How to judge a person's AIDS by the symptoms and manifestations of AIDS in the incubation period
AIDS is a serious sexual disease caused by human immunodeficiency virus infection, which directly destroys the immune system, reduces resistance and immunity, and patients often die of infection. Infection with AIDS virus will not immediately appear symptoms, there is a period of incubation.
What should we remember to stay away from AIDS?
1. AIDS has an incubation period
After HIV infection, the disease will not occur immediately. The virus has been latent in the body for many years, ranging from 6 to 8 years, ranging from months to decades. AIDS patients are not different from ordinary people during the incubation period. However, when entering the AIDS period, there are obvious symptoms, indicating that life has ended.
2. Systemic symptoms
HIV can directly invade the immune system, and the whole body has obvious symptoms. The patient repeatedly has low fever, Weight loss, and chills, and the most basic housework cannot be completed. Some patients are accompanied by weight loss, but when they go to the hospital for examination, they cannot find the root cause of weight loss and fever.
3. Skin damage
Most of the AIDS patients will have skin damage symptoms in the early stage, and occasionally they are found when they go to the hospital for a skin examination. The most common is a genital rash or Genital wart. Kaposi's sarcomatous skin change is one of the typical symptoms of AIDS.
4. Lymphadenopathy
When the immune system is invaded, Lymphadenopathy become swollen. When Lymphadenopathy are swollen all over the body, no matter what inspection is done, no incentive can be found. We must be alert to AIDS. The lymph nodes in the groin, neck and armpit of AIDS patients are swollen, but the swollen parts can move without pain.
5. Infection after contact with AIDS patients
The main Pathogen transmission of AIDS are blood transmission, sexual behavior transmission and mother to child vertical transmission. HIV is generally distributed in patients' secretions, blood, semen, amniotic fluid, milk, hydrothorax and ascites. Ordinary contact with AIDS patients, such as eating together, shaking hands or hugging, will not be infected.
6. AIDS is equivalent to death
Infection with AIDS virus does not mean death. Patients can live longer as long as they receive effective and regular treatment during the incubation period. However, the premise is that early detection and treatment are necessary to improve the quality of life and prolong the survival period.
