Some of the first symptoms of HIV are fever and body aches. Many HIV carriers also experience rashes, headaches, and swollen glands. Many other things cause the same symptoms which is why most carriers don't know they have the disease. This is the asymptomatic stage-the period of time when a person infected has no symptoms.
