Detailed explanation-1: -The first symptoms of HIV tend to appear around 2–4 weeks after a person’s exposure to the virus. However, it can sometimes take months to years for any symptoms to appear. Without treatment, HIV can be life threatening.

Detailed explanation-2: -Approximately 1.2 million people in the U.S.a have HIV. About 13 percent of them don’t know it and need testing. HIV continues to have a disproportionate impact on certain populations, particularly racial and ethnic minorities and gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men.
