HIV Symptoms In Men

Many of the HIV symptoms in men can be mistaken for something else, not necessarily an infection with the HIV virus. The reason to this is that the virus does not give any different symptoms that other viruses or diseases give.

The first signs to show are the signs of an infection. Fever, headache, chills and muscle pain. If an infected HIV man goes to the doctor in this state, he could have some cold medicine. Take notice, if you do not have coughing symptoms, runny nose or a mild chest pain (especially if you are a smoker) this is not a cold.

An infection can be just as easily blamed for this, but the flue virus only attacks the airways, thus you should suffer from a series of other symptoms.

Other symptoms which can be easily mistaken for something else and not the HIV symptoms in men is diarrhea. Because you have a fever, swelled glands and diarrhea, the doctor might blame a stomach infection, especially if you ate something bad that day or a day before. However, if nothing out of the ordinary entered your diet, if you do have a high fever, and there is no sign of infection at a laboratory inspection, the cause can be very different.

Fatigue is another symptom in HIV that can be mistaken for stress, exhaustion or chronic fatigue. Accompanied by signs of infection it can mean an early sign of infection with the HIV virus.

Sudden weight loss can also be blamed on something else, like too much stress or a poor diet. But no one can lose a lot of pounds in a month, to become unrecognizable, when having the same poor nutrient diet as before, or because of stress factor.

All the HIV symptoms have to be carefully analyzed and only based upon elimination the doctor will submit a patient showing this signs to an HIV test.
