Initial symptoms of AIDS

summary

AIDS is a very harmful infectious disease, caused by HIV infection. HIV is a virus that attacks the body's immune system. It takes the most important T lymphocytes in the human immune system as the main target, destroys a large number of these cells, and makes the human body lose its immune function. Therefore, the human body is easy to be infected with various diseases, and can develop malignant tumors, with high mortality. The average incubation period of HIV in human body is 8-9 years. Before suffering from AIDS, people can live and work for many years without any symptoms. Early symptoms of AIDS? Let's talk about it.

Within a few weeks (4-8 weeks) of HIV infection, women may have some early symptoms of acute female AIDS, such as lymphadenopathy, rash, night sweats, headache, cough, etc., some of which are similar to common cold. People with high-risk behaviors can be highly suspected of having HIV infection if they have the following initial symptoms of female AIDS, such as long-term low fever, chronic diarrhea, weight loss, cough, night sweats, etc.

General female AIDS early stage will continue extensive lymph node enlargement, especially neck, axillary and inguinal lymph nodes. Lymphadenectasis is about 1 cm in diameter, hard, painless and movable, lasting more than three months. A considerable number of people infected with HIV can be as long as 10 years without any obvious symptoms. But its body fluid still contains virus. If dangerous sexual activities occur during this period, the virus will be transmitted to sexual partners. So without symptoms, you don't have to be uninfected. In particular, the initial symptoms of AIDS in women are easy to ignore.
