Question: What are the symptoms for hiv
Answer: Hi Anon

Thanks for your question Human Immunodeficiency Virus HIV you must understand does not have any characteristic symptoms that define it The virus essentially weakens the bodys immune system causing a variety of manifestations which are also commonly seen in different other conditions Even after an initial period of symptoms such as fever sore throat muscle pain an infected person may show no other symptoms This does not mean that the person is now better The virus is simply quietly further taking over the body Eventually HIV if untreated will become AIDS which has even more severe rather nonspecific symptoms

As the old saying goes AIDS no dey show for face Proper treatment with existing HIV medication will prevent HIV from progressing to AIDS and will enable an individual live a practically normal life

If you suspect that you may have been exposed to the virus at some kindly do not hesitate to get tested HIV is not a death sentence

Kind regards
