Becky Kuhn, MD co-founder of GLobal Lifeworks, covers critical basic information about HIV and AIDS. HIV is a virus that causes the sisease AIDS, which can be fatal. THere are treatments but no cure. HIV is spread by contact between body fluids (blood, semen, vaginal fluids and breast milk) and mucous membranes (eyes, nose, mouth, and genitals). It is spread by sexual contact, injection drugs, from mother to child during childbirth, or nursing, and (early in epidemic) blood transfusions.
It is sometimes possible to recognize when you have recently contracted HIV from signs and symptoms. Between 40-90% of individuals will have symptoms. These symptoms usually occur in the first few weeks or months after a person becomes infected. The most common symptoms include: rash, fever, malaise (weakness), discomfort, loss of apetite weight loss, sore throat, sores in the mouth, joint ache, swollen lymph nodes, diarrhea, fatigue, night sweats, nausea, vomiting, and headache.
