What are symptoms of HIV/AIDS?

  • What are symptoms of someone who is infected HIV/AIDS??

  • Answer:

    Symptoms of HIV AIDS vries depending on how far advanced it is. When my best friend contrcted it she complained of flu like symptoms and a stomach ache that caused her to miss work for two days. He parter became ill with shingles and also complained of a major stomach and back ache. Many people live normal lives with HIV so unless you deal with it you wouldnt be able to tell. Most of the people I know have bags under their eyes and weight loss due to the illness but other than that they live normal. They get colds and it doesnt necessiraly mean it will send them to ICU. Advanced stages are more easier to recognize as they loose color and weight.

90% of the people we talk to that have tested HIV+ remember flu like symptoms after their last negative HIV test and testing HIV+

Unfortunately they don't come with a sign on the forehead saying I have AIDS. Many people are infected and do not even know it. A person can live with HIV for months to years without being tested and not get really sick that would make them go to a hospital. If they show up with pneumonia and get cultured and found out it is pneuomocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) they most likely have AIDS because it is hardly ever if ever seen in a person without AIDS. Many people with advanced AIDS have lost considerable wt, and are very weak and sick looking overall. Some have lesions on the face and body called Kaposi Sarcoma. A good picture of AIDS is depicted in the movie Philadelphia with Tom Hanks. Google it and read about it. Stay safe and Prevention is the key.

First of all, people who are HIV positive may not have any obvious signs that are noticeable to others. You should always use a condom with anyone who you have never been down to the clinic to be tested with. But early symptoms include swollen glands, night sweats, weight loss, diarrhea, being tired, and thrush (yeast infection in the mouth). The CDC has a great website full of information on HIV and AIDS. I am including a link.
