Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -It’s estimated up to 80% of people who are infected with HIV experience this flu-like illness. The most common symptoms are: raised temperature (fever) sore throat.
Detailed explanation-2: -Therefore, unprotected sex with an HIV-positive person who has acute HIV infection could carry a transmission risk of up to 2% (the equivalent of 1 transmission per 50 exposures) for receptive vaginal sex and over 20% (equivalent to 1 transmission per 5 exposures) for receptive anal sex.
Detailed explanation-3: -The risk of HIV transmission during acute infection is about 7.25 times the risk during the middle stage of HIV disease among heterosexual men and women.
