Detailed explanation-1: -Though people living with HIV tend to be most infectious in the first few months after being infected, many are unaware of their status until the later stages. In the first few weeks after initial infection people may experience no symptoms or an influenza-like illness including fever, headache, rash or sore throat.
Detailed explanation-2: -According to the latest CDC data: About 13% of people with HIV in the U.S. don’t know it and so need testing. Early HIV diagnosis is crucial.
Detailed explanation-3: -The only way to know for sure if you have HIV is to get tested. You can’t rely on symptoms to tell whether you have HIV. Knowing your HIV status gives you powerful information so you can take steps to keep yourself and your partner(s) healthy: If you test positive, you can take medicine to treat HIV.
Detailed explanation-4: -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. That’s why it’s really important to get tested for HIV regularly, especially if you’ve had unprotected sex or shared needles. HIV treatment can help you stay healthy.
