Some common symptoms are fever, swollen glands, sore throat, rash, muscle and joint aches as well as fatigue and headaches.
== == == == I know that tests are more accuarate if you wait 6 months from the time you think that you contracted. At least that's what I was told a few years ago by my doc. As far as what the EARLIEST you can get the symptoms? I dont specifically know that one.....sorry
common means of transmission of hiv virus are, sexual intercourse, mother 2 baby,blood transfusion .
STAGES OF HIV Acute HIV Syndrome * First stage seroconversion * virus rapidly spreads to organs, especially the lymphoid tissues * HIV virus not very aggressive in causing diseases or severe symptoms Asymptomatic State * infection is latent * virus starts to grow and multiply in the lymph nodes Symptomatic Disease/AIDS * Viremia (spread of virus in the blood) * Loss of immune system, mainly due to infection of CD4+ T-Lymphocytes End stage Disease * immune system collapses * virus continues to slowly destroy the Immune System for up to 10 years * usually an opportunistic infection is the cause of death Without treatment, the average time from infection to AIDS is eight to eleven years.Without treatment, 78/100 percent of Hiv-infected people will develop AIDS within fifteen years of infection.
No! Having sex with someone on stage does not create a room for the media 2 say all kinds of things.
The symptoms of AIDS are primarily the result of infections that do not normally develop in individuals with healthy immune systems. These are called opportunistic infections.People with AIDS have had their immune system depleted by HIV and are very susceptible to these opportunistic infections. Common symptoms are fevers, sweats (particularly at night), swollen lymph glands, chills, weakness, and weight loss.See the signs and tests section below for a list of common opportunistic infections and major symptoms associated with them.Note: Initial infection with HIV may produce no symptoms. Some people, however, do experience flu-like symptoms with fever, rash, sore throat, and swollen lymph nodes, usually 2 weeks after contracting the virus. Some people with HIV infection remain without symptoms for years between the time they are exposed to the virus and when they develop AIDS.
They are called ELISA and WESTERN BLOT. See related link.
Two different types of HIV have been identified in humans: HIV-1 and HIV-2.Both types of HIV are acquired sexually. Both cause AIDS.HIV-1 appears to be more virulent that HIV 2.HIV-1 is most commonly found in the United States, Canada and Europe. HIV-2 has been primarily found in Africa.Other differences between HIV-1 and HIV-2 are:HIV-2 appears to be less easily transmittedThose with HIV-2 are less infectious early in the course of the infectionThe period between initial infection and illness is longer in HIV-2, meaning that those with HIV-2 will show slower deterioration of the immune systemAs the disease advances, HIV-2 infectiousness seems to increaseHIV-2 seems to be less transmissible from an infected mother to her child
Stage 1: Acute fever and upper respiratory symptoms · Stage 2: Fever subsides · Stage 3: Circulatory failure, neurological problems, and hemorrhaging · Stage 4: Shock and death (10% of all cases reach this stage)
HIV 1 can cause fever, headache, fatigue, swollen lymph glands, and a rash. HIV 2 can cause all of those plus confusion, diarrhea, mouth sores, stiff muscles, forgetfulness, and night sweats.
The stages of lymphedema is Stage 0 and this stage has no swelling or signs. Stage 1 is visible swelling. Stage 2 and 3, the disease changes the tissues and infections are common.
SIV studies have shown about 100 ID50 for HIV-2 and 1,000 for HIV-1.
HSV-2 does not transform into HIV.
