HIV & AIDS - Signs & Symptoms

The only way to determine if a patient is infected is for them to get an HIV test. You can't rely on symptoms to know whether or not he/she is infected with HIV. Many people who are infected with HIV don't have any symptoms at all for many years.

Similarly, you can't rely on symptoms to establish that a person has AIDS. The symptoms associated with AIDS are similar to the symptoms of many other diseases. AIDS is a diagnosis made by a doctor based on specific criteria established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
