HIV is a retrovirus which attacks on immune system. The initial condition associated with HIV infection is flu-like symptoms with rash, decrease in platelets, elevated ESR, increase in CD8 + T-cells, and CD4 + T-cell count is greater than 400 per µl. CD4 + T-cell count less than 200 per µl is AIDS.

Seroconversion that is development of detectable specific antibodies to HIV in the blood serum as a result of infection usually occur within 1-3 months. Thus, flu-like condition with rash is associated with initial condition of HIV infection.

The correct answer is flu-like symptoms with rash seroconversion within three to six days.

Within the initial weeks of HIV infection, various individuals develop certain flu-like signs and a rash. This process is called seroconversion, and it takes place as the body generates HIV antibodies. The seroconversion illness can also result in fever and inflamed lymph nodes.
