The Human Immune Virus is one of humanity’s most dangerous killer infections. It is feared since there is still no cure for the virus, and anyone who acquires it will be completely reliant on medications for the rest of their lives. Despite the fact that HIV is a fatal disease, there are some interesting facts about it that everyone should know.

One of those facts is that HIV/AIDS doesn’t really show signs and symptoms till its later stage. But for the sake of education, let’s take a look at some of the HIV symptoms that appear within 2 to 4 weeks of contracting the virus. See them below;

1. Swollen Lymph Nodes.

The lymphatic system is a part of the white blood cells. And when a person contracts a serious virus, or a strange bacteria enters the body, the nodes often become swollen and visible. If you notice enlarged lymph nodes in your neck or armpit, you should seek medical attention.

2. Sore throat.

According to experts, a person afflicted with HIV would have flu-like symptoms several weeks after catching the virus. If you develop a sore throat that is not only dry but also painful, you should seek medical attention.

3. Fever.

One of the early signs of HIV infection is a fever. The body is still reacting to the odd virus in the bloodstream at this point.

4. Muscle Aches.

This is another symptom of HIV/AIDS that appears within a few weeks of infection.

5. Mouth ulcers.

A few weeks after contracting HIV, you may notice some sores in your mouth for no apparent reason. All of these are physiological reactions to something strange that has come into contact with your body.

Conclusion.

To be on the safe side, get an HIV/AIDS test, especially if you had unprotected intercourse with someone whose status you don’t know. The symptoms listed above do not guarantee that you have HIV/AIDS, in certain situations, they could be caused by another illness. So the only way to be sure is to get a proper examination.
