 The acute infection syndrome of HIV is usually manifested by fever, headache, swollen glands, rash on the back and chest and other flu-like symptoms. These are usually transient, lasting a few days to a couple of weeks. Some patients can have symptoms for weeks to months after acute infection. Those patients usually don't have symptoms as severe as when they were first infected. MH | ||||||||
