Dr. Hasham notes that HIV symptoms do not necessarily differ between men and women, because we’re talking about the body’s immune system which makes no distinction between men and women. Symptoms can include a flu-like syndrome. You can feel fatigued, tired, can suffer from fever, chills, night sweats, muscle aches, and swollen lymph nodes.
According to HIV.gov, these symptoms can last anywhere from a few days to several weeks. But some people do not have any symptoms at all during this early stage of HIV.  Important to note is that you should not assume you have HIV just because you have any of these symptoms as they can be similar to those caused by other illnesses.
