Are there any symptoms for guys with hiv/aids

Not Medical Advice: According to the Mayo Clinic, most individuals who are infected with HIV will experience flu-like symptoms within two weeks to three months after the infection. That means you might have a fever, or suffer one or more of the following for a week or two:

• Rash on the legs, arms, face, or belly
• Sore throat
• Swollen lymph glands
• Mouth or private area ulcers
• Bad headaches
• Muscle aches and joint pain
• Nausea and vomiting
• Night sweats

HIV is tricky, in some persons, it will create no symptoms of infection until the damage to the immune system has progressed. You might feel perfectly fine for months or years. Then, you might start suffering from a new sickness or infection that took hold because HIV weakened the immune system. This is why early testing even when you feel well is so vital.

Whether you have no signs after infection, or you suffer a flu-like episode, the virus will soon go into a “latency” phase. During this period, patients might have no symptoms till the immune system is sufficiently weakened or the disease has progressed to AIDS.

Common AIDS symptoms in men include:

• Swollen lymph glands
• Unusual lesions on the tongue; skin rashes and bumps
• Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea
• Cough and shortness of breath
• Chronic fatigue
• Fever, chills, and night sweats
• Rapid weight loss
• Blurred or distorted vision
• Other symptoms of infection or disease
