Symptoms of the acute phase of AIDS do not usually appear singularly.
From the infection of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) to the development of AIDS can be divided into three stages: acute HIV infection, and asymptomatic HIV infection and AIDS.
In the acute phase of HIV infection, the main symptoms are fever, fatigue, sore throat and general malaise (similar to the symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection). 20% to 25% of the patients may have skin rashes such as maculopapular rash, roseola, or urticaria and a small number of patients may have enlarged lymph nodes and neurological symptoms. The disease resolves spontaneously after 1-3 weeks, with a transient decrease in CD4 T lymphocyte counts and an inverse CD4/CD8* ratio. There is usually no single symptom.
Symptoms alone are not enough to determine if you have AIDS. If you suspect that you are infected with HIV, it is recommended that you seek prompt medical attention to avoid delaying your condition.
