Symptoms of AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome)
AIDS, otherwise known as Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, is the most serious stage of an HIV Disease. Once someone who is infected by HIV has dropped below a T-Cell count of 200, the disease is considered to have gone into it’s AIDS stage. AIDS is a fatal disease, with no cure, and only some treatment options.
Most symptoms of AIDS are related more to the infections that come along with AIDS, rather than from the disease itself. Since the disease itself is a virus that infects the white blood cells and duplicates itself until the virus erupts the white blood cell, spreading itself further throughout the body. By destroying the immune system through the white blood cells, the person afflicted is able to get more diseases and infections and has no way to fight them off.
However, in general, people with AIDS tend to be frequently ill, have fevers or sweats at night, have swollen glands, feel weaknesses, get chills, have severe weight loss, develop a rash, have a sore throat, or other generalized symptoms that do not particularly point at any one cause.
