Answer:

HIV may not cause symptoms early on. People who do have symptoms may mistake them for the flu or monoSkin rash.

Symptoms may appear from a few days to several weeks after a person is first infected. The early symptoms usually go away within 2 to 3 weeks.

HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a virus that attacks the immune system

There are two types of HIV:

HIV-1, which causes almost all the cases of AIDS worldwide

HIV-2, which causes an AIDS-like illness. HIV-2 infection is uncommon in North America.
