===The main symptom is the swelling of the lymph nodes. This is more easily noticeable with the nodes situated in the neck because they become visibly enlarged and feel rubbery. Unfortunately, swelling may only occur deep within the body, in which case it is nearly undetectable because it produces no pain or feeling whatsoever. The only way to find it at this stage is via a regular x-ray.===

n the appearance of T-cells. Unfortunately, at advanced stages it can be very difficult to combat.
