Rash and mouth sores
It may be hard to differentiate the initial symptoms of HIV from the flu or mono. If symptoms are accompanied by rashes and mouth sores, that s usually an indication that the cause is more likely an early stage of HIV than the common flu.
Important: You can only contract HIV by coming in contact with the bodily fluids such as blood, vaginal fluids, semen and pre-seminal fluid, rectal fluids, and breast milk of an HIV-positive person. The transmission happens via contact through open wounds, direct injection, or a mucous membrane (mouth, vagina, tip of the penis, or rectum).
