There is no particular way you feel when you have HIV.

Most people will be able to live quite normally for many years without feeling any differently.

While the above can be said - I think it's very important to add that HIV can be symptomatic in variety just as the people it invades

Some people get flu-like symptoms a month or two after they have been infected. These symptoms often go away within a week to a month. A person can have HIV for many years before feeling ill.

As the disease progresses, both women and men may experience yeast infections on the tongue (thrush), and women may develop severe vaginal yeast infections or pelvic inflammatory disease.

Signs that HIV is turning into AIDS include:

  • A fever that won't go away.
  • Sweating while you sleep.
  • Feeling tired all the time (not from stress or lack of sleep).
  • Feeling sick all the time.
  • Losing weight.
  • Swollen glands. (neck, groin, or underarms).

How does aids enter the body?

You can NOT feel HIV or AIDS in the body. A person can look and feel perfectly healthy for years and you won't be able to tell if that person has HIV or AIDS. If you have been sexually active or shared needles from doing drugs, you may want to get an HIV test done. It's best to get tested to start treatment so that the virus doesn't form into AIDS.

You had unsafe sex more than 10 years ago. You feel most of the HIV symptoms now but your HIV antibody test is negative. If you are in the late stages of the disease should you try a PCT test?

Relax. You're worrying too much. If your HIV antibody test is negative, then you DON'T have the HIV virus. Luckily the unsafe sex you had ten years ago was with someone who was HIV negative, same as you. When you say you feel most of the HIV symptoms now, that's what happens when you read too much on the internet. There are no real 'symptoms' for HIV. If the HIV virus multiplies enough in your blood, and your 'viral load' becomes large, then it interferes with the immune system in your body. The immune system helps your body fight off infections. If this is weak, then people can more easily catch diseases like pneumonia, which can usually be easily cured with antibiotics. See Related Links below.
