Introduction
Unexplained low-grade fever may recur repeatedly, with body temperature frequently fluctuating between 37.3°C and 38°C. It is often accompanied by general weakness and easy fatigability, which is difficult to relieve even after rest. The condition commonly persists for several weeks and is associated with night sweats that soak clothing during sleep.
2. Skin and mucosal abnormalities: White patches or ulcers may appear on the oral and pharyngeal mucosa, which are difficult to heal; the trunk and limbs may also be affected.
There is no such thing as "10 signs of male AIDS." Symptoms of AIDS in males may include persistent fever and weakness, abnormalities of the skin and mucous membranes, painless enlargement of lymph nodes, gastrointestinal dysfunction, and neurological symptoms.
1. Persistent fever and weakness: Unexplained low-grade fever may recur, with body temperature fluctuating between 37.3°C and 38°C. This is often accompanied by general fatigue and easy tiring, which is difficult to relieve even after rest. The condition often persists for several weeks and is accompanied by night sweats that may soak clothing during sleep.
2. Skin and mucous membrane abnormalities: White patches or ulcers may appear on the oral and pharyngeal mucosa, which are difficult to heal; red maculopapular rashes or urticaria may appear on the trunk and limbs, accompanied by mild itching; herpes may occasionally appear on the genital area, with slow healing after ulceration, indicating declining immune system function.
3. Painless enlargement of lymph nodes: Multiple superficial lymph nodes, such as those in the neck, armpits, and groin, become enlarged. These nodes are soft in texture, mobile, and non-tender, with diameters ranging from approximately 0.5 to 2 centimeters. They may persist for months and show little response to anti-inflammatory treatment.
4. Gastrointestinal dysfunction: Persistent diarrhea is common, with three to five or more bowel movements per day. The stool may be watery or mucus-like and may be accompanied by abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Antibiotic treatment is often ineffective, and prolonged diarrhea leads to rapid weight loss.
5. Neurological symptoms: Persistent headache and dizziness, memory loss, slowed reaction time, and difficulty concentrating may occur. In severe cases, symptoms may include limb numbness, tingling, or changes in mental status, such as depression, anxiety, and cognitive impairment.
The above symptoms do not necessarily indicate HIV infection, as they may also be signs of other diseases. HIV testing can help confirm whether a person is infected with the HIV virus. Practicing safe sex, using condoms, and avoiding needle sharing can effectively prevent the transmission of HIV.
