AIDS symptoms

AIDS, also known as acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), is caused by infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The following symptoms may occur: 1. Recurrent low-grade fever: If infected with HIV, one may experience persistent low-grade fever. Continuous low-grade fever indicates that pathogens are constantly present in the body, and the immune system is continuously fighting these pathogens, which may include the human papillomavirus (HPV). When HPV enters the bloodstream, the immune system constantly battles it, leading to low-grade fever. 2. Swollen lymph nodes: Enlarged lymph nodes are among the primary symptoms of AIDS. Lymph nodes are part of the body's immune system; if the immune system experiences inflammation, the lymph nodes will swell. Additionally, patients may feel muscle and joint pain throughout their body. 3. Somnolence: After being infected with HIV, the immune system works continuously, consuming large amounts of energy, which makes patients feel extremely fatigued. 4. Skin rash: Many factors can cause skin rashes, such as allergies. A rash may also appear after HIV infection. Rashes generally occur in the early stage of HIV infection, appear pink in color, and are accompanied by itching. They are often unresponsive to treatment with common medications and antibiotics. 5. Nausea and vomiting: Nausea and vomiting are also common symptoms following HIV infection. 6. Night sweats: Approximately half of individuals experience night sweats during the early stages of AIDS. As the disease progresses, night sweats become increasingly pronounced. This kind of sweating is unrelated to room temperature and typically occurs during sleep.
