Roughly 1.1 million people, in the U.S., are living with HIV. Out of those people, nearly 1 in 7 of these people are unaware they have HIV. Detection is key to stopping the spread.

Some people infected by HIV develop a flu-like illness within two to four weeks after the virus enters the body. This may last for a few weeks. Possible signs and symptoms include:
-Fever/Night sweats
-Headache/Muscle aches and joint pain
-Rash
-Sore throat and painful mouth sores/Cough
-Diarrhea/Weight loss
These symptoms can be so mild that you might not even notice them. However, the amount of virus in your bloodstream is high at this time, causing the infection to spread more easily during primary infection than during the next stage.
