Is there any symptom in the incubation period of AIDS? Watch out for three symptoms during the incubation period of AIDS

The human body has a complete natural process from HIV infection to the onset of disease. This process is clinically divided into acute infection period, incubation period, pre AIDS, and typical AIDS period.

After the symptoms of AIDS acute infection period appear, the asymptomatic period continues to appear, that is, the incubation period of AIDS. When the cellular immune function is low, the disease starts. Generally speaking, the incubation period of AIDS can last for 2-10 years, or more than 15 years. Next, experts will introduce the symptoms of AIDS incubation period.

Experts introduce AIDS latency symptoms

1、 Skin damage

Skin mucosa is one of the main parts of AIDS invasion, and many AIDS patients take skin damage as the primary symptom. Clinically, there are various manifestations such as rash, systemic itching, genital warts, contact genital warts, and urticaria.

1. Infectious skin and mucosal lesions. 64% of AIDS patients are accompanied by skin infection. The occurrence of skin infection is mainly due to the reduction of Th cells and skin Langerhans cells, the decline of skin cell immune function, which causes infection, treatment difficulties and easy recurrence. Among various infections, severe herpes simplex, herpes zoster, chronic acne like folliculitis, and chronic skin mucosal candidiasis have the greatest significance.

2. Non infectious skin and mucosal lesions. AIDS patients can have other skin lesions. The most common ones are seborrheic dermatitis, herpetic or measles itching rash, circular granulomatous protrusions, folliculitis, yellow nail syndrome, vasculitis, cluster alopecia, blood spots, eosinophilic pustular folliculitis, eyelash syndrome, etc.

3. Tumorous skin manifestations include KS, lymphoma, skin squamous cell carcinoma, grassroots cell carcinoma, etc. KS sarcoma is the most common initial manifestation in AIDS patients. The sarcoma is single or disseminated, and the color changes from light brown to dark purple. The shape of KS sarcoma is from plaque to tumor nodule, and it is also filter blister, zoster like or linear, which is not typical compared with KS sarcoma in non AIDS patients.

2、 Lymph node enlargement

During the incubation period of AIDS, the incidence of lymphadenopathy is 55%~100%. When patients in high-risk groups have systemic lymphadenopathy that cannot be explained by other reasons, it is likely to be related to HIV infection. Although swollen lymph nodes are systemic, they are more common in the posterior cervical, submaxillary, or axillary lymph nodes. The swollen lymph nodes are not fused, with a hard texture and occasional tenderness, and the surface skin remains unchanged.
