Symptoms of fever occur during the acute phase of HIV and AIDS.
The acute phase of AIDS usually occurs in the second to fourth week of the initial HIV infection, during which most patients have mild clinical manifestations that last for one to three weeks before the symptoms disappear on their own. Among the clinical manifestations, fever is the most common, mainly due to the violation of the body’s immune system. Patients may also have generalized weakness, headache, nausea, vomiting, skin rash, enlarged lymph nodes and other manifestations.
In the AIDS stage, the main clinical manifestations of patients are HIV-related symptoms, various opportunistic infections and tumors. The malignant symptoms of HIV are varied and include fever, night sweats, diarrhea, and weight loss lasting for more than a month. Various opportunistic infections and tumors such as Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, meningitis, esophagitis, and Kaposi’s sarcoma can also cause fever.
