The symptoms can seem like a bad case of the flu. They often include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fever and chills.<\/li>\n<li>Headache.<\/li>\n<li>Tiredness.<\/li>\n<li>Swollen lymph glands.<\/li>\n<li>Rash.<\/li>\n<li>Sore joints, muscles or throat.<\/li>\n<li>Weight loss.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Early HIV symptoms are called acute retroviral syndrome or acute HIV infection. The symptoms are the body&#8217;s natural response to the virus. Many people with HIV get flu-like symptoms of it early on, but some people don&#8217;t. More-serious or longer lasting symptoms may not show up for years after a person first catches the virus.<\/p>\n<p>The early symptoms of HIV often go away within a week to a month. The risk of spreading the virus is very high during this time. If you&#8217;re concerned that you might have been exposed to HIV, talk to your health care provider about getting tested.<\/p>\n<p>Treatment can help people with HIV lead long, healthy lives. The drugs that treat HIV also can lower the risk of passing the virus to a partner.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Early signs of the disease can include fever, fatigue and swollen lymph glands.
