Early Signs Of HIV To Be Aware Of

Fatigue

Out of many of the possible signs and symptoms of HIV, fatigue is the one that may seem the most subtle, yet it can have a profound effect on quality of life. Lack of energy keeps people from being social, active, and carrying out daily tasks. There are a number of ways to battle the fatigue and lethargy that often comes with HIV. It is important to understand the possible causes of HIV fatigue before taking steps to minimize its impact as fatigue may be directly related to the body fighting the virus itself. Immune systems are under attack by HIV, which invades T lymphocytes (also called T-cells) known for helping the body fight infection and disease. The virus then takes energy from T-cells to replicate itself. These microscopic events are manifested as fatigue of the whole body.
