What are the earliest symptoms of hiv?

HIV symptoms: fever, body aches, lymph node swelling can occur after primary infection (few weeks) - eventually weight loss and unusual infections would be typical if untreated.

Ignore symptoms: Sometimes sore throat, fever, skin rash, oral ulcers, swollen lymph nodes, but these usually are due to other minor viruses, and half of infected people have no symptoms at all. The first symptom may be a life-threatening illness of AIDS many years later. So ignore symptoms. If concerned you might have HIV or exposed, you must get tested. Whether or not you have symptoms makes no difference.
