What are the signs for aids?

Answer 1

Just to summarize, following are the main HIV symptoms:

1. Rapid weight loss
2. Dry cough
3. Recurring fever or profuse night sweats
4. Profound and unexplained fatigue
5. Wollen lymph glands in the armpits, groin, or neck
6. Diarrhea that lasts for more than a week
7. White spots or unusual blemishes on the tongue, in the mouth, or in the throat
8. Pneumonia
9. Red, brown, pink, or purplish blotches on or under the skin or inside the mouth, nose, or eyelids
10. Memory loss, depression, and other neurological disorders.

HIV is the virus that causes the disease called AIDS. At first, there can be rash, fever, sore throat, and not feeling well. Later it seems to go away. This is called the latent stage and lasts for a few weeks or more than 20 years. The last stage is called AIDS and a low T cell count is seen, with cancers and various infections which the person can't fight off.
The following are excellent examples of symptoms of HIV: heavy or ragged breathing, a rash in the infected area (usually purple/ yellow), gas, spotty fision, and most importantly an extreme sexual desire toward people of the same gender.
fever, swollen lymph nodes, sore throat, rash, muscle pain, malaise, and mouth and esophageal sores.

The symptoms of a HIV infection are fever, fatigue, rash, headache, swollen lymph nodes, sore throat and many more symptoms. However, some of the symptoms are very close to having a flu or cold.
there are many signs with hiv,i cant tell u more details,but you can to datingpoz...C óM to learn more about it.
There are technically no SET signs for HIV. You have to be tested to be sure that you actually have the virus. For some, a few weeks after exposure, mononucleosis like symptoms develop. Then they go away. The virus can remain physically undetected for 7 or more years until AIDS develops. Check the links for details.
Not everyone gets symptoms following infection. About 75% of people get very heavy flu-like symptoms - Google 'HIV seroconversion symptoms' for details.
The symptoms of HIV varies depending on the stage of the infection, some of them are: mouth and genital ulcers, joint pain, fatigue, soaking night sweats, rashes, chronic diarrhoea, fever for several weeks, to name a few.
Being HIV positive does not mean that you are going to get sick right away. It might be a very long time, even years, before any symptoms develop.

Answer 2

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.

Signs and testsThe following is a list of AIDS-related infections and cancers that people with AIDS may get as their CD4 count decreases. In the past, having AIDS was defined as having HIV infection and getting one of these additional diseases. Today, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a person may also be diagnosed as having AIDS if they have a CD4 cell count below 200, even if they don't have an opportunistic infection.

AIDS may also be diagnosed if a person develops one of the opportunistic infections and cancers that occur more commonly in people with HIV infection. These infections are unusual in people with a healthy immune system.

CD4 cells are a type of immune cell. They are also called "T cells" or "helper cells."

Many other illnesses and corresponding symptoms may develop in addition to those listed here.

Common with CD4 count below 350 cells/mcl:

• Herpes simplex virus -- causes ulcers/small blisters in the mouth or genitals, happens more frequently and usually much more severely in an HIV-infected person than in someone without HIV infection
• Tuberculosis -- infection by the tuberculosis bacteria that mostly affects the lungs, but can affect other organs such as the bowel, lining of the heart or lungs, brain, or lining of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord)
• Oral or vaginal thrush -- yeast infection of the mouth or vagina
• Herpes zoster (shingles) -- ulcers/small blisters over a patch of skin, caused by reactivation of the varicella zoster virus
• Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma -- cancer of the lymph nodes
• Kaposi's sarcoma -- cancer of the skin, lungs, and bowel, associated with a herpes virus (HHV-8). Can happen at any CD4 count, but is more likely to happen at lower CD4 counts, and is more common in men than in women

Common with CD4 count below 200 cells/mcl:

• Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, "PCP pneumonia," now called Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia
• Candida esophagitis -- painful yeast infection of the esophagus
• Bacillary angiomatosis -- skin lesions caused by a bacteria called Bartonella, which may be acquired from cat scratches

Common with CD4 count below 100 cells/mcl:

• Cryptococcal meningitis -- fungal infection of the lining of the brain
• AIDS dementia -- worsening and slowing of mental function, caused by HIV itself
• Toxoplasma encephalitis -- infection of the brain by a parasite, called Toxoplasma gondi, which is frequently found in cat feces; causes lesions (sores) in the brain
• Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy -- a viral disease of the brain caused by a virus (called the JC virus) that results in a severe decline in mental and physical functions
• Wasting syndrome -- extreme weight loss and loss of appetite, caused by HIV itself
• Cryptosporidium diarrhea -- Extreme diarrhea caused by one of the parasites that affect the gastrointestinal tract

Common with CD4 count below 50/mcl:

• Mycobacterium avium -- a blood infection by a bacterium related to tuberculosis
• Cytomegalovirus infection -- a viral infection that can affect almost any organ system, especially the large bowel and the eyes

In addition to the CD4 count, a test called HIV RNA level (or viral load) may be used to monitor patients. Basic screening lab tests and regular cervical Pap smears are important to monitor in HIV infection, due to the increased risk of Cervical cancer in immunocompromised women. Anal Pap smears to detect potential cancers may also be important in both HIV infected men and women.

Answer 3

Often a mother with HIV will inform the doctor before the baby is born, which allows for treatment to begin immediately. After a month or two, an HIV infected baby might begin to appear sick, with poor weight gain, mouth infections (thrush), enlarged lymph nodes, an enlarged liver or spleen, brain and nervous system problems, and numerous infections (such as pneumonia).

Answer 4

If you think that you may be at risk for an HIV infection, then you may want to keep a few signs of HIV in mind to help assess your situation. One of the most common initial signs of HIV is flu-like symptoms. Also, you will start to have lesions on the inside of your mouth that are similar to canker sores. No matter what, nothing is more certain than a real test for genuinely accurate results.

Answer 5

Weight loss,night sweats,fatiuqe,loss of apitite

Answer 6

HIV extremely bad for babies, extremely bad because babies are extremely fragile to infections and HIV will make the infants immune system have a decreased rate of dealing with infection.

Answer 7

A baby born with HIV often has no signs of HIV infection at birth.

Answer 8

A person can contract HIV through a few ways such as sharing a needle, intercourse and more. Someone with HIV has an impaired immune system and will likely show signs of illness.
