Primeros Sintomas de VIH
Apr 6, 2008

Quisiera saber si es posible desarrollar los sintomas del VIH de catarro y dolor de garganta tan pronto se infecta , es decir a unas cuantas horas, pregunto porque al tener una relación sexual de alto riesgo, sufrí después de 12 horas un catarro y dolor de gargante que duro una semana, ¿Existe la posibilidad como un caso poco común? gracias por su tiempo

Respuesta del Dr. Natterstad

Hola,

En primer lugar, ". . . catarro y dolor de garganta . . ." no constituyen una serie de síntomas indicia de una infección aguda por VIH. En segunda lugar, no, no es posible desarrollar los síntomas de una infección aguda "a unas cuantas horas." Típicamente desarrollan dentro de las primeras 3 a 6 semanas. Te doy luz verde.

Mucha suerte y un abrazo.

Dr. Steve
