The early symptoms of HIV infection resemble the flu in about 70 of infected individuals (there are no noticeable symptoms in the remaining 30). These symptoms occur because the HIV present in the bloodstream is destroying large numbers of T4 cells, thus interfering with normal immune responses. Most people infected with HIV begin to control the virus within six to 12 weeks, and therefore recover from these flu-like symptoms. This seeming recovery from the infection is due to the actions of the immune system.
