What are the early symptoms of AIDS?

　　AIDS usually refers to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. In general, the early symptoms of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome mainly include fever, swollen lymph nodes, rash, sore throat, fatigue, and weakness. If discomfort symptoms appear, it is recommended to seek timely medical treatment at a regular hospital. Detailed analysis is as follows:

　　1. Fever

　　After the virus invades the body, it stimulates the immune system, triggering an immune response and releasing inflammatory factors that affect the body's temperature regulation center, leading to fever. The temperature is usually a low to moderate fever ranging from 37.5-38.5°C, lasting for several days to a week. Some patients may experience night sweats, waking up with clothes soaked in sweat.

　　2. Swollen Lymph Nodes

　　The virus replicates within the lymph nodes, causing an inflammatory response that leads to lymph node swelling. It commonly occurs in areas such as the neck, armpits, and groin. The swollen lymph nodes are soft in texture and slightly tender when pressed. They typically do not fuse together and may resolve spontaneously after several weeks.

　　3. Rash

　　The virus and inflammatory factors affect the skin and mucous membranes, causing abnormal skin reactions and resulting in rashes. These rashes are often red maculopapular eruptions located on the trunk and limbs. Some rashes may be accompanied by mild itching but no significant pain. They generally subside gradually within 1-2 weeks without leaving scars.

　　4. Sore Throat

　　The virus invades the mucous membranes of the throat, causing inflammation and resulting in throat pain. The pain significantly worsens during swallowing and may be accompanied by redness and swelling of the throat, dryness, or a foreign body sensation. Severe cases can affect normal eating and speaking, with symptoms usually easing within a few days.

　　5. Fatigue

　　Viral replication consumes a large amount of the body's energy, while the immune response further burdens the body, leading to insufficient energy supply and causing fatigue. Patients often feel generally weak, and the fatigue is difficult to relieve even after adequate rest. They tire easily after minor daily activities and often have a poor mental state.

　　If you notice any of the above symptoms and have had high-risk behavior recently, you should seek medical attention immediately for relevant examinations. In daily life, avoid sharing personal items and take proper protective measures. After diagnosis, follow medical advice for standardized treatment, maintain a regular routine, eat a balanced diet, engage in appropriate light exercise to strengthen your constitution, and manage psychological well-being to avoid excessive anxiety.
