Stages of an HIV infection
Nowadays, the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is one of the most severe infection that anyone could suffer from. This infection makes the patient weak day by day and it affects different body parts also. The patient’s body deteriorates as soon as it gets infected by this virus. One can slow down its impact by providing certain medicines. These medicines can help by slowing the progress of the virus from proceeding from one stage to another. Also, by consuming proper medicines, one can avoid passing the infection to other people. Proper medicines can also help in living a longer and a better life. Stage 1 This stage is commonly known as acute primary infection. At this stage, some people will show symptoms like having high fever similar to the flu. This stage starts one to four weeks after one gets an HIV infection. Some people don’t show any symptom at all at this stage. If anyone has this flu-like symptom, then this symptom will also go away in a few days. And also, having flu-like symptom doesn’t mean one has an HIV infection. But, if one thinks they have a chance of developing this infection, then they must visit a doctor for a diagnosis.
