Shortly after being infected with HIV the affected person may develop an acute illness with flu-like symptoms. These symptoms subside after a few days, however, replication of the virus continues insidiously and unnoticed. Even though the infected person may feel well, the virus has commenced its drawn-out battle with the immune system and is spreading further and further throughout the body. Because of this, the disease often remains undiagnosed until it has reached an advanced stage. |
