When HIV is transferred to children from their parents, it is the worst disease to be born with. Some infants do not show any symptoms of the virus in the early stages of life, because the incubation of the virus itself takes more than 10 years. Therefore, these children have delayed growth and development. There are three stages of the infections in kids, viz. the mild, moderate and severe. These are observed when the child is below puberty and shows the first symptoms of HIV. These are,
Mild: Swelling of the lymph nodes and parotid gland and abdomen, recurring sinus, ear infections, skin rash.
Moderate: Inflammation of lung tissues and the liver, persistent diarrhea and fever, thrush, severe chickenpox, kidney disease.
Severe: Multiple serious bacterial infections, systemic yeast infection, encephalopathy, pneumocystis pneumonia, and cancer.
With these mentioned above, you must have learned what are the symptoms of HIV infection in individuals of various age groups and sexes. This is a dreaded disease which is the worst curse on humanity. Fighting against it together can be much easier than facing it alone. So, make sure you take precautions to stay away and if you have contracted it use medical help before time slips out.
