		<p>The symptoms of HIV and AIDS totally vary, depending on the phase of infection going on.</p>
<strong>Phases of HIV:</strong><br>
There are four phases of HIV<br>
<ol>
    <li><strong>Primary Infection (Acute HIV):</strong><br>
Possible signs and symptoms include the following:
<ul>
 	<li>Fever</li>
 	<li>Muscle aches and joint pain</li>
 	<li>Rashes</li>
 	<li>Headache</li>
 	<li>Sore throat and painful mouth sores</li>
 	<li>Swollen lymph glands, mainly on the neck.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<br>
<li><strong>Clinical Latent Infection (Chronic HIV):</strong><br>
In some people, continual swelling of lymph nodes occur during this stage. Otherwise, there are no specific signs or symptoms. HIV remains silently in the body and infected white blood cells.
This stage of HIV infection usually lasts around 10 years if not receiving medication, but sometimes even with this treatment, it lasts for several decades, but some people develop more sever disease much sooner comparatively.</li>
<br>
 	<li><strong> Symptomatic HIV Infection:
</strong><br>
As the virus continues to spread and destroys immune cells, the cells in the body which helps fight off germs becomes weaker and may develop chronic signs or mild infections. Symptoms are as follows:
<ul>
 	<li>Fatigue</li>
 	<li>Fever</li>
 	<li>Diarrhoea</li>
 	<li>Swollen lymph nodes - often one of the first signs of HIV infection</li>
 	<li>Weight loss</li>
 	<li>Shingles (Herpes Zoster)</li>
 	<li>Oral yeast infection (Thrush)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<br> 	<li><strong>Progression to AIDS:</strong><br>
Due to effective treatments, most people with HIV don't develop AIDS. Untreated HIV typically converts into AIDS in many years.
When AIDS happens, immune system becomes severely damaged. Patient will become more prone to develop opportunistic cancers or opportunistic infections.
The symptoms and signs of some of these infections can be:
<ul>
 	<li>Recurring fever</li>
 	<li>Soaking night sweats</li>
 	<li>Chronic Diarrhoea</li>
 	<li>Persistent, unexplained fatigue</li>
 	<li>Persistent white spots or unusual lesions on your tongue or in mouth.</li>
 	<li>Skin rashes or bumps</li>
 	<li>Weight Loss</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
