Question 1 of 5
A nurse is presenting a community-based program about HIV and AIDS. A client asks the nurse to describe the initial symptoms experienced with HIV infection. Which manifestation(s) should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Flu-like symptoms and night sweats are common initial manifestations of acute HIV infection, often occurring within 2-4 weeks after exposure. Fungal and bacterial infections can occur later as the immune system becomes compromised, but they are not initial symptoms of HIV infection. Kaposi's sarcoma is a type of cancer associated with advanced HIV/AIDS and not an initial symptom of infection. Pneumocystis lung infection typically occurs later in the course of HIV disease when the immune system is severely weakened, not during the initial infection stage.
