Early on, AIDS is a very hard syndrome to detect. But when the signs do start revealing themselves it's quite obvious. Here are some of the symptoms that AIDS sufferers have or may begin to have: * Flu-like symptoms * A cold that just won't go away * Loss of energy * Loss of apetite * Purple patching of the skin * Soreness of the body * Growth of sores in the throat * Dramatic loss of weight If you are worried that you may have AIDS, contact your doctor IMMEDIATELY.
* Rapid, unexplained, weight loss * Dry cough * Recurring fever or profuse night sweats * Profound and unexplained fatigue * Swollen lymph glands in the armpits, groin or neck * Diarrhea that lasts more than a week * White spots or unusual blemishes * Swollen lymph glands in the armpits, groin or neck * Memory loss, depression and other neurological disorders * Red, brown, pink or purplish blotches on or under the skin.
The way to know for SURE is to GET TESTED. There should be places in your city that you can go to have an HIV test confidentially. I believe, if one would get in touch with the Aids Coalition there, they would be able to let the one calling know exactly where they can go. And one can call information (411) for the phone number.
It is hard to know if you have aids or not. Most cases of aids are undectated until 5 years later. By then, it may be too late to get help.
Doctors can perform a blood test to make this diagnosis.
You will have to be tested to determine if you are infected with HIV.
To date, we know of two types of HIV, known as HIV-1 and HIV-2.
The reason why the doctor needs to know the difference between AIDS and HIV is because HIV is the cause for AIDS.
First you would have to have a test to assure that you ere infected with HIV, then after some time HIV converts to AIDS
AIDS is what you get when you have the HIV virus, its the next stage of the virus and that will kill you so once you get AIDS that's it, there is no cure and no treatment for AIDS. There is treatment for HIV and Magic Johnson is the first person that i have ever heard of that announced that he had the HIV virus 15 years ago and never got AIDS but he took these drugs and it stopped him from getting AIDS but he will always have the HIV virus.
HIV+ but I don't see how that can happen...
