Itching without other information is too general a symptom to diagnose the underlying cause.
But since you ask about HIV infection: It sometimes has no early physical symptoms. When symptoms do occur, they are frequently described as flu-like. A low-grade to spiking fever sometimes alternating with chills. Mild to severe fatigue. A generalized ache throughout the body. Mildly swollen lymph nodes.
Of course, these symptoms could describe the flu. Or a severe cold. Or hepatitis. Or any number of conditions not even remotely associated with HIV.
Now comes the big question: What is the basis for connecting HIV with an itch? Are you at risk for becoming infected with HIV thru unprotected sex, sharing needles, blood transfusions, organ transplantation, or a job-related incident that medical personnel experience?
