AIDS
How long does it take for AIDS to manifest?
After the human body becomes infected with the HIV virus, 50%-70% of people may exhibit symptoms similar to the common cold, such as fever, headache, sore throat, and muscle and joint pain, about two weeks later. There can also be generalized swelling of the lymph nodes, the appearance of maculopapular rashes, and symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Generally, these symptoms will disappear after about a month, and then a symptom-free infection period follows, which can last from 1 to 10 years. Subsequently, the individual enters the AIDS phase. During the AIDS phase, various types of infections erupt, including bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic infections, and even concurrent malignant tumors, all of which can lead to death.
Can two people who do not have AIDS get AIDS?
Two people who do not have HIV, when staying together or living together, cannot contract HIV. AIDS is definitely caused after being infected with the HIV virus. When discussing infectious diseases, there must be a source of infection and a mode of transmission. Therefore, if two people do not have HIV and are together, there is no source of infection, and thus the transmission of HIV is impossible.
Is the HIV test paper accurate?
The test papers for AIDS, whether domestically produced or imported, have an accuracy rate exceeding 90%, with some even reaching 95% to 97% or more. As for the accuracy of these results, the key depends on two factors: first, whether the testing method you use is accurate, and second, whether the testing is conducted after the window period has passed.
