In fact, after the human body is infected with HIV, most people directly enter the incubation period of AIDS (generally up to about 10 years) without any symptoms, but some people will have acute symptoms, mainly manifested as: about 10% of patients have flu like symptoms, such as general discomfort, myalgia, fever, sweating, fatigue, anorexia, nausea, diarrhea, sore throat, and some people may also have headache, photophobia, and virtual meningitis.
About a quarter of patients also have skin rashes, usually manifested as rashes or Hives, which appear in the neck, axillary lymph nodes can be swollen, and other patients have liver, spleen, mouth, esophageal mucosa ulcers, etc. A few patients may have neurological symptoms of aseptic meningitis, such as Meningoencephalitis, peripheral neuritis and acute polyneuritis. Physical examination can reveal Lymphadenopathy, skin rash, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, oral ulcer, esophageal ulcer, etc.
The above symptoms usually appear from 2 to 6, which are relatively mild and easily overlooked by everyone. They will last for about 1 to 4 weeks before they can self heal. Many people have some symptoms after high-risk behaviors, such as panic, anxiety, inattention, headache, Sleep disorder, etc. And there are all kinds of AIDS fear symptoms, some people even want to end their lives. This is an extremely wrong idea and an irresponsible one towards oneself, family, and society.
I want to remind you that the early symptoms of AIDS generally have no specificity. The above symptoms may also be caused by other viruses or psychological factors with weakened immune function. Therefore, diagnosis cannot be based solely on symptoms. If there is too high risk behavior, AIDS antibody test should be carried out as soon as possible to determine whether the infection.
There are three ways of infection:
1. Dangerous sexual behavior
Dangerous sexual intercourse refers to sexual intercourse with insurance measures (using condoms) and direct sexual intercourse, which is the main route of HIV infection in the world; The proportion of infections caused by all AIDS patients is 70-80%, mainly because it collects the possibility of multiple infections, such as semen and secretion, thereby increasing its risk.
Therefore, preventing sexual activity and infection is very important.
2. Blood infection
A. Blood infection: The degree of HIV infection in the blood and semen is ten times that of saliva and 1000 times that of water. Therefore, because the blood, especially the patients who often lose blood and need a large number of blood friends, leaks or contaminates the blood with virus during the Window period period, they are less likely to be infected.
