Does early HIV cause runny nose cold?
No. Early HIV may cause a fever, little red bumps appearing very suddenly on your chest, or no symptoms at all. HIV is one of the few STDs that doesn’t cause burining while urinating. You can not get HIV from GIVING blood, if the people who took the blood knew what they were doing. Putting a bandaid on you couldn’t give you HIV. When a bandaid is properly applied you do not touch the cotton pad in the center, which is the only part of the bandaid that touches the wound. The wound produced by drawing blood often seals up in a minute or so. While it is bleeding, the flow of blood is pushing stuff out, so HIV is unlikely to flow in. This is sort of stereotyping, but I doubt many elderly women engage in the kinds of behaviors that are likely to give them HIV, and if she was giving blood that elderly lady at least thought she was HIV free.
