HIV Symptoms - Early Signs, Warning Signals

Swollen lymph nodes are another common early symptom. As part of the immune system’s response, lymph nodes in the neck, armpits, or groin may enlarge. This swelling is typically painless but persistent, as the body produces more white blood cells to combat the virus. While swollen lymph nodes can result from various infections, prolonged enlargement should not be ignored. Modern treatments can help maintain immune function.
