ACUTE HIV INFECTION

Started antiretroviral treatment with bictegravir–emtricitabine–tenofovir alafenamide.
2/5

#IDtwitter #microbiology
Features of acute HIV infection occur 2–4 weeks after exposure.
Common presentation includes fever, arthralgia and lymphadenopathy, which may mimic acute mononucleosis.

Seroconversion usually occurs 3–8 weeks after initial infection.
3/5

#virology #MedTwitter
Mucocutaneous ulceration is highly suggestive of acute HIV infection.

Rash occurs in about 50% of patients, It is characterized by small, well-circumscribed, erythematous macules or maculopapules, mainly on the anterior chest.
4/5

#MedStudentTwitter #resident #medicine
The diagnosis of acute HIV infection is often missed:
✔️ owing to the asymptomatic or self-limited nature of the virus, nonspecific signs (such as the rash) or ✔️clinician hesitancy to ask questions about sexual exposure.
