After being infected with AIDS virus, the average person does not feel sick at first, and no antibody can be detected in the serum. This time is called the window period, which is usually 2 weeks to 3 months, and then enters the asymptomatic period, which lasts from a few months to more than 10 years. Anti HIV resistance begins to be detected in the serum. When HIV invades the human body, through the window period and the asymptomatic period, the process before the emergence of AIDS syndrome is called HIV infection (HIV infection), and the infected person is called HIV carrier (HIV carrier) or infected person.
Initial symptoms of AIDS
Some patients have no clinical symptoms at the initial stage of HIV infection, but most of them can have clinical symptoms of HIV viremia and acute injury of the immune system 6 days to 6 weeks after HIV infection. The initial symptoms of AIDS are mainly as follows
1. Respiratory tract infection symptoms: fever, weakness, sore throat, general discomfort, and other respiratory tract infection symptoms
2. Headache and rash: Individual symptoms include headache, rash, meningitis, or acute multiple neuritis/p>3. Lymph nodes: swelling, swelling, swelling, swelling, swelling, swelling, swelling, swelling, swelling, swelling, swelling, swelling
The three transmission routes of AIDS should be clear
1. One way of AIDS transmission: sexual contact transmission.
Including sexual contact between same-sex and opposite sex. Anal and oral sex pose a greater risk of infection.
2. The second route of AIDS transmission: blood transmission.
(1) Importing blood or blood products contaminated with HIV.
(2) Intravenous drug addicts share HIV contaminated, unsterilized needles and syringes.
(3) Sharing other medical devices and daily necessities (such as toothbrushes, razors, etc. with infected individuals) may also result in infection at the damaged area, but it is rare.
(4) Syringes and needles are not thoroughly disinfected or not disinfected, especially for children's preventive injections. There is a greater risk of not being able to be injected alone. Dental instruments, midwifery instruments, surgical instruments, and needles used for the treatment of needles are not tightly disinfected or not disinfected. Cutting tools such as eyebrows and ears, tattoos, needles, and bathroom foot trimmers are not disinfected, and shaving knives are shared with others Blood and blood products of blood donors for HIV antibody test of shavers or shared toothbrushes
3. AIDS transmission 3: mother to child transmission.
Also known as perinatal transmission, which means that a mother infected with HIV can transmit HIV to the fetus or baby before or after delivery through the placenta or through the birth canal or breastfeeding during delivery.
