Signs of HIV in women that men should be aware

Many women infected with HIV around the world may not recognize the disease’s early signs until extensive organ damage has already occurred. In this article, I will teach you about the symptoms of HIV infection in women according to an article written by Medicalnewstoday.

1. A yeast infection, which can cause painful urination or a white or brown discharge from the privates, is more likely to occur in people who are HIV positive. Consequently, you should schedule annual checkups with your doctor.

2. Menstrual alteration is another early indicator of HIV in women, albeit it also indicates other health problems. You should get an HIV test and treatment from your doctor if you experience a change in the regularity of your period, whether it becomes heavier or lighter according to studies.

3. while loss of appetite can be caused by other health concerns, it is one of the earliest indicators of HIV that should not be disregarded. Infected individuals with HIV have been shown to experience a loss of appetite.

4. Rapid weight loss is another symptom of HIV in women, so if you notice your weight lowering significantly, it’s important to see your doctor for a checkup according to studies.
