HIV and AIDS have a very broad range of symptoms. It can range from feeling fine to being critically ill. When someone gets HIV, they typically have symptoms early and late with a long period in the middle without any symptoms. About 2-4 weeks after you first become infected with HIV, most people develop a "flu-like" illness. The symptoms can mimick the flu or other simple viral illnesses. As a result, it can easily be dismissed by patients and doctors alike. Early symptoms can include: Fever, swollen glands, rash, joint and muscle aches, and nausea and vomitting. These symptoms may last for a couple of weeks, and then go away completely. Most patients probably never give this much thought. You can then be symptom-free for even 10 years or so, before you develop complications of a weakened immune system. These symptoms are more varied and include serious infections. People may develop weight loss, fevers, tiredness, and a host of other infections.
