Health Desk. HIV/AIDS is a deadly disease, but it can be controlled with timely detection and treatment. Sadly, its initial symptoms are so common that people ignore them. As a result, the disease gradually weakens the body from within.

1. Constant fever

Recurrent unexplained fever, especially mild but prolonged, can be an early sign of AIDS.

2. Fatigue that doesn’t go away

If you always feel tired, your strength to work is decreasing, do not take it lightly. And get it checked immediately.

3. Rapid weight loss

Sudden weight loss without dieting or exercise is a matter of concern. This is a sign of weakening of the body’s immunity.

4. Frequent infections

If minor infections (like cold, cough, fungal infection) are occurring again and again, it may be a sign that the immune system has weakened.

5. White coating on mouth or tongue

A fungal infection called Candida is common in AIDS patients. If white layer is forming repeatedly in the mouth, it is important to get it checked.

6. Skin rashes or wounds

Frequent rashes, wounds or itching on the skin are also counted among the symptoms of AIDS. Therefore, do not ignore it even by mistake.

7. Night sweats

Sudden excessive sweating during deep sleep and even clothes getting wet can be a hidden sign of AIDS.

Why is timely investigation necessary?

If treatment is started in the early stages of HIV infection, a person can live a long and normal life. But delay can be fatal.

What to do?

If any of the above symptoms persist for a long time, do not panic and go to the nearest health center and get an HIV test done. This test is also available free of cost in many places by the government.
