4. Sore throat
5. Rash
6. Muscle and joint aches
7. Headache
8. Diarrhea
9. Night sweats
10. Mouth sores
As HIV progresses to AIDS, symptoms may include:
1. Rapid weight loss
2. Recurring fever or profuse night sweats
3. Extreme and unexplained tiredness
4. Prolonged swelling of the lymph glands in the armpits, groin, or neck
5. Diarrhea that lasts for more than a week
6. Sores of the mouth, anus, or genitals
7. Pneumonia
8. Red, brown, pink, or purplish blotches on or under the skin or inside the mouth, nose, or eyelids
9. Memory loss, depression, and other neurologic disorders
It is important to note that some people may not experience any symptoms for many years after being infected with HIV. It is also possible for individuals to have symptoms that are similar to other illnesses, so it is important to get tested for HIV if you think you may have been exposed.
