How you know if you got AIDS or h.i.v?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

* 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.

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

Doctors can perform a blood test to make this diagnosis.
