Between six weeks and three months after infection (while your body is beginning to form antibodies to the virus), other early symptoms such as rashes and a fever may show up. And while a majority of those infected with the disease will be asymptomatic, it's important to get any of these reoccurring ailments checked out.
If you have the virus, you are always contagious -- however, during the earliest stages, the risk for contamination is VERY high. Not only can you pass this on to a partner, but also to an unborn baby.
As the infection progresses, those with the disease become more prone to illness and infection. And while a healthy individual can find successful treatments for these everyday ailments, those with HIV have weakened immune systems and a tougher time battling even the common cold.
- The later symptoms of HIV include:
- Frequent fevers
- Persistent yeast infections
- Dramatic weight loss
- Lack of energy
- Mouth, genital, or anal sores from herpes infections.
- Persistent skin rashes or flaky skin
- Short-term memory loss
