If you have engaged in high-risk behaviors or are experiencing symptoms similar to those of AIDS, you should not speculate about whether you have contracted HIV. The only approach is to go to the hospital for testing. Generally, after the window period has passed, you should go to the hospital for a screening test. If the screening test is positive, further tests should be conducted at the disease control center to confirm the diagnosis. Only through this process can it be determined whether you have AIDS or not.

AIDS is also called Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.

AIDS, also known as Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, is a sexually transmitted disease characterized by severe immunodeficiency caused by the infection of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus, or HIV. HIV invades the human immune system, causing a decline or even loss of immune function, ultimately leading to death due to severe infections or tumors. Therefore, its mortality rate is extremely high, and there are no effective treatments.

Can you get AIDS from oral sex?

Generally speaking, it is possible to contract HIV through oral sex. If the skin and mucous membranes of the areas involved are intact and there are no wounds, then the chance of infection is relatively small. However, if the skin and mucous membranes of the contact areas are damaged or have wounds, then the risk of infection significantly increases.

What temperature does AIDS fever reach?

People with AIDS, especially in the late stages of the disease, are indeed prone to fever, which can manifest as either high or low-grade fevers. The severity of the fever and its occurrence are greatly linked to various opportunistic infections. If there is a concurrent bacterial infection, it typically results in high fevers, whereas tuberculosis co-infections might cause low-grade fevers and night sweats. If there are other co-infections, such as viral infections, these can also lead to either high or low-grade fevers at times. It’s difficult to specify a definite temperature for fevers in AIDS patients, as it can vary.

Does AIDS transmit through kissing?

AIDS is mainly transmitted through sexual contact, the most common forms being vaginal and anal intercourse. Infection is more likely when there are no protective measures in place, such as not using condoms, through direct contact of the sexual organs. Kissing carries a relatively low risk of infection. However, if the kissing is deep and there are significant mouth ulcers or bleeding gums present, the risk can increase somewhat. Overall, the risk still exists but is very low.

Can AIDS be ruled out after six weeks?

Going to the hospital for HIV screening after six weeks is entirely feasible, as it typically surpasses the window period. However, if you have engaged in high-risk behaviors, we recommend that you get tested again after three months. If there are frequent high-risk behaviors, we advise you to undergo another test at six months to thoroughly rule out HIV.
