<s>[INST] What are the symptoms of HIV? [/INST] The first stage of HIV, known as the primary or acute HIV infection, usually occurs within 6-12 weeks after a person has been infected with HIV. The initial infection usually yields “flu-like” symptoms such as fever, chills, night sweats, and rashes. Some people can actually be infected for years before they ever get the symptoms.
