.. I am faithful and so is my man and I have been tested but some people may not think of that they may just think they have a flu was my point.....I was just asking a simple question....geez guys.

Though it's not been scientifcally reseached enough, a person exposed to HIV will usually develop a 2-3 day "conversion flu", symptoms seem similar to nausea, food poisoning or fever. It's when the viral load can achieve its highest hold in the body before the immune system has a chance to kick in,

I wouldn't worry about that, because I don't sleep around.
But if I did, I would get tested every few weeks.
It would just be less painful to stick with one partner.

hun its very simple
have an AIDS/HIV test ok

You would NOT know. You MUST get tested

The only way to find out if you have been exposed is to go get the HIV test.

you should definately get tested weekly/monthly...and please put your shirt down...no one needs to see that

The only way you can KNOW that you have HIV is to have the test.

When the flu doesn't go away.. When it is a constant weakening of the body.
