Early Signs and Symptoms of HIV Infection

Early Signs and Symptoms of HIV Infection
Signs and symptoms of HIV differ from person to person. While some may show immediate symptoms, others may take time. Usually, early HIV symptoms may be common cold or cough or in some cases mild fever. If HIV symptoms are detected early, an effective diagnosis is possible.
  • Depression is one of the most common symptom of HIV. We all have our days when we feel low, but sometimes the phase of depression lasts for a few weeks. It's better to get your routine check up done.
  • We all have stale, pasty and bad tasting coat in your mouth when you get up. It's called a thrush. Normally, it goes off with one good brushing session. People with HIV infection have a regular occurrence of this coat even after brushing their teeth.
  • Drastic weight loss is a common early symptom of HIV infection. If suddenly you see yourself losing pounds for no apparent reason, then it's better to have a blood test done.
  • Your eyes suffer from constant pressure which makes it hard for you to concentrate. You always have an exploding feeling in your head. A sinus infection is also a common symptom of HIV.
