  1. Smoking is dangerous for men and women both. Although HIV symptoms in women may not always be present in the very early stages they most commonly show in ways that may not be directly associated with the HIV virus. In many cases the symptoms that present themselves a short time after exposure to the HIV virus are so subtle that they are not immediately detected. Some of the most common symptoms that may be exhibited in this early stage of infection may include abnormal pap smear exams, recurring or extreme vaginal infections and difficult to treat infections of the pelvis region also known as PID or pelvic inflammatory disease.
