Primary Symptoms of HIV
HIV viruses affect the immune systems, specifically CD4 cells. These CD4 body cells are essential as they offer protection to the body from disease. Dissimilar to other viruses which the body immune systems can fight, HIV is not eliminated by an immune system. The symptoms of HIV vs. AIDs vary significantly from person to person. No people positive with HIV experience the same symptom. However, the symptoms are common and in general patterns: 1. Fever Fever is usually the first symptom of HIV. Mild symptoms habitually accompany the heat. At such points, the viruses are moving into the bloodstream. The virus begins to replicate and in large numbers within a short period. As replication goes on, your immune system induces inflammatory reactions. 2. Fatigue and mild headaches The inflammatory responses generated by the besieged immune systems can make you feel weary and lethargic. Occasionally it could make one feel breathless while walking and generally feel a shortness of breath. Fatigue may be an early warning symptom of HIV or later symptoms. 3. Achy joints or muscles, and swollen lymph nodes A lymph node is part of the body’s immune system. Lymph nodes protect blood by fighting off bacteria or viruses.
