Q: HIV symptoms questions
asked by: nossp06 on December 28th, 2007

1) How long do early hiv symptoms usually last after exposure to HIV?

2)Do they come in a package, meaning you have to usally have fever first and then the other flu-like symptoms, or are they spread out?

3) if you have one symptom, lets say muscle pain/weakness on same areas (this case arms and legs) without (fever, rash, swollen nymph glands) and last 5 weeks, is this a sign of hiv? Blood/urine test (after 1 week after sexual experience) diagosed no viral/bacterial infection, an elevated white blood cell count and dehydration.

4) After one week after sexual encounter, would non-hiv specific test diagnose viral infection if hiv is present?
