Signs and symptoms

  • Most people with HIV look and feel healthy for a long time, so you can't tell who has the virus just by looking at them.
  • There is no available vaccine against HIV.
  • There is still no cure for HIV although anti-retroviral drugs have been developed, which mean that some people can stay well for longer. These don't suit everybody.
