How long is the longest incubation period of AIDS? Revealing the incubation period of six major sexually transmitted diseases

Now people are more and more open-minded about sex, and even have multiple sexual partners. A little carelessness may lead to sexually transmitted diseases. The most common sexually transmitted diseases are condyloma acuminatum, syphilis, genital herpes, gonorrhea and AIDS. After contracting a sexually transmitted disease, there may not be immediate symptoms, but there may be a period of incubation.

How long is the incubation period for sexually transmitted diseases?

1. Genital herpes

Genital herpes has a latent period of 3-5 days, and the affected area initially has a burning sensation and long erythema. In just a few days, clusters of small blisters will appear on the surface of the erythema, and after a few days, small pus blisters will appear. After the rupture of pustules, shallow ulcers or erosive surfaces can form, with local redness and swelling, and intense burning like pain.

2. Condyloma acuminatum

The incubation period of genital warts is long, generally ranging from 3 weeks to 8 months, with an average of about 3 months. At the beginning, it is not painful or itchy, and the rash is not obvious. The size and shape of the damage vary, and most patients do not have early symptoms.

3. Non gonococcal urethritis

Non gonococcal urethritis has a latent period of 7 to 21 days, and the symptoms are not obvious whether it is early or long-term infection. Some patients have itching in the urethra, frequent urination, urgency, and poor urination. During morning urination, a small amount of watery mucus may flow out of the urethral opening.

4. AIDS

AIDS has an incubation period of 2-10 years, and the window period is the HIV reproduction period, which generally lasts for 6 weeks. It takes 10 years to get infected with AIDS again, and there is almost no feeling in the middle, but AIDS can not be completely cured, and only drugs can be used to stabilize the disease.

5. Gonorrhea

Gonorrhea presents symptoms within 2 to 10 days after onset, initially with mild discomfort in the urethra. A few hours later, urinary pain and purulent discharge can spread to the urethra, causing urgency and frequency of urination. During examination, purulent yellow green urethral discharge and redness and swelling of the urethral opening will be found.

6. Syphilis

Syphilis has a latent period of 2-4 weeks, which is a stage of syphilis. The main symptoms are dark red hard lumps and shallow ulcers in the external genitalia, accompanied by surrounding lymph node enlargement. Early treatment of syphilis is important, and upon discovering the above symptoms, immediately choose a reputable hospital for treatment.

Warm reminder

Sexually transmitted diseases pose great harm to people. While causing diseases in the urinary and reproductive systems, they also cause damage to important tissues and organs throughout the body, and prevention measures must be taken. Be clean and self loving, avoid extramarital and unclean sexual activities, and have a fixed sexual partner. As long as there is no reproductive need, condoms must be worn during sexual activity. Pay attention to personal hygiene. If the male foreskin is too long, circumcision surgery is necessary, and the foreskin should be cleaned regularly to actively prevent infection. Do not share personal items such as toothbrushes and razors with others, nor do you share needles and syringes with others.
