Answers:
Many people have NO symptoms of HIV until years after infection when the immune system has been seriously damaged, although some people have flu-like symptoms within a couple months of the time they were infected!. After those symptoms disappear, it could take years for any more symptoms to show up!. They would not show up again only 2 months later!.

2!. As I said, most people have NO symptoms until years after infection, so that means there would not be any oral symptoms 6 months after infection, even in people who do get the flu-like symptoms!. Years later, once the immune system has been damaged, oral thrush could appear!.

Lack of symptoms is one reason testing is so important!. Most people test positive within 3 months of infection, but in rare cases, it could take up to 6 months for someone to build up enough antibodies to show up on tests!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

HIV, or the human immunodeficiency virus, is a sexually transmitted disease that assails the immune system!. The virus attacks your CD4 cells (or T4 cells), which are necessary to fight off illnesses!. Eventually, the virus overwhelms the CD4 cells and your body becomes unable to fight off diseases and infections!. Once your body's CD4 cell count falls below 200 per cubic millimeter of blood, and/or an opportunistic infection takes hold of your weakened immune system, you will be diagnosed with AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome)!. Symptoms of HIV vary according to what stage of the infection you are in!.
Early Symptoms of HIV
The earliest symptoms of HIV infection occur while your body begins to form antibodies to the virus (known as seroconversion) between six weeks and three months after infection with the HIV virus!. Those who do show early HIV symptoms will develop flu-like symptoms!. This can include: fever, rash, muscles aches and swollen lymph nodes and glands!. However, for most people, the first symptoms of HIV will not be apparent!.

Although the infection is slowly taking hold of your body, the majority of those infected with HIV will be asymptomatic!. Only by being tested for HIV can you know for sure if you have been infected!. Yet, despite the absence of HIV symptoms, you are still highly contagious during this time making it very much a possibility to infect others, including your baby!.

HIV/AIDS Symptoms
As the infection progresses, people with HIV grow increasingly susceptible to illnesses and infection that don't normally affect the healthy population!. Even though many of these illnesses can easily be treated, those with HIV often have such weakened immune systems that typical cures fail!.

Without treatment, people infected with HIV can expect to develop AIDS eight to ten years after HIV infection!. Taking HIV medications, however, can slow down this progression!. With treatment, it can take ten to 15 years or more before you develop AIDS!. In the later stages of HIV, before it progresses to full blown AIDS, signs of HIV infection can involve more severe symptoms!. These include:

chronic yeast infections or thrush (yeast infection of the mouth)
Fever and/or night sweats
Easy bruising
Bouts of extreme exhaustion
Unexplained body rashes
Appearance of purplish lesions on the skin or inside mouth
Sudden unexplained weight loss
Chronic diarrhea lasting for a month or more
