Another early sign of HIV is fever, especially when it reoccurs. A fever is a natural response of the body and happens because it is trying to fight against the virus.
A fever could keep recurring as the virus manifests itself. Additionally, a patient may notice that there’s no apparent explanation for the fever.
Key Takeaways
The early signs of HIV are not definite ways to determine if a patient is infected or not. However, if a patient experiences any of the symptoms above and has recently participated in any form of unprotected sex, it might be a good idea to get tested as soon as possible.
In general, it would be best to avoid HIV by practicing safe sex, being sure to use protection (e.g. condoms) during any sexual encounter. This includes both penetrative and oral sex, regardless of each partner’s sexual orientation.
