Most AIDS patients will die from AIDS, but due to differences in our living conditions, living environment, mental state, treatment plans, and treatment conditions, there are a few people who may just be carriers of AIDS for life without progressing to the AIDS stage. Such people might die from their normal life expectancy rather than from AIDS, which is possible.

Does AIDS affect menstruation?

AIDS is primarily caused by infection with the HIV virus, which then leads to a deficiency in human immune function, destroying the body's CD4 T lymphocyte system. When immune function is severely deficient, it can lead to menstrual disorders and general malnutrition. AIDS can cause immune imbalance and lead to menstrual irregularities, so it is possible for AIDS to affect menstruation. Treatment should be tailored to the specific circumstances, including systematic and standardized anti-HIV treatment and adjustments to one's condition.

How long does the fever last in AIDS?

People with AIDS are more prone to developing fever. During the onset of AIDS, it is common for the fever to last for over a month, with weight loss exceeding 10 kilograms, along with symptoms such as swollen lymph nodes throughout the body, rash, cough, sore throat, and fever. The fever in AIDS patients is mostly caused by opportunistic infections, typically involving viruses, bacteria, and fungi. The treatment of fever in AIDS should be tailored to the specific circumstances, requiring antiretroviral therapy for HIV and treatment targeting the opportunistic infections.

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.

What are the symptoms of AIDS?

Individuals infected with HIV typically do not exhibit noticeable symptoms during the latency period. During the acute phase, however, symptoms such as rash, fever, generalized lymphadenopathy, and cough are likely to occur. During the active phase of AIDS, due to severe immune deficiency, a series of opportunistic infections and malignancies may occur. These can include persistent coughing, sputum production, diarrhea, weight loss, and unexplained fever. Treatment and diagnosis should be tailored to the specific circumstances, with diagnosis primarily made through testing for HIV antibodies.

How much is the AIDS blocking drug?

If the initial HIV screening test performed at a general hospital is positive, doctors will recommend that you go to the local disease control center for further confirmatory testing, which is free of charge. If the confirmatory test is positive, the disease control center will register and create a file for you, and provide free antiviral treatment. This fully demonstrates the care and attention China provides to people with HIV.
