AIDS is the abbreviation of acquired immune deficiency syndrome, a new sexually transmitted disease that was recognized by people only in 1981. It is caused by the HIV (HIV), which causes a series of pathogenic microbial infections and fatal tumor syndromes.
Early female symptoms: Generally, women with AIDS will continue to have extensive Lymphadenopathy in the early stage, especially in the neck, armpit and groin lymph nodes. Lymphadenopathy is about 1cm in diameter, hard, painless, mobile, and lasts for more than 3 months. The early symptoms of female AIDS still contain the virus in blood and semen. If dangerous activities occur during this period, the virus will be transmitted to Sexual partner. So having no symptoms does not necessarily mean having no infection.
