acute hiv symptoms cough
Are these acute signs of HIV? 10pts best answer!?
It’s possible that I could have been exposed to an HIV in May. But, recently signs have been around that could prove it.
Some symptoms are:
1- I cut my leg a few months ago (not that badly) and it took 2 months to heal, meanwhile it usually takes a week or two. and there is still a scar/bruise.
2- Recently I have been getting sick (a cold) that lasts a few days. But, I eat extremely healthy and I haven’t been sick since 2007.
3- A week ago I started getting a rash on my thighs that looks like razor burn (red marks with puss in them) and they itch. They turn into scabs.
4- Also, the past few weeks I have started getting night sweats. I’ve never had night sweats in my life. My room is always cool, and I wear shorts and short sleeves to bed.
5- I also, recently have a dry cough that doesn’t go away.
Help! Are these signs of HIV?
Thanks 10tpts best answer!
Ok not all BA’s get 10 points so here is my answer…
there is a free test which you can take at the health department clinic it takes 10-20 minutes and you will know for sure. If you had unprotected sex then it is a great possibility that could have gotten HIV.
The only sure way to know is to be tested.

Infection symptoms and treatment
Infection
An infection is said to have occurred when foreign organism of different species form colonies within the host body. The infection causing organism uses host body resources to grow, multiply and reproduce. It interferes with normal functioning of the human body in many ways. The organisms causing infection are called pathogens. A pathogen could be a parasite, fungus, virus, protozoa, bacteria or worms. Medication used can broadly be classified into 4 categories, antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and antitubercular. Our immune system produces antibodies to fight these infections. Symptoms like inflammation, redness of skin, itch, pain, fever, etc. are signs of infection.
Symptoms and Tests to determine the infection
A pathologist may take sample of fluids from the body part that is suspect to be infected. They produce cultures of the sample in laboratory and study it to determine the kind of infection. It is important to figure out the type of infection as anti bacterial medication will not help fight against viruses and vice versa. Samples of blood, urine, sputum or stools can be taken and tested to check for the cause of infection. An x-ray could also be done and if infection in brain is suspected, testing the samples of fluid from spinal cord may be taken
Symptoms like extreme tiresomeness, fatigue, continued weight loss, fever, night sweats or chills, body pains, inflammation, skin rashes, sore throat, redness of eyes, shivering, etc. are some of the prominent symptoms of an infection. Viral infection can be indicated by running nose, sinus, congestion, cough and body aches. In viral infection a particular system like respiratory, digestive etc. is infected. In case of bacterial infection a body part is infected. Local pain in a particular body part, puss or milky fluid, etc. is symptoms of bacterial infection. Infections could be seasonal. Further tests can be done to determine the type of infection and then can be treated accordingly.
Some time an infection may not show any signs or symptoms. Such infections are termed as asymptomatic or occult infections.

Some of the diseased caused due to viral, bacterial or protozoan infection are AIDS, Anthrax, Bacterial Vaginosis, Bird Flu (Avian Flu, Avian Influenza), Bocavirus Infection, Botulism, Brucellosis, Bartonella henselae Infection, Varicella, Cholera, Chronic Bronchitis, Chronic Cough, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), Clostridium difficile Colitis, Cold, Flu, Coxsackie Virus Infection, Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, Cryptococcus Infection, Diarrhea, Diphtheria, Encephalitis and Meningitis, Enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC), Fifth Disease (Parvovirus), Flu (Influenza), Food Poisoning, Fungal Nails (Onychomycosis), Gastroenteritis (Viral Gastroenteritis, “Stomach Flu”), German Measles (Rubella), Giardiasis, Hand, Foot and Mouth Syndrome, Hemorrhagic Fever, Hepatitis B (HBV), Hepatitis C, Herpes Simplex Infections, Herpes Viruses and the Eyes, Histoplasmosis, HIV infection, Infectious Mononucleosis, Adenovirus, Laryngitis, Legionellosis, Leptospirosis, Malaria, Measles, Medical Shock, Microcephaly, Microsporidiosis, Middle Ear Infection or Inflammation, Monkeypox, Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection, Mumps, Mycobacterium marinum, Naegleria Infection, Nausea, Vomiting, and Antiemetics, Necrotizing Fasciitis, Neutropenia, Norovirus Infection, Osteomyelitis, Pinworm Infection, Plague, Pneumococcal Pneumonia, Pneumonia, Polio, Rabies, Respiratory Syncytial Virus, Rheumatic Fever, Rotavirus Infection, Salmonella, Scabies, Schistosomiasis, Sepsis, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), Sexually Transmitted Diseases, Swine Flu (H1N1), Tetanus (Lockjaw), Thrush, Tuberculosis (TB), Tularemia, Typhoid Fever, Vaginal Yeast Infection, Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci (VRE), Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (vCJD), Viral Hemorrhagic Fever, West Nile Virus, Whooping Cough (Pertussis) and Yaws
