Symptoms of Aids
1. In the initial stages of infection, many of those infected do not show any symptoms of the disease and are called carriers.
2. After some times, the HIV infected person shows various symptoms including fever, weight loss, recurring bouts of diarrhea, persistent cough, fatigue, candidiasis infection in the mouth and pharynx and swollen lymph nodes.
3. Eventually, the infected person contracts pneumonia (lung inflammation), Kaposi’s sarcoma (skin cancer) and lymphoma (cancer of the lymphatic system).
4. The person is also likely to face mental disturbances as well as disruptions of the nervous system as a result of the infected nerve cells.
5. After five years, approximately 20% of carriers develop full blown AIDS and death occurs within the next two years.
