How long does it take for symptoms to appear after HIV infection?

Acute symptoms of AIDS usually occur about 2-4 weeks after the initial infection with HIV. However, due to differences in individual constitution, not everyone will experience acute symptoms after being infected with HIV. Most patients have mild clinical symptoms that last for 1-3 weeks before being relieved. According to epidemiological data, most patients infected with AIDS will not show any symptoms for a long time from HIV infection to the onset of AIDS (an average of more than 7 years). Therefore, you cannot judge whether you are infected based on symptoms alone. Most people infected with AIDS are young and strong, and 80% are between 18 and 45 years old, which is the age group with more active sexual behavior.

The main symptoms of HIV infection are:

1. Symptoms of the central nervous system. About 30% of AIDS cases have this symptom, including headaches, impaired consciousness, convulsions, etc. 2. Continuous and extensive enlargement of lymph nodes throughout the body. Especially the enlargement of lymph nodes in the neck, armpits and groin is more significant. The diameter of the lymph nodes is more than 1 cm, the texture is firm, movable, and painless.

3. After being infected with AIDS, people often suffer from some rare diseases such as Pneumocystis pneumonia, toxoplasmosis, non-typological mycobacterial and fungal infections, etc.

4. Associated with malignant tumors, such as Kaposi's sarcoma, lymphoma, etc.
