Question 1

can a hiv rash appear without fever or the other hiv symptoms? thank you

Accepted Answer

Yes: The short answer to your question is yes.  You may develop a fever without any other symptom.  There may be no symptoms at all.

Question 2

can saliva transmit hiv? is cold and fever symptoms of hiv?

Accepted Answer

Usually not: Saliva needs to be contaminated with blood in order to transmit hiv. Hiv virus is not found in saliva.
Cold and fever symptoms may be the initial signs of hiv, but are usually passed off as another viral infection.

Question 3

is stomach cramps and low grade fever alone really early hiv symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Nonspecific: Those symptoms are nonspecific and are commonly seen in a viral intestinal tract infection. Treatment consists of resting, drinking adequate fluids and if diarrhea develops and becomes severe take kaopectate or imodium. Symptoms should gradually improve.  If you're concerned about an STD see your physician to get checked.

Question 4

hiv symptoms, without fever. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Great mimic: Hiv infection can produce pretty much every symptom, physical and mental. Everybody should be concerned about hiv, and if you're symptomatic you should be concerned about being serious sick, period. It's time to get with your physician; in the usa, folks are routinely offered a cheap, accurate HIV screen simply on walking into the doctor's office. Go for it.

Question 5

can persistent headache and nape pain  (without having fever) for 6 months be symptoms of hiv ?

Accepted Answer

Get tested: What you described is not a usual feature of HIV. However, if you have any doubt, get a blood test for HIV nucleic acid. 
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Can be anything: Chills suggest the presence of a systemic infection but one cannot tell the cause without an exam and likely some blood tests.  Consult your doctor.

Question 7

is it safe to say you do not have hiv if you tested negative at 1 month and 4 months using 4th generation test? even if you have fever, sore throat, sneezing, coughing, or any other symptom, its safe to say its something else and not hiv? thanks?

Accepted Answer

: Multiple repeats of the same or similar questions, forum abuse. Please stop. See previous replies.

Question 8

can a primary hiv rash occure as 3-4 pimples on the back, without fever or other symptoms? thank you

Accepted Answer

Probably not: The rash with HIV tends to be red and flat or a bit raised. People have other flu like symptoms as well. Pimples are probably just pimples. If lots more emerge on only one side of the body in a strip this could be shingles. If the same cluster always comes back in the same place, this could be an unusual location for herpes simplex.

Question 9

are hiv symptoms possible just four days after possible exposure . and just last for just 1 day? symptoms were vomiting , fever , diarrhoea. thankyou

Accepted Answer

Not possible: Acute HIV symptoms cannot start sooner than 7-10 days after exposure and never would clear up in under 1-2 weeks. Sounds like you had a garden variety viral gastroenteritis like norovirus. If your partner 4 days earlier had it or was a carrier, you could have caught it from him or her. But for sure this isn't HIV or any other standard STD.

Question 10

hiv from shering a dringing straw if ther is blood on the straw? if acute hiv symptoms appear. can the rash appear 3 weeks after the fever hase gone? pleas answer?

Accepted Answer

: HIV can be communicated via blood from another individual being in contact with a mucus membrane, such as the lining of the mouth.   Obtain an HIV test to be certain.
