Is virtago a sign of hiv? And if so what stage does it start at?
Brief Answer:
Not a symptom of HIV.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to "Ask a Doctor " service.
I have read your query and here is my advice.
Vertigo is not a symptom of HIV infection or later stages such as AIDS.
In other words, only vertigo doesn't mean that you were infected with HIV.
In the first stage symptoms are flu-like.
If in doubt or if you had unprotected sex then you should get tested ( HIV tests) in order to exclude it.
Discuss with your Doctor for these issues.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Feel free to ask if you have further questions.
