Hello doctor, i like to know what are early signs of hiv. previously i screened in march last year and it was negative. dose it mean am free it.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HIV: Hiv usually has no early signs or symptoms. If a person does get sick it is usually about fourteen to twenty-zone days after exposure and is a flu-like illness. Test validity depends on when the test was done in relation to when the exposure was.
