National Minority AIDS Council The 2013 United States Conference on AIDS (USCA), held September 8-11, 2013, at the Hyatt Regency, in New Orleans, LA was a major success. For nearly two decades, USCA has sought “to increase the strength and diversity of the community-based response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic through education, training, new partnerships, collaboration and networking. This year, USCA was able to highlight how the Affordable Care Act is bringing us closer to ending the epidemic, while focusing on the challenges we still have to overcome to achieve this vision. USCA is the largest AIDS-related gathering in the U.S., bringing together over thousands of workers from all fronts of the HIV/AIDS epidemic—from case managers and physicians, to public health workers and advocates, people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHAs) and policy-makers—to build national support networks, exchange the latest information and learn cutting-edge tools to address the challenges of HIV/AIDS.

HIVaware.org.uk - Facts & Myths - FAQs & Myths What are the symptoms of early HIV infection? The most common symptoms of early HIV infection, usually occurring around ten days after infection, are fever, rash and severe sore throat all occurring together. This combination of symptoms is unusual in healthy people and indicates the need for an HIV test. 70-90% of people experience symptoms of early HIV infection but some do not experience any. After two-three weeks these symptoms disappear, and someone with HIV may then live for many years without any further symptoms or indicators that they are HIV positive. What should I do if I experience symptoms of early HIV infection? If you experience the symptoms of early HIV infection — fever, rash and severe sore throat occurring at the same time — then you should get an HIV test as soon as possible. Are there any other symptoms of HIV infection? There are four stages of HIV infection. How is HIV passed on? Can you get HIV from oral sex? How can I protect myself and others from HIV infection?
