what is the sign or symptoms of HIV virus

The signs and symptoms of HIV infection can vary depending on the stage of the virus. Acute HIV infection (occurs 2-4 weeks after infection): Many people have no symptoms or flu-like symptoms such as fever, chills, rash, night sweats, muscle aches, sore throat, fatigue, swollen lymph nodes, or mouth ulcers. Chronic HIV infection (also called asymptomatic HIV infection or clinical latency): During this stage, HIV is still active but reproduces at very low levels. People may not have any symptoms or only mild ones. This stage can last for decades if untreated. AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome): This is the most severe stage of HIV infection. If left untreated, HIV can destroy the immune system. Signs and symptoms can include rapid weight loss, recurring infection, profound and unexplained fatigue, prolonged swelling of the lymph glands, diarrhea that lasts for more than a week, white spots or new lesions on the tongue or in the mouth, pneumonia, red or purplish spots on or under the skin, memory lapses, and depression.
