what are the symptoms for aids?
Symptoms are:
Early Infection: Fever Headaches Sore Throat Swollen Lymph Glands Rash
Later Infection:
Swollen lymph nodes — often one of the first signs of HIV infection Diarrhea Weight loss Fever Cough and shortness of breath
Latest infection: The development of an opportunistic infection — an infection that occurs when your immune system is impaired — such as Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) A CD4 lymphocyte count of 200 or less — a normal count ranges from 800 to 1,200
By the time AIDS develops, your immune system has been severely damaged, making you susceptible to opportunistic infections. The signs and symptoms of some of these infections may include:
Soaking night sweats Shaking chills or fever higher than 100 F (38 C) for several weeks Dry cough and shortness of breath Chronic diarrhea Persistent white spots or unusual lesions on your tongue or in your mouth Headaches Blurred and distorted vision Weight loss You may also begin to experience signs and symptoms of later stage HIV infection itself, such as:
Persistent, unexplained fatigue Soaking night sweats Shaking chills or fever higher than 100 F (38 C) for several weeks Swelling of lymph nodes for more than three months Chronic diarrhea Persistent headaches http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/hiv-aids/DS00005/DSECTION=symptoms
