What are the symptoms of AIDS?

Generally, symptoms of AIDS include fever, fatigue, sore throat, night sweats, nausea, and vomiting. If necessary, timely medical attention is recommended. Detailed explanations are as follows:

1. Fever

After the HIV virus enters the body, the immune system responds rapidly in an attempt to eliminate the virus. This process triggers an inflammatory response in the body, leading to fever.

2. Fatigue

The body continuously consumes large amounts of energy to fight the HIV virus, while the virus itself interferes with normal cellular metabolism. As a result, muscles and other tissues may not receive sufficient energy, causing patients to often feel extremely fatigued.

3. Sore Throat

During the early stages of HIV infection, the immune system is heavily engaged in fighting the virus, leaving local defenses in the respiratory tract relatively weakened. This allows bacteria and other pathogens to enter more easily, causing throat inflammation and sore throat.

4. Night Sweats

The HIV virus disrupts the autonomic nervous system, affecting the normal regulatory function of sweat glands. Combined with metabolic changes caused by the body's immune response, patients often experience excessive sweating during sleep, which stops upon waking.

5. Nausea and Vomiting

The virus invades the gastrointestinal tract, damaging the intestinal mucosal barrier and affecting the secretion of digestive fluids and gastrointestinal motility, thereby interfering with normal digestion. This often leads to nausea and, in severe cases, frequent vomiting.

In daily life, it is important to maintain personal hygiene, avoid high-risk behaviors, enhance self-protection awareness, and undergo regular medical checkups.
