What are the symptoms of AIDS

summary

If men are infected with AIDS, they will generally have some symptoms within 2 weeks. These symptoms are the response caused by the stimulation of the body after the HIV invades the human body. After the acute infection period, they will enter the incubation period. The male infected in the incubation period can not have any clinical symptoms, but the incubation period is not a static period, let alone a safe period. The virus is continuously reproducing and has the potential to spread Strong destructive effect. What are the symptoms of AIDS.

What are the symptoms of AIDS

First: there are generally these symptoms: fever, rash, lymphadenopathy, fatigue, sweating, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, pharyngitis, etc. Some also appear acute aseptic meningitis, headache, neurological symptoms and meningeal irritation. At the stage of acute infection, the symptoms are often mild and easy to be ignored.

Second, the incubation period of early symptoms of AIDS starts from the time of infection. Before the emergence of mixed therapy with new drugs, the average incubation period is as long as five to ten years. It varies according to the degree of self-care, but it may be longer. In other words, during this period, the infected people will not only have no symptoms, but also can live and work like ordinary people. Until the body's immune system is completely destroyed by HIV collapse, due to the loss of resistance, opportunistic infection, resulting in the onset of disease. The incubation period of children is short, about one year on average.

Third: the virus into the human body will produce antibodies, the current test is based on the detection of antibodies. However, at this time, due to insufficient antibody concentration, it is impossible to test the correct results. It must wait for a period of time before it can be tested. This period of time is the empty window period. For the vast majority of people, the length of the empty window period is subject to three months. In other words, if you have dangerous sex on December 1, the empty window period will begin to count. In other words, the effective test date should be March 1. There is also a necessary condition for the initial symptoms of AIDS, that is, during the three months, there can be no other dangerous sexual behavior, otherwise it must be recalculated.

matters needing attention

There are also some male AIDS patients who have no obvious symptoms at the initial stage and can't be detected at all. Therefore, it's not very scientific to judge whether they are infected with AIDS according to these symptoms. The correct way is to go to the hospital and CDC for examination, or use the test paper for preliminary screening. After the preliminary screening, they will be rechecked.
