Typical symptoms of AIDS?

It usually occurs in 2-4 weeks after the initial infection of HIV, and some infected people have clinical symptoms caused by HIV viremia and acute damage of immune system. The clinical symptoms of most patients were mild, lasting for 1-3 weeks and then relieved.

Fever is the most common clinical manifestation, accompanied by general discomfort, headache, night sweats, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, sore throat, myalgia, arthralgia, rash, lymphadenopathy and nervous system symptoms. HIV RNA and p24 antigen could be detected in serum of this stage. HIV antibody did not appear until a few weeks after infection. The ratio of CD4 / CD8 is inversed. Some patients may have mild leukopenia and / or thrombocytopenia or abnormal liver function.

It can enter this phase from acute phase, or directly enter this phase without obvious symptoms of acute phase. The duration of this period is generally 6-8 years, which is related to the number, type, route of infection, individual differences in immune status, nutrition and health conditions, living habits and other factors. At this stage, due to the continuous replication of HIV in infected people, the CD4 + T lymphocyte count gradually decreased, which is infectious.
