HIV Positive Symptoms?


What are the symptoms of a person who is HIV positive?

About three weeks after exposure there could be some presistent cold, night sweats, east infection that wouldnt go away, slight but consistent fever, swolen glands especially those on the neck, long term diarea, fatigue, weight loss, loss of apetite.

After this is gone, there might be nothing for years and usually people stay healthy for a few years after becoming hiv poz. The few weeks after exposure simptoms show because that is when the viral load of the hiv virus in the blood is the highest.

However, don't be mistaken that it will show on a test then.

The Elisa test that tests HIV antibodies present in the blood cant detect them for about 4 weeks the least and 6 months the most. It takes some time until antibodies are formed thus there is a need for a 6 months window from exposure to taking the test in order for the results to be conclusive.

I hope this helps!

Best of luck to ya!

I also would like to know but some are clear that is loosing weight and becoming too weak.
