What are the symptoms of HIV in women?

Symptoms that could attend to as advice signals of HIV infection may go ignored because many women do not perceive themselves at danger. Symptoms include recurrent yeast infections (vaginal candidiasis), pelvic inflaming disease, abnormal changes or dyspepsia (growth and presence of precancerous cells) in cervical tissue, genital ulcers, genital warts, and severe mucosa herpes infections may also accompany HIV infection in women.

It is possible for a personally infected with HIV to show no signs of infection. For women, the most common symptoms of exposure to the HIV virus are frequent or severe vaginal infections, abnormal PAP smears or pelvic infections (PID) that are hard to manage.

Within a few weeks of having been infected, many people have flu-like symptoms. However, in some cases, symptoms do not show for many years. As the infection progresses, some symptoms can include: swollen lymph glands in the neck, underarm, or groin area, recurrent fever including "night sweats," rapid weight loss for no apparent reason, constant tiredness, diarrhea and decreased appetite, snowy spots or untypical blemishes in the way out.
