What are the symptoms of HIV AIDS?

Font size: Decrease font Enlarge font

HIV and AIDS are connected with many physical and expressive problems. There are different signs and symptoms of HIV. Such as

1) Depression
Everybody has had days where they were feeling a little "blue". We all have been "down in the dumps", when these thoughts last longer than a couple weeks you may be afflicting from hopelessness.

2. Weight Loss
Common problem in HIV and AIDS is the loss of weight. Except you are actively trying to lose weight by exercising and studying what you eat, in HIV and AIDs weight loss is a serious trouble.

3) Thrush
If the bad taste and white covering does not go with a simple brushing then you may have the most common HIV opportunistic problems known as thrush.

4) Lip dystrophy
People contaminated with HIV are living longer and more industrious lives. A large part of the reason is the beginning of drug combinations into typical HIV care. One such trouble is fat reorganization condition or lip dystrophy.

5) Lactic Acidosis
This rising problem can make you sick, unhappy, and can even be deadly.

6) Nausea / Vomiting
Vomiting is not only irritating and can make you feel unwell and pale, when connected with vomiting it can be hazardous and unsafe.

7) Diarrhea
Diarrhea can be a life frightening problem if not treated properly and quickly.

This comment is for women who are positve. We are more prone to yeast infections and the affects from your period can be more severe especially the emotional part. This is from experiance not from study results I haven't seen much on women in the HIV world.

With so much fraud exposed in our economy (nearly half of the market was actually fraud we now know), people might be ready to accept the POSSIBLITY that the lust of money is a motivation for the mis-leading marketing in big industry which has molded our perception of "issues" that are way above our intellectual understanding. Being medicated is a vicious cycle and literally hell on Earth.

Those symptoms are either vague and nonspecific or the acknowledged effects of the meds. I've had oral thrush, but I've never tested positive. I was under a lot of stress at the time. Lip dystrophy and lactic acidosis have nothing to do with your immune system at all, they are caused by the meds. The manufacturers include them in their (long) lists of side effects.

Well said MKATF,

In the Third World, under the Bengui Definition (WHO/CDC), 'AIDS' fits the symptoms of every old epidemic disease in the region.

'AIDS' is the same old diseases renamed and given a vast new profit potential. Yes, people die but no more than before 'AIDS'.

The mortality rate from non natural causes has NOT increased in South Africa since before 'AIDS' (2.2% PA).

Either every other epidemic diseases vanished overnight or 'AIDS' is the same diseases renamed.
