HIV is human immunodeficiency virus and is a sexually transmitted disease.

Symptoms include:
Abdominal pain, throat pain, coughing, fever, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, ulcers, sores
HIV will go through different stages until it reaches AIDS level.

I would recommend googling for a longer list of symptoms and linked disorders.

Hey there!

HIV is a virus and it can be transmitted through contact with infected blood, semen, or vaginal fluids. It's a pretty rare diease.

Within a few weeks of HIV infection, flu-like symptoms such as fever, sore throat, and fatigue can occur.

If the diease gets serious, it can cause weight loss, fever or night sweats, etc...

Hope this helps you!

Hugs!
