Strictly speaking, AIDS is not an illness and therefore does not have specific side effects / symptoms - it is a syndrome (a collection of symptoms / illnesses) caused by severe, or late stage, HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) infection.

The range of symptoms experienced by a person who is diagnosed with AIDS can vary from none at all (they simply have a weakened immune system that leaves them vulnerable to a host of opportunistic infections) to depression and any of the symptoms associated with the more than twenty AIDS-defining illnesses. See "What is AIDS?" for a full list of AIDS-defining illnesses.

I'm guessing here... Saw Philadelphia (Tom Hanks) recently and that's the only source I have on the subject.. And that's back when it wasn't fully understood or mainstream aware..

HIV/AIDS attacks the immune system directly. By having the immune system weakened, you are more prone to disease. once your immune system is too weak, you die due to lack of being able to fight off disease.

Not too early, unfortunately. It is better to go for a test, if you feel like.
