Fever
When you have the flu, fever is a normal symptom. However, if this is a common problem for you, you should do a HIV test as soon as possible.
Tiredness
HIV is a disease which affects a person’s stamina and lowers the levels of energy. Therefore, if you feel tired even after a good night’s sleep or a nap, you should consult your physician.
Muscle pain
If you feel pain in your back, joints, and legs while doing day to day tasks, you should consult a doctor.
Headache and sore throat
When you’ve been infected with HIV, the immunity weakens and any infection can attack your system very easy. This may manifest through an irritation in the throat or a strong headache which may last with days.
Rashes
HIV is known to manifest through itchy rashes on the skin.
Unexplained weight loss and loss of appetite
These two symptoms are often associated with HIV; therefore, you should consult your physician for further tests.
Inability to focus
An unhealthy body is the cause of an unhealthy mind. So, if you experience a difficulty to concentrate on your work, you should consult your physician.
Brittle nails
Brittle nails and changes in nail color may be a symptom of HIV. Yellow nails are a well-known sign of this infection.
Dry cough
Sticky cough that lasts for a longer period of time might be a sign of HIV.
Night sweats
If you’ve been sweating a lot at night, accompanied by a difficulty breathing and falling asleep, even though the temperature in the room is balanced, you should consult your physician.
