The usual time from exposure to onset of symptoms is 2 to 4 weeks, although, in some cases, it can be as long as 10 months. A constellation of symptoms, known as an acute retroviral syndrome, may appear acutely. Although none of these symptoms are specific to HIV, their presence of increased severity and duration is an indication of poor prognosis. These symptoms, in the order of decreasing frequency, are listed below: Fatigue Muscle pain Skin rash Headache Sore throat Swollen lymph nodes Joint pain Night sweats Diarrhea Interesting article on HIV and Symptoms, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NB... HIV is the name given to the virus that attacks the immune system. It then weakens it, making it more difficult to fight infections and diseases. Once this happens, the CD4 count - (which is a measure of a specific type of white blood cell) decreases. When someone is first infected with HIV, they may experience a short illness for about a week or two, very much like the flu in the two to six weeks after first being infected. Once those symptoms resolve, there may be no noticeable symptoms whatsoever for years. However, the virus will be causing internal damage to the immune system. This is worrying as it means that you won’t know if you have HIV, unless you get a test. This also means that people could pass HIV onto others whilst having no idea that they have it. AIDs is not the same thing as HIV. AIDS is acquired immune deficiency syndrome and is the term used to describe the various potentially life-threatening infections and illnesses that occur once the HIV virus has severely damaged the immune system. If you're wondering what the difference between HIV and AIDS is, HIV is a virus that attacks the immune system by taking control of cells once it is inside a host and AIDS describes what happens once HIV has caused severe damage to the immune system.
