Is cfs related to aids?

Not proven: True cfs (chronic fatigue syndrome) is a disorder with no proven cause.Recent scientific studies found an association between some cfs & xmrv - a 'new' virus in the same class as hiv. Xmrv has not been proven to cause cfs. However, many patients with HIV & aids do suffer from long term fatigue.If you have any question about your fatigue it is always a good idea to get an HIV test www.Hivtest.Org.

No: No, chronic fatigue syndrome (cfs) is not related to hiv/aids. While many people with hiv/aids may have chronic fatigue as a symptom, there is no specific scientific relationship between having cfs as a risk factor for developing hiv/aids.
