| Response from Mr. Kull
 The research shows that the majority of people, anywhere from 70-80%, experience at least one symptom indicative of primary HIV infection. It is possible that some people experience symptoms that go unnoticed and that some don't experience any symptoms at all. Please try to avoid determining your status based on the presence, or absence, of symptoms. Always rely on your doctor to evaluate symptoms, and determine your own risk based on your contact. HIV is only known to be sexually transmitted through vaginal, anal, and, much less frequently, oral sex. RMK | ||||||||
