Although the early signs of infection usually appear within the first 1-2 months, HIV symptoms vary from person to person. As a normal response to the infection, many people, but not all, will have severe flu-like symptoms. The'seroconversion' phase is the name given to this stage.
It's crucial to determine whether HIV is to fault at this time because your viral load is quite high, increasing your chances of transmitting it on to others.
Your immune system's CD4 cells, commonly known as T cells, are damaged by HIV. If you don't have CD4 cells, your body has a hard time fighting diseases. This increases your risk of being very unwell from infections that would otherwise be considered innocuous. AIDS occurs as a result of HIV's long-term harm to your immune system.
You have AIDS if you have a number of unusual illnesses (called opportunistic infections) or malignancies, or if you lose a certain number of CD4 cells. This happens about 10 years after you get HIV if you don't seek therapy. Treatment can help you avoid or delay the onset of AIDS.
