The incubation period of HIV (time interval between infection and the starting of the immunodeficiency symptoms) ranges in average from 10 and 15 years.

Acute AIDS is the clinical situation classified by signs and symptoms which might appear in 5 to 30 days after infection by HIV, because of the high replication rate of the virus on this period. Acute AIDS doesn’t always happen and many times it is mistaken for ordinary diseases like the common cold. The patient can present fever, myalgia, malaise (muscle pain) and arthralgia (joint pain), lymphadenomegaly (enlargement of the lymphnodes), sweating and diarrhea. The manifestation frequently lasts as of 3 to 15 days.
