HIV Symptoms in Men: A Comprehensive Guide
10. Neuropathy
HIV can also affect the sensory, motor, or thoracic nerves of the neurological systems. Symptoms include numbness or pain in the hands and feet or other unusual sensations. In some cases, even a light touch can cause pain. As it progresses, neuropathy may cause weakness in the hands and feet as well. If the neuropathy affects the cranial nerves, it can lead to lack of motor function in the face. In some cases, anti-HIV medications can cause neuropathy as well.
