First 10 Signs of HIV in Men: When Do Symptoms Start? Early HIV infection, often called Acute Retroviral Syndrome (ARS), typically appears within 2 to 4 weeks after exposure. In Week 1, most men remain asymptomatic, though the virus is rapidly replicating. By Weeks 2 to 4, the body’s immune system reacts, often causing a "flu-like" illness.  Common early symptoms include persistent fever, fatigue, and swollen lymph nodes (especially in the neck and groin). A non-itchy skin rash often appears on the trunk or face. Other signs include a sore throat, muscle aches, night sweats, and mouth or genital ulcers. Some men also experience digestive issues like diarrhea or nausea.
