What are the symptoms of HIV in the early, middle and late stages of the disease?
In the early, acute stage of HIV infection, symptoms such as flu-like, malaise, and skin rashes may occur. The symptoms then disappear and last for years to decades. The onset of the disease occurs when HIV has severely damaged the immune system. Symptoms include general symptoms such as fever, night sweats, and enlarged lymph nodes throughout the body. Systemic symptoms, such as weight loss. Combined with lung infections, such as tuberculosis, Pneumocystis pneumonia, cough, chest pain, dyspnea, and in severe cases, congenital. There are also digestive symptoms such as anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and so on. Nervous system symptoms mainly include dizziness, headache, mental retardation, slowness, and mental abnormality. When it involves the skin, herpes simplex, herpes zoster, and various malignant tumors are highly prevalent in the late stage.
The early stage of AIDS can also be called the acute stage; if HIV infection, after the virus enters the body, it circulates in the lymphatic vessels (lymphocytes) in 48 hours, in 3 to 4 days it circulates in the bloodstream, and in 7-14 days, most of the people will experience the early symptoms of AIDS! Symptoms are similar to a cold; sore throat, fever, rash, fever is a real fever between 38.5-39.5 degrees, fever is persistent (3-4) days, ordinary antibiotic treatment is ineffective, but unlike the common cold there are no respiratory symptoms, after the fever goes down a large rash will appear, and the rest of the meaning of each! The middle stage of AIDS is also called the incubation period; HIV attacks the t-lymphocytes (cd4) of the human immune system, and there are several years in the middle stage of AIDS when there are no symptoms! As the immune cells dwindle, symptoms appear in the mid to late stages; low-grade fever, swollen lymph nodes, lung infections, tumors...
With the advancement of medicine; AIDS has become a chronic disease and the state provides free antiretroviral treatment for patients, whose life expectancy is comparable to normal if detected in the early and middle stages!
