A member asked:
Does later stage hiv/aids usually cause more symptoms than just peripheral neuropathy? i've had a negative hiv home test.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but....: HIV/AIDS and some of the drugs used to treat it can cause a sensory peripheral neuropathy. However, this is not an early symptom. Also, there are many other conditions that can cause peripheral neuropathy. Diabetes is a very common cause. If you have these symptoms, you need to seek medical care to determine why. A negative HIV home test doesn't provide sufficient information.
