In A Nutshell

How do I know If I have HIV:

The fever with other usually mild symptoms, such as fatigue, swollen lymph     glands, and a sore throat.

Immune system also can cause you to feel tired and lethargic. Fatigue can be both an early and later sign of HIV because your immune system is responding to the inflammation caused by HIV.

Yeast infection are more likely to happened because of the deplete immunity of a person.

Achy muscles, joint pain, swollen lymph nodes. They are the symptoms of  syphilis or hepatitis or HIV.

Skin rash like in pink areas that aren't easily explained or easily treated

Depleted immune system maybe the results of drastic weight loss ( AIDS Wasting)

Opportunistic infections include Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP), Parasitic infection that affects the brain, and such. They happened to a person of the weakened immune system.

Night sweats that are similar to hot flashes that menopausal women suffer

Nails discoloration, thickening or splitting caused by fungal infections because of the weakening of immune system.

Cognitive problems just as confusion, difficulty concentrating

HIV symptoms don't appear for years—sometimes even a decade—after infection.
