It is believed that everyone is familiar with AIDS. AIDS exists as a sexually transmitted disease hostile to human beings, and its occurrence can be said to be destructive. Although people do not want to be infected with this disease, some people have never been blessed by the God of Luck, and AIDS comes to them like a devil. So, how long can I live with AIDS.
How long can I live with AIDS?
A healthy person is generally divided into three stages from HIV infection to death. The first stage is called the acute HIV infection stage. After infection, a small number of infected people will have symptoms similar to influenza, such as fever, pharyngitis, rash, Lymphadenopathy, etc. These symptoms will naturally disappear within 2-3 weeks.
Then, the infected people enter the second stage, which is called the Asymptomatic stage, accounting for about 80% of the time from infection to death. At this time, the patients are called HIV carriers. On the surface, most of the infected people are healthy, no difference from normal people, but their immune system fights with the virus invisibly.
HIV destroys a large number of immune cells every day, while bone marrow compensates by accelerating the generation of new cells. However, the rate of replenishing new cells always lags behind the rate of cell loss. In normal individuals, there are approximately 800-1000 immune cells per cubic meter of blood, while in infected individuals, the number of immune cells per cubic meter of blood gradually decreases at a rate of 50-70 per year. When the number of immune cells decreases to only about 200 per cubic meter of blood, the decline rate will accelerate. The duration of the Asymptomatic period of an infected person can be as long or as short as 2 years, or as long as 20 years. Its length is closely related to the route of infection. Generally, the duration of the infected person (mainly illegal blood collection and sharing syringes) is 4-5 years, and the duration of sexual intercourse infection is 11-13 years. If the Asymptomatic period of an infected person can reach 13 years, it can be called a long-term survivor.
When the immune cells in the infected person's body are unable to fight against HIV, they enter the final stage of HIV infection, indicating a symptomatic period. The infected person is called AIDS patient, who is prone to infection with other diseases and has no threat to human life at ordinary times
The above is the related introduction of "How long can you live with AIDS?". The venereal disease expert of Wuxi Jianguo Men's Hospital said that AIDS patients will have various outbreaks, such as patches of skin herpes, meningitis, cancer, tuberculosis, hepatitis, etc. A man who weighs more than 100 kg can drop to more than 70 kg, with deep eyes, hair loss, muscle atrophy, dyspnea, and itchy skin, Even developing dementia, losing memory, and dying like a skeleton wrapped in skin.
