Most people experience NO symptoms at all after HIV infection. If there are symptoms, they may be mild enough so as to be dismissed or they may be severe enough to warrant hospitalization. They usually present as a "syndrome" . The onset of symptoms usually begins 2-4 weeks after infection (all at once), last 1-2 weeks and go away all at once. This said, the presence or absence of ANY symptoms should NOT be relied upon as evidence of your HIV status. The only way to determine your status is an HIV antibody test 3 months past your last episode of unprotected vaginal or anal sex.
