Many people will not have any symptoms of HIV when they are first infected with HIV (human immunodeficiency virus). However, some people do have a flu-like illness within a month or two after exposure. This illness may include:
Fever
Headache
Tiredness
Enlarged lymph nodes (glands of the immune system easily felt in the neck and groin).
These HIV symptoms usually disappear within a week to a month, and are often mistaken for those of another viral infection. During this period, people are highly infectious (can easily spread the virus), and HIV is present in large quantities in genital fluids.
