Window symptoms of HIV infection?

The window period for HIV infection is generally 2 to 6 weeks, up to three months. In this period of time, the number of HIV in infected people will reach a peak at this time, the infectious is very strong, and the acute infection period also appears in this period of time. During this period, some infected people will have some symptoms, such as fever, sore throat, night sweats, joint pain, lymphadenopathy, rash and hepatosplenomegaly. These symptoms last about 2-4 weeks and then enter the asymptomatic period. But not all people will have obvious acute infection, the incidence rate is about 50-75%. Because HIV infection has no typical predictive symptoms, any symptoms can not be judged as AIDS.

The correct way to judge whether to be infected with HIV is to go to the Centers for Disease Control and prevention of various counties and cities for HIV antibody testing six weeks after high-risk behavior or blood transfusion. If the first test is negative, usually the doctor will recommend you to check again after two or three months to make sure it is negative. If three months later found out to be negative, you can basically rest assured not to be infected.

The fundamental way to prevent AIDS is to keep one's body clean and abide by the couple's morality. Conduct safe conjugal behavior and use condom correctly every time conjugal behavior occurs. Timely and standardized treatment of X disease can greatly reduce the possibility of HIV infection. Avoid unnecessary blood transfusion and injection, and ensure that the utensils are strictly disinfected when penetrating the skin.
