Feeling low in energy or waking up drenched in sweat? While these symptoms relate to many common illnesses, they can also signal something more serious—especially if they persist for several weeks or are joined by weight loss or swollen glands.

HIV attacks the immune system, your body’s defence against infections. This triggers an immune response: often tiredness, fevers, or night sweats. Your body works harder, raising your body temperature and burning energy, leading to these classic flu-like signs.

If you’re worried, remember: early detection means better health outcomes and peace of mind.
Order your HIV home blood test kit online now, or book a private test in person at Mayfield Clinic. Discreet, fast, and reliable—giving you clarity, quickly.
In the UK, rates of new HIV diagnoses have decreased but remain a concern, particularly among certain populations. Early, regular testing is key to protecting your health and that of your partners.

There are many support services both online and locally. Mayfield Clinic GPs can help you find the right specialists and support if you have concerns or test positive.
