Some people with HIV develop symptoms which can be like those of many other conditions:

• Chronic yeast infections in the vagina, in the ears, on the tongue
• Frequently tired
• Diarrhea
• Dramatic weight loss
• Swollen lymph glands on the neck and in the armpits
• Sweating a lot while you sleep
• Fever that won't go away

Such symptoms are often caused by common illnesses and not by HIV infection. If you have concerns about these symptoms, you should check with a doctor or health care practitioner.
