HIV is different because it doesn't cause you to have a cough, or fairly visible symptoms, instead it shreds your CD4 count and makes you immunosuppressed. This is why many people can have high viral loads and while themselves and others are not be able to tell that they are sick.
Because it would manifest by them having a higher chance of getting things like lymphadenopathy (hard to detect sometimes), diarrhea (non specific, some people would brush it off), and things like candidal infections (it is natural flora but our immune system keeps it under control, unless you are immunosuppressed)
The other big one is body aches. How many people have chronic body aches? This is why you can technically be having symptoms but not have them be severe enough to catch your attention. - this is what people may call asymptomatic, but the likely reality is that they are not aware of their symptoms bc HIV can be "low key".
