HIV INFECTION

HIV INFECTION 

Stage 1: Acute primary infection

 Around one to four weeks after getting HIV, some people will experience symptoms that can feel like flu. These may not last long (a week or two) and you may only get some of the flu symptoms – or none at all. Experiencing these symptoms alone is not a reliable way of diagnosing HIV.

You should always visit your healthcare professional if you’re worried about or think you’ve been at risk of getting HIV, even if you don’t feel unwell or have any of the following symptoms. They can then arrange for you to get tested.

Symptoms can include:


  • fever (raised temperature)
  • body rash
  • sore throat
  • swollen glands
  • headache
  • upset stomach
  • joint aches and pains
  • muscle pain.

These symptoms can happen because your body is reacting to the HIV virus. Cells that are infected with HIV are circulating throughout your blood system. Your immune system, in response, tries to attack the virus by producing HIV antibodies - this process is called seroconversion. Timing varies but once you have HIV it can take your body up to a few months to go through the seroconversion process.

It may be too early to get an accurate HIV test result at this point (find out more about ‘window periods’), but the levels of virus in your blood system are high at this stage.

Because you may not know that you (or your partner) have HIV, condoms are the best way to protect yourself and your partner when having sex. Using a condom is especially important if you think you have been exposed to HIV.

Stage 2: The asymptomatic stage

 Once a person has been through the acute primary infection stage and seroconversion process, they can often start to feel better. In fact, HIV may not cause any other symptoms for up to 10 or even 15 years (depending on age, background and general health). However, the virus will still be active, infecting new cells and making copies of itself. If left untreated, over time, this will cause severe damage to the immune system.

Stage 3: Symptomatic HIV infection

 By the third stage of HIV infection a person’s immune system is severely damaged. At this point, they’re more likely to get serious infections, or bacterial and fungal diseases that the body would otherwise be able to fight off. These infections are referred to as ‘opportunistic infections’.

Symptoms can include:

  • weight loss
  • chronic diarrhoea
  • night sweats
  • fever
  • persistent cough
  • mouth and skin problems
  • regular infections
  • serious illness or disease.

Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 2

Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 2 Dr vinod raina is best hiv doctor in delhi   Back in 1984, 3 years following the initial reports of an illness which was to become known as AIDS, researchers found the principal causative viral agent, the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). In 1986, another kind of HIV, known as HIV-2, was isolated from AIDS patients in West Africa, in which it might have been current decades before. Studies of the natural history of HIV-2 are restricted, but thus far comparisons with HIV-1 reveal some similarities while indicating differences. The two HIV-1 and HIV-2 have the very same modes of transmission and also therefore are connected with comparable opportunistic diseases and AIDS. In men infected with HIV-2, immunodeficiency appears to grow more gradually and to be milder. In comparison with men infected with HIV-1, people that have HIV-2 are less infectious early in the course of disease. As the disease progresses, HIV-2 infectiousness app...
