What are the early symptoms of AIDS? Four major symptoms will appear in the early stage after AIDS infection
AIDS AIDS virus is a serious chronic progressive infectious disease of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which invades the human body and destroys the human immune function, leading to various incurable infections and tumors, and ultimately leading to death.
HIV mainly exists in the body fluids of HIV infected persons or AIDS patients, including blood, semen, vaginal secretions, milk, wound exudate, etc. Any behavior that can cause fluid exchange can potentially spread HIV. There are three transmission modes of HIV: sexual contact transmission, blood transmission and mother to child transmission. About four thirds of people in the world are infected with HIV through sexual transmission. The vitality of HIV outside the human body is very fragile. It can only survive for hours to days at room temperature. It can be washed with soap and hot water, or killed with bleach; Air and water, coughing and sneezing, mosquito bites, shared toilets, shared phones, shared utensils, etiquette kissing, swimming, and hugging will not spread.
What are the early symptoms of AIDS?
Some patients have no clinical symptoms at the early stage of HIV infection, but most of them have no clinical symptoms. The early symptoms of HIV AIDS six to six weeks after HIV infection are mainly as follows:
1. Respiratory tract infection symptoms: upper respiratory tract infection symptoms such as fever, fatigue, sore throat, and general discomfort;
2. Headache and rash: symptoms include headache, rash, meningoencephalitis, or acute multiple neuritis;
3. Lymph nodes: There are swollen lymph nodes in the neck, armpit, and occipital region, similar to infectious mononucleosis;
4、 Hepatosplenomegaly
AIDS, AIDS
If someone suspects that he may be infected with AIDS, it is recommended that he pay attention to control the time. Because there is a so-called "window period" of HIV in the human body.
There is a lot of debate in the medical community about how long the window period is. Some say 6-8 weeks, while others say 3 months. The most conservative statement is 6 months! The statement that China agrees with is three months. The calculation of window period should start from high-risk behavior or blood transfusion. That is to say, if you have high-risk sexual activity or blood transfusion on January 1st, you should receive antibody testing after 6 weeks from January 1st, that is, February 12th. At this time, the number of HIV in the infected person will reach a peak, with strong infectivity. The acute infection period also occurs during this period. At present, the internationally recognized window period is 6 months, but with the progress of testing methods, the window period has been greatly shortened.
