Fatigue
Sore
Throat
Over time, symptoms may include AIDS rash, night sweats, or swollen glands.

But heads up…
The symptoms of HIV in men and the signs of HIV in women may vary—but the message is the same: listen to your body, and don’t wait to get tested.

The good news: testing is quick, free, and confidential at AHF Jamaica.
