What Causes Body Pain,nausea During HIV?

Hi my friend who has just been diagnosed HIV positive (two weeks ago) (t count 495), has been suffering from acing body, nausea, and has a temperature of 38.6 for the last two days, could this be related to the hiv directly, or could it be a bug he picked up, should I be concerned

This is more likely to be related to a bug your friend picked up, and not the HIV. The bad infections that occur with HIV don't usually happen until the T cell count is much lower. If the symptoms don't clear up in a few days, he probably should see his doctor. He might have an infection that antibiotics can help.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
