Wood and colleagues assessed the accuracy of symptoms and signs of early HIV infection in an analysis of data from 16 studies (24 745 adult patients). They found that genital ulcers, weight loss, vomiting, and swollen lymph nodes were associated with early HIV infection; however, these findings had limited utility to detect or rule out HIV infection.
