Symptoms of HIV joint pain

After contracting AIDS, there are many symptoms. If we only look at joint pain, it often leads to multiple symptoms, such as reactive arthritis, painful joint syndrome, etc. These are the more common symptoms of joint pain in AIDS. In addition to these symptoms, other common problems include low fever, skin rashes, etc. Let us briefly understand this aspect.

Symptoms of HIV joint pain

1. Reactive arthritis, such as Reiter syndrome and psoriatic arthritis.

2. Painful joint syndrome mainly affects the knee, elbow and shoulder joints. The pain lasts for 2-24 hours and sometimes requires the use of anesthetics to relieve it.

3. AIDS-related arthritis is common in large joints such as the knees and ankles. No abnormalities were found in X-rays, and intra-articular injection of hormones can quickly improve symptoms.

4. AIDS opportunistic infection. Joint infections in HIV/AIDS patients are often caused by Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus, and Salmonella. . The longer an AIDS patient survives, the greater the chance of infection with mycobacteria, fungi, and rare opportunistic pathogens.

Early symptoms of AIDS

AIDS is an extremely harmful infectious disease caused by infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). It destroys a large number of T lymphocytes in the human immune system, causing serious defects in the human body's cellular immune function, leading to stubborn conditional infections, malignant tumors and nervous system damage, and a high mortality rate. The average incubation period of HIV in the human body is 8 to 9 years. Before contracting AIDS, people can live and work for many years without any symptoms. Early detection of AIDS is conducive to the spread and treatment of AIDS. So what are the early symptoms of AIDS?

1. Diarrhea: It usually manifests as chronic diarrhea, and it is unexplained and difficult to treat. It is one of the symptoms of AIDS. Diarrhea often leads to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance.

2. Oral ulcers: Mainly caused by Candida albicans, it is the most common oral manifestation of AIDS.

3. Low fever: Fever is persistent, and the temperature generally remains between 37.3 and 38 degrees Celsius. It is one of the most common symptoms of AIDS. Most patients will experience fever symptoms at some stage in the entire process from HIV infection to onset, accompanied by other symptoms.

4. Lymph nodes: Lymph node enlargement is one of the most common early symptoms of AIDS and is a non-specific manifestation.

5. Nausea and vomiting: If you have engaged in high-risk behavior and experience nausea and vomiting within a few days, this symptom not only makes you feel uncomfortable, it may also be a dangerous signal.

6. Weight: If you experience rapid weight loss after engaging in high-risk behavior, it means that you may be infected with HIV. It is recommended that you undergo an HIV test if you have engaged in high-risk behavior and have lost more than 10% of your weight.
