Within a few weeks of HIV infection, flu-like symptoms such as fever, sore throat and fatigue can occur. Then the disease is usually asymptomatic until it progresses to AIDS. AIDS symptoms include weight loss, fever or night sweats, fatigue and recurrent infections.According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), primary HIV infection symptoms may show up two to four weeks after initial exposure. Symptoms can continue for up to several weeks. However, some people may only exhibit the symptoms for a few days. People with early HIV sometimes don?t show any symptoms, yet are still contagious. This is attributed to the fast, unrestrained viral replication in the early weeks of infection.
