Most people with HIV infection never experience symptoms until having been infected for a long period of time. There are no reliable symptoms that can be used to identify HIV infection. Sometimes, patients may experience flu-like symptoms at the beginning of infection, but often these are dismissed or not experienced at all.

Initial symptoms will occur in 1 - 2 weeks. Many people mistake these symptoms for the flu.

When a person who is HIV+ and is "seroconverting" (viral load at its highest - 1st stage of HIV infection). HIV symptoms resemble that of "mono" or a really bad flu. This normally occurs 2-4 weeks after initial exposure. The person will eventually get better. The HIV virus then remains dormant for many years before any other symptoms present itself. A person starts producing HIV antibodies 4 weeks - 3 mos after exposure to virus. If you think you have been exposed, talk to a doctor and get tested.

What is the difference between latent infection and inapparent infection?

An inapparent infection occurs when a susceptible person is exposed to an agent, is consequently infected, but neverdevelops clinical symptoms (subclinical). An inapparent infection may result in immunity - but they may not develop immunity and could even become a carrier.In contrast, an exposed susceptible person may develop symptoms (clinical infection), but later enter a period where they no longer exhibit those symptoms. This person would be said to have a "latent infection". They have not recovered - they are still infected -- and they might start to exhibit clinical symptoms later.Exposed ---- Infected ------ no symptoms --------------------------------------> Resolution INAPPARENT INFECTIONExposed ---- Infected ----- symptoms ----no symptoms ---- symptoms ----> Resolution|< Latent Infection>|- Dominick A.

The incubation period (time until symptoms begin) can be from 14-25 days but is more typically 16-18 days
