More about hiv symptoms

The highest risk sexual activity, however, is thought to be receptive anal intercourse without a condom. At early stage of HIV infection, the person does not have hiv symptoms such as opportunistic infections, certain cancers, or a CD4 count of less than 200.
Some possible symptoms include: Fever, Muscle soreness, Rash, Headache, Sore throat, Mouth or genital ulcers, Swollen lymph glands, mainly on the neck, Joint pain, Night sweats, Diarrhea.
This production of virus is associated with a decline (at an inconsistent rate) in the number of CD4 cells in the blood over the ensuing years. Although the precise mechanism by which HIV infection results in CD4 cell decline is not known; it probably results from a direct effect of the virus on the cell as well as the body’s attempt to clear these infected cells from the system.
