According to Mayo Clinic, HIV infection initially begins with flu like symptoms within two weeks to three months. It is accompanied by following symptoms:
- sore throat
- mouth or genital ulcers
- head aches
- nausea and vomiting
- night sweats
- rash on the arms, legs,face or belly
- rapid weight loss
- blurred or distorted vision
- fever, chills and night sweats
In some patients even though they are affected with HIV they do not experience any symptoms as the virus soon go into a "latency" phase. And the symptoms finally occur when the immunity system is weakened sufficiently that the disease progress towards AIDS.
