Rep Power: 204 | Symptoms of AIDS AIDS can be an extremely deceptive disease.Many infected people experience no symptoms at all, till the disease has reached a very advanced stage.When people do experience symptoms, some of the more common ones are stomachaches, headaches, fever and rashes over the skin. A major problem is that the HIV can remain undetected in a persons body for long periods of time.So, during these periods, any form of testing for HIV will not throw up any conclusive results. It is only when the immune system starts manufacturing antibodies to combat the HIV infection that an infected person will test positive for AIDS.Therefore, it is not the HIV that the test detects, but the antibodies that the body's immune system secretes, in response to this attack on it. | |
