Stage 1 of HIV infection is characterized by?

  1. Flu-like symptoms

  2. Rashes

  3. No symptoms

  4. Weight loss

The correct answer is: No symptoms

During Stage 1 of HIV infection, the virus is actively replicating and quickly spreading throughout the body. However, the immune system is still able to keep the virus in check, therefore no symptoms are present. Option A, B, and D are all incorrect as they describe symptoms that may be present in later stages of HIV infection. Flu-like symptoms and rashes may occur during Stage 2 and 3, while weight loss is typically seen in the more advanced stages of HIV infection. Therefore, option C is the correct answer as it accurately describes the lack of symptoms during Stage 1.
