Nkosi Johnson health: Remembering the child campaigner who helped raise awareness of AIDS

What are the symptoms of HIV?

“Most people experience a short flu-like illness two to six weeks after HIV infection, which lasts for a week or two.

“After these symptoms disappear, HIV may not cause any symptoms for many years, although the virus continues to damage your immune system.

“This means many people with HIV do not know they’re infected.

“HIV is found in the body fluids of an infected person.

“This includes semen, vaginal and anal fluids, blood and breast milk.”
