Signs and symptoms

Some HIV patients may believe they are healthy. Others may experience unexplained weariness, swollen glands or lymph nodes, dry cough or shortness of breath (not caused by a cold), fever, chills, or night sweats, unexplained weight loss, chronic diarrhea, or odd patches on the skin or in the mouth.

Remember that similar symptoms are also prevalent in other disorders. If these symptoms persist, you should consult a doctor.
