The incidence of AIDS is relatively hidden. About 50~70% people will have some atypical symptoms after one month of infection, such as high fever, symmetrical rose rash, diarrhea, headache and so on. Similar to adult viral rash or syphilis, but it is impossible to diagnose AIDS by looking at the symptoms. The above symptoms usually subside spontaneously within one month, and then enter a long asymptomatic incubation period. As for the other 50%, there will be no symptoms from infection to attack.
I think someone replied that there will be symptoms such as emaciation, night sweats and colds during asymptomatic infection of AIDS, which is actually unfounded. Weight loss and night sweats are mostly hysteria caused by fear that AIDS patients will scare themselves.
At the beginning of AIDS, there will be various symptoms of infection, and ordinary people can also appear, but AIDS patients have more frequent infections, longer infection periods and heavier symptoms. For example, oral herpes recurs. Herpes not only appears around the mouth and lips, but also around the hands and eyes. There are herpes zoster, AIDS herpes zoster all over the body, or invade multiple ganglion segments, instead of just starting a small pile on the waist like ordinary people. There are all kinds of pneumonia, bacterial pneumonia today and viral pneumonia tomorrow.
As for the typical sporococcal pneumonia and Kaposi's sarcoma, they all began to appear in the late stage of AIDS, and this symptom is usually not treated on time after infection.
What are the obvious symptoms of acute AIDS infection? As an infectious disease doctor to answer your questions!
According to the clinical stages, AIDS can be divided into three stages: acute infection stage, asymptomatic stage and AIDS stage (late stage).
At present, most patients are consulted about the symptoms of acute infection. After an acute infection period, it enters an asymptomatic period, which lasts about 2-8 years, but it is not absolute. Some patients with poor immunity also change from acute infection to advanced patients more quickly.
So why are there so many symptoms in acute infection? The most important reason is-because of the acute damage of HIV and immune system.
Symptoms include: fever, rash, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, pharyngitis, fatigue, sweating, swollen lymph nodes, diarrhea and other symptoms. Some patients also have acute aseptic encephalitis, which is usually characterized by headache, nervous system symptoms and meningeal irritation. Peripheral blood tests showed that the total number of white blood cells was normal, or lymphocytes decreased and monocytes increased. The acute phase of AIDS usually occurs about 7- 15 days after high-risk behavior. In the acute infection period of AIDS, the symptoms are generally mild and easy to be ignored.
To sum up: the symptoms of acute AIDS infection are similar to colds and have no specificity. Therefore, when patients have a high-risk medical history, they must consult a professional doctor and never suffer from serious phobia.
You can pay attention to the privacy of infectious diseases, and personally trust Dr. Li Ping to protect your privacy. I will accompany you on a healthy road!
The course of AIDS is divided into three periods. Acute infection period, incubation period (asymptomatic period) and AIDS period. Patients in acute infection and incubation period are called HIV-infected people. Patients in the AIDS stage are called AIDS patients. In this way, it takes two time periods to answer the initial symptoms of AIDS. One is the initial symptoms of HIV infection and the other is the initial symptoms of AIDS.
The initial symptoms of HIV infection are similar to the common cold and flu, such as fever, sore throat, muscle pain, joint pain, fatigue and swollen lymph nodes. It usually returns to normal after 2-3 weeks. About 70% and 80% people infected with the virus appear. Because the symptoms are mild, they are sometimes ignored by patients.
AIDS has many prophase symptoms. Such as loss of appetite, slight fever, weight loss, night sweats, etc. Mild opportunistic infections such as superficial lymphadenopathy, oral mucosal infection, gingivitis, skin fungal infection, herpes zoster, etc.
What are the obvious symptoms of AIDS at the beginning?
Speaking of AIDS, it is estimated that everyone knows it better. It is a sexually transmitted disease, mainly transmitted through blood, mother-to-child and sexual behavior. But it is estimated that not many people know what the early symptoms of AIDS are. Today, I will share the early symptoms of AIDS.
1. Fever: Most AIDS patients may not have any obvious symptoms in the early stage, but if the infected person has HIV entering the blood or acute injury to the immune system, most patients may show fever, and the general body temperature is below 38, which usually occurs 2-4 weeks after high-risk behavior.
2. Fatigue: In the early stage of AIDS infection, many people will feel tired and weak, which may last for a long time, but many people will not care because it lacks specificity, and if they stay up late, overwork, and have too much sex, etc. It can cause fatigue and weakness, so many people ignore it;
3. Weight loss: Some AIDS patients will have obvious weight loss in the early stage. This is mainly because HIV destroys human immunity, leading to the invasion of human digestive system by bacteria, so the absorption capacity of food decreases, resulting in weight loss;
4. Headache: Due to various reasons, such as staying up late, taking some drugs, catching a cold, etc. Pain can happen, so no one will notice that they are infected with AIDS;
5. Rash: When HIV invades human immunity, it can lead to the decline of skin's ability to remove pathogens, thus causing viruses or bacteria to infect the skin, and some AIDS patients will have rash symptoms;
6. Repeated infection: AIDS patients are particularly prone to repeated infection after their immunity is destroyed, which is difficult to treat. For example, some fungal infections are difficult to control;
7. Long-term incurable diarrhea: If the intestinal immune system is destroyed by HIV, it is particularly easy to cause intestinal infection, because there are many Escherichia coli in the intestine. Under normal circumstances, they are in a state of balance, and once the balance is broken, it will cause diarrhea;
8. Others: such as lymphadenopathy, nausea, vomiting, night sweats, etc. Finally, it is concluded that there may be some obvious symptoms in the early stage of AIDS, but most of them lack specificity, so many people will ignore them, but if there are high-risk behaviors, they should go to the hospital as soon as possible to make a clear diagnosis; Some early symptoms of AIDS are summarized above. The above is my answer to this question, purely by hand. It is not easy. If you think what you wrote can be praised, you can leave a message below if you have any questions ... AIDS, the initial symptom of AIDS, is also called acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) because the body is infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
If HIV is allowed to develop, immune cells will be gradually destroyed by HIV, and the barrier to protect the human body will disappear.
Without immune cells, you lose the ability to treat diseases. When the number of immune cells decreases to a certain level, healthy people will be infected by uninfected bacteria and viruses and develop into various types of pneumonia and other diseases. In addition, the incidence of malignant lymphoma and skin cancer will increase because immune cells are destroyed and cancer cells cannot be prevented from growing in the body.
The average incubation period of AIDS is 6-8 years, ranging from a few months to several decades. So far, about 38 million people in the world have died of AIDS.
When infected with HIV, HIV begins to multiply rapidly in the body within 2 to 4 weeks after infection and destroys immune cells. Early symptoms such as influenza may appear 2-4 weeks after infection.
The main initial symptoms include: 1: fever 2: lymphadenopathy 3: sore throat 4: muscle pain/joint pain 5: nausea/vomiting, diarrhea and other symptoms. If it develops rapidly, severe cases will also have symptoms of the central nervous system.
Therefore, most people with the above symptoms will think that they have a cold or are overworked and will not take it to heart.
If these early symptoms appear, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination and treatment.
That's a good question! According to the relevant provisions of China's Law on the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases, AIDS is managed as a Class B infectious disease in China, but the reporting and control measures of Class A infectious diseases must be taken.
We know that the incubation period of HIV is very long, averaging 6-8 years, but as short as a few months and as long as 10 year.
AIDS patients have a long and complicated evolution process from the initial infection with HIV to the final stage of disease development, which can be roughly divided into three stages: acute infection period, asymptomatic infection period and symptomatic infection period (terminal stage).
Then, what are the obvious symptoms in the early stage of HIV infection, that is, the acute infection period? The following points are for reference only.
First of all, let's understand, what is the cause of AIDS?
Simply understood, AIDS is caused by HIV, which invades our bodies and destroys the immune cells in our bodies, specifically CD4+T lymphocytes, thus causing the immune function defects of our body cells, and ultimately leading to the decline of our body's anti-infection ability, including the defense ability against tumor cells.
In the early stage of AIDS, that is, acute infection, HIV will reach the local lymph nodes in a very short time, which takes about 24-48 hours; Then, in less than a week, about 5 days, HIV virus will be detected in the blood of suspected patients, leading to some acute infection symptoms.
Some AIDS patients in acute infection period will have some typical symptoms, which generally appear between 2 and 4 weeks after the first infection with HIV, that is, they are characterized by fever, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and other symptoms; Or sore throat, night sweats, rash; Some patients will also show joint pain, swollen lymph nodes and nervous system symptoms.
These initial symptoms are caused by the emergence of HIV- anemia and acute injury of immune system, but most infected patients have mild symptoms and will relieve themselves after 1-3 weeks.
Do you agree with me?
There are generally no symptoms in the early stage of AIDS infection. Only when you catch a cold can you find that your resistance drops, and the effect of any medicine is not obvious. Besides, your health is getting worse and weaker. Once you get sick, you will have a fever and cough, and lung infection is difficult to control.
Because AIDS is an immune system disease, once the immune function is low or lost, any bacteria and viruses can invade unscrupulously, which is the consequence we can imagine.
After being infected with hiv virus, it usually enters the acute phase for half a month and generally lasts for 7- 10 days. During this period, there will be symptoms such as cold, persistent low-grade fever, sore throat, muscle aches, nausea and loss of appetite, weight loss, diarrhea, swollen lymph nodes (usually in the chin and armpit groin). Some people have more acute symptoms, while others have fewer acute symptoms, just because of people. If high-risk behaviors have similar symptoms for about half a month, you should be vigilant.
In recent years, due to people's more and more open sexual concepts, the proportion of AIDS has gradually increased. Everyone has heard of AIDS and knows that this disease is incurable. However, many people have misunderstandings about AIDS, and think that this disease is relatively easy to be infected. In fact, the infection of this disease has a very clear route of transmission. As long as you pay more attention, you won't spread the disease.
There are three main ways to spread AIDS, one is blood transmission, the other is sexual contact transmission, and the third is mother-to-child transmission. Sexual transmission is more widely spread, so we should pay special attention to it. At the same time, pay attention to blood transmission. If AIDS patients have wounds, try not to get blood stains.
In essence, AIDS is not easy to find. If you have AIDS, what are the obvious symptoms at first?
1. Within 2 to 4 weeks after suffering from AIDS, some people will have HIV- anemia, and some people will have acute damage to the immune system, but it is not obvious.
2. After 2 weeks, some people will continue to have fever, and the whole body may feel unwell, similar to a cold.
Some patients may have headache, sore throat and diarrhea. Moreover, there will be swollen lymph nodes, which will feel when touched by hand, and it will not hurt when pressed.
4, early headache, dizziness, high fever, virus damage to the immune system, low immunity will lead to night sweats and joint swelling and pain.
First, what is AIDS? AIDS is a chronic and fatal infectious disease, which is caused by HIV infection. The main transmission routes of AIDS are sexual contact, blood transmission and direct mother-to-child transmission, among which sexual transmission is the most important transmission route. Aids virus specifically invades and destroys helper T lymphocytes, and at the same time damages various immune cells in the body, eventually leading to various serious opportunistic infections and malignant tumors, so it is also called acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
Second, the symptoms of AIDS The average incubation period of HIV in the human body is 8 to 9 years. Patients may experience acute phase, asymptomatic phase and AIDS phase, and patients may have different clinical symptoms at different stages.
1. Acute symptoms
Symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection such as fever, fatigue, sore throat and general malaise usually occur 1~2 weeks after exposure to HIV; Some patients have headache, rash, meningoencephalitis or acute polyneuritis; Cervical, axillary and occipital lymph nodes are enlarged, similar to infectious mononucleosis or hepatosplenomegaly.
2. Asymptomatic symptoms
There are often no obvious symptoms and signs, and some patients may have persistent lymphadenopathy and maintain it for a long time.
3. AIDS symptoms
Unexplained low immune function; Persistent irregular low fever 1 month or more; Persistent unexplained systemic lymphadenopathy (lymph node diameter greater than1cm); Chronic diarrhea 4~5 times /d or more, and weight loss 10% or more within 3 months; Complicated with oral candidiasis, pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, cytomegalovirus infection, toxoplasmosis, cryptococcal meningitis, rapidly progressing active pulmonary tuberculosis, lymphoma and so on. Dementia is common in young and middle-aged patients.
4. Other symptoms
90% of HIV-infected people or AIDS patients have skin mucosal lesions in the course of the disease, which can be manifested as infectious lesions, non-infectious lesions and skin tumors.
Third, how to prevent AIDS? (1) Early screening
1. AIDS screening target
AIDS patients lack specific indications in the early stage and cannot be investigated through clinical symptoms. If there is irregular use of blood products or high-risk sexual behavior in the near future, it belongs to the high-risk group of AIDS and should be screened regularly.
2. Time and method of AIDS screening
High-risk groups of AIDS generally go to the local CDC or hospitals with AIDS testing qualifications for HIV antibody testing or HIV nucleic acid testing about 2 to 6 weeks after high-risk behaviors occur. If the result is negative, you can check it every 3 months and 6 months. If all the results are negative, HIV infection can be ruled out. If the test is positive, you need to go to the local CDC or hospital for further examination and diagnosis. If you are a sex worker or a drug addict, it is recommended to have a test every 1~3 months.
