General
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a serious health condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Early detection and treatment are critical to managing the virus and preventing its progression into Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS).
However, recognizing the symptoms of HIV is the first step towards seeking timely medical care. According to “Cleveland Clinic”, Below are symptoms of HIV you should always pay attention to.
Fever and Fatigue
One of the earliest signs of HIV infection is flu-like symptoms, including fever, chills, and fatigue. These symptoms may appear within 2 to 4 weeks after exposure to the virus.
Swollen Lymph Nodes
HIV attacks the immune system, leading to an increase in the size of lymph nodes, particularly in the neck, armpits, and groin.
Skin Rashes
Skin rashes are a common symptom of HIV. They can vary in appearance, from mild redness to more severe eruptions.
Muscle and Joint Pain
Muscle and joint pain are often reported by individuals with HIV. This discomfort can be due to the body’s inflammatory response to the virus or the development of related conditions.
Night Sweats
Night sweats are another symptom associated with HIV. This kind of excessive sweating during sleep can disrupt rest and is often accompanied by fever and chills.
Weight Loss
Unexplained weight loss is a concerning symptom that may indicate HIV infection. As the virus progresses, it can lead to a loss of appetite and difficulty maintaining a healthy weight.
