Advanced infection
It may take some time, but HIV may eventually break down a person’s immune system. Once this happens, HIV will progress to stage 3 HIV, often referred to as AIDS. AIDS is the last stage of the disease. A person at this stage has a severely damaged immune system, making them more susceptible to opportunistic infections.

Opportunistic infections are conditions that the body would normally be able to fight off, but can be harmful to people who have HIV. People living with HIV may notice that they frequently get colds, flu, and fungal infections. They might also experience the following stage 3 HIV symptoms:

nausea
vomiting
persistent diarrhea
chronic fatigue
rapid weight loss
cough and shortness of breath
recurring fever, chills, and night sweats
rashes, sores, or lesions in the mouth or nose, on the ge****ls, or under the skin
prolonged swelling of the lymph nodes in the armpits, groin, or neck
memory loss, confusion, or neurological disorders

Asymptomatic period
After the initial symptoms disappear, HIV may not cause any additional symptoms for months or years. During this time, the virus replicates and begins to weaken the immune system. A person at this stage won’t feel or look sick, but the virus is still active. They can easily transmit the virus to others. This is why early testing, even for those who feel fine, is so important.

Acute illness
Approximately 80 percent of people who contract HIV experience flu-like symptoms within two to four weeks. This flu-like illness is known as acute HIV infection. Acute HIV infection is the primary stage of HIV and lasts until the body has created antibodies against the virus.

The most common symptoms of this stage of HIV include:

body rash
fever
sore throat
severe headaches
Less common symptoms may include:

fatigue
swollen lymph nodes
ulcers in the mouth or on the ge****ls
muscle aches
joint pain
nausea and vomiting
night sweats
Symptoms typically last one to two weeks. Anyone who has these symptoms and thinks they may have contracted HIV should consider scheduling an appointment with their healthcare provider to get tested.

HIV is a virus that affects the immune system, specifically the CD4 cells. The CD4 cells help protect the body from illness. Unlike other viruses that the immune system can fight off, HIV can’t be eliminated by the immune system.

The symptoms of HIV can vary greatly from person to person. No two people with HIV will likely experience the exact same symptoms. However, HIV will generally follow this pattern:

acute illness
asymptomatic period
advanced infection

HIV is only spread through sharing sharp objects, blood transfusion, specific body fluids: semen, pre-seminal fluid (pre-cum), vaginal and re**al fluid, and breast milk. You can prevent an infection by avoiding those.

Without treatment, most people with HIV will eventually develop AIDS.
