Primary HIV infection
The initial stage of HIV is known as primary HIV infection. In people who are infected with HIV, 60% will develop associated symptoms, usually 2-6 weeks after they are first infected with HIV.
Symptoms of primary HIV infection may include:
fever,sore throat,tiredness,joint pain,muscle pain,swollen glands (nodes), ora blotchy rash on the chest.These early symptoms are often very mild, so it is easy to mistake them for another condition, such as a cold, or glandular fever.
After the initial symptoms listed above, HIV will often not cause any further symptoms for many years.
Late stage HIV infection
Left untreated, HIV will lower the number of CD4 cells in your body to a dangerously low level, and your immune system will stop working. It normally takes ten years for the virus to damage the immune system in this way. A damaged immune system will inevitably result in you developing a serious infection.
Possible symptoms of a serious infection caused by a damaged immune system include:
persistent tiredness,night sweats,unexplained weigh loss,persistent diarrhoea,blurred vision,white spots on your tongue, or mouth,dry cough,shortness of breath,a fever of above 37C (100F) that lasts a number of weeks, or swollen glands that last for more than three months.

stop asking here and talk to a doctor, or if you want google aids helplines, and call and ask them, and just take a deep breath, you don't know anything for sure so stop freaking out go get tested. I do know one thing though people with aids have a way bettter chance than ever to live a normal life. There are meds today that help more than ever to conceal the disease, but the aids carriers have to be very careful probably take a class or to and stay on the meds. but call your doctor tomorrow.
