Early Signs Of HIV To Be Aware Of

Fever

One of the most common symptoms of HIV is a fever, which is when body temperature is higher than normal. There are many reasons for an HIV-related fever including reactions to the disease, HIV medications, and other infections as a result of lowered immunity. Other symptoms can be present with a fever such as fatigue, swollen lymph nodes, and night sweats. Several treatment options can be offered by doctors depending on the severity and cause of the fever. People with HIV can experience persistent or occasional fevers. A fever is the body’s normal response to a viral infection, so in the case of acute HIV infection, persistent fever is often a good sign that the body is still functioning as it should.
