recent advances in medical science have significantly improved our understanding of HIV/AIDS. During the acute phase of HIV infection, approximately 90% or more of individuals may experience symptoms such as fever, which is often one of the earliest signs of infection. This stage typically occurs within 2 to 4 weeks after exposure and can resemble flu-like symptoms including fatigue, sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, and rash. It's crucial for anyone who believes they might have been exposed to HIV to seek medical attention promptly.

Early diagnosis is vital not only for receiving appropriate treatment but also to prevent further transmission of the virus. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) started early can greatly reduce viral load and improve long-term health outcomes. Moreover, it helps protect others by lowering the risk of spreading the disease.

If you suspect potential exposure or display any related symptoms, don't hesitate to consult healthcare professionals immediately. Regular testing is another effective way to manage your health and ensure peace of mind. Remember, timely intervention makes all the difference! 💪✨
