The body launches an attack against this virus with the help of CD4 cells which are protecting army of our body. This is the time when a person can feel the symptoms if any and can be termed as early HIV symptoms.

Early HIB symptoms occurs in a person within 2 to 12 weeks. The symptoms occur not less than 2 weeks before and not more than 12 weeks later after the infected date. There is no documented case where a person has been said to be positive if he showed symptoms after 3 months of exposure (considering there was no other exposure). So when the hiv symptoms do occur they last for 2 weeks or less.
