HIV is a virus that can attack the human visceral system. It targets the T4 lymphoid tissue, which is the most important part of the human immune system, causing extensive damage to the T lymphoid tissue and resulting in highly fatal internal failure. The virus is permanently infected in the region, disrupting the immune balance and making the human body a carrier of various diseases.
When the immune system itself does not cause any diseases, HIV does not cause any diseases. After HIV is destroyed, the human body loses the opportunity to replicate immune cells due to low resistance, thereby infecting other diseases, leading to various complex infections and death. The incubation period of HIV in the human body is 9-10 years on average. Before becoming a AIDS patient, the patient looked normal and could live and work Asymptomatic for many years.
HIV can suppress the immune system, leading to herpes, warts and mold infections and other skin diseases. Professor Connett, a dermatologist at the American Medical Center, said that skin symptoms occur several months before symptoms such as weight loss and fatigue occur in patients.
Through further research and observation, researchers found that various serious and stubborn skin lesions can be used as early identification markers of AIDS infection. People exposed to HIV will have relevant antibodies. Research has shown that people with this antibody have one to several types of skin lesions:
1. Skin inflammation, redness, blisters, accompanied by pustulosis and other skin bacterial infections, typically manifested as mottled small blisters around the mouth and nose.
2. Severe Seborrhoeic dermatitis, with severe oily scales appearing on the face, scalp and body skin.
3. Severe dry skin disease or sudden appearance of skin similar to that of an elderly person in young people.
4、 There is Folliculitis in armpit and other parts.
5. New warts were found around the rectum and anus, on hands, feet, and long whiskers.
6. There is a severe fungal infection in the feet.
It must be noted that although experts pointed out that the above skin diseases are early signs of AIDS infection, the condition is that patients should be exposed to the possibility of infection with the virus. These may include the recent importation of suspicious blood, the use of imported globulin and other biological products of unknown origin, or the history of homosexuality and contact with AIDS patients. If these individuals suddenly experience the aforementioned skin lesions, it is necessary to undergo further laboratory tests and a clear diagnosis.
