Detailed explanation-1: -People usually look and feel totally healthy for a long time after they’re infected. It can take 10 years or more for HIV to show any symptoms-or much, much longer than that for people who take HIV medicines.
Detailed explanation-2: -Approximately 90 percent of people living with HIV develop skin changes and symptoms at some stage during the course of their disease. The good news is that with good viral control and preservation of the immune system, skin problems have become far less common. They are also less severe and easier to treat.
Detailed explanation-3: -Symptoms of HIV infection Most people experience a short flu-like illness 2 to 6 weeks after HIV infection, which lasts for a week or 2. After these symptoms disappear, HIV may not cause any symptoms for many years, although the virus continues to damage your immune system.
Detailed explanation-4: -The only way you can know for sure if you have HIV is to get tested. Although the virus can cause symptoms, they’re not a reliable way to tell if you’re infected.
