HIV Symptoms in Men: Initial Stages
In order to detect the presence of HIV, one may have to undergo a series of tests. Though the initial HIV symptoms of men are very mild and can go unnoticed as a normal illness. Fever is the first symptom that can be observed if an individual has been affected by HIV. This symptom usually occurs after two to four weeks of infection. The fever can be mild in nature (around 100 ºF) and dissipates after a week as cold or flu. Fever can be accompanied by headaches that can be mild or severe in nature. Rashes and certain skin irregularities that become apparent soon after the infection, are also one of the HIV symptoms in men. Rash, also known as a skin rash looks like a patch and is slightly darker than the surrounding area. In some cases, this rash is elevated and is itchy and has a burning sensation. Since the HIV attacks the lymph glands first, it may cause a swelling in the lymph glands that can be mistaken for another illness. Some men even experience a loss of energy and stamina leading to fatigue. They may even feel tired after work or any physical activity.
