Im pretty sure the general symptoms are: flu-like symptoms, fatigue, bruises on the body as well as inside the mouth, feeling nauseous or vomiting...it would be hard to be sure because alot of the symptoms are similar to a stomach flu or other common illness.

Does early HIV symptoms occur the same time?

I am not sure exactly what you are asking, but I am going to answer this to the best of my knowledge. HIV progresses in stages through the body. About 7-10 days after an HIV infection occurs, a person may have flu-like symptoms. These symptoms can present themselves strongly (fever, feeling achy, congestion, ) or they may present mildly (fatigue, headache, PMS symptoms). This is the acute or first stage of HIV. From the time someone contracts HIV, it can take anywhere from 3-6 months to show up on a test. This is because HIV tests test for HIV antibodies in the system, not for the virus itself. There is a 95% chance that one would test positive 3 months after infection and there is a 100% chance someone would test positive 6 months after infection. To ensure that an HIV test is accurate, one would have to wait 6 months from the time one put themselves at risk for HIV. HIV is transmitted through blood, semen (pre cum as well), vaginal fluid and breast milk. Therefore, HIV can be transmitted by engaging in unprotected anal, vaginal or oral sex, sharing needles or by an HIV positive mother breast feeding her child.
