Hello Doctor,
I was recently exposed to HIV, and I'm concerned about what signs or symptoms might appear in the second week after exposure. Could you let me know what to watch for during this time?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
1. In the second week after exposure to HIV, most people remain asymptomatic. However, some individuals may experience mild symptoms such as fever, sore throat, swollen cervical lymph nodes, or rashes.
2. These symptoms are non-specific and can be similar to other viral infections. If you've had potential exposure and are experiencing any of these symptoms, or if you're at risk, I recommend seeing a doctor for further evaluation and testing.
Thanks
