What are the symptoms of AIDS?

How is AIDS diagnosed? Tests for the diagnosis of AIDS, blood samples are taken. After HIV enters the body, the body produces substances called antibodies to fight, but it takes three months to form. This first quarter is called the 'window period'. Anti –HIV test is performed to detect antibodies produced by the body. However, the anti-HIV test can be misleading since antibodies do not yet appear during the window period. A positive result obtained with this test may need to be re-tested by western-blotting. This can be diagnosed. Firstly, blood values, blood count, lymphocyte ratio and CD4 ratios are examined for treatment and then treatment is planned. What are the symptoms of AIDS?

Because, it is not the HIV virus itself that causes symptoms or deaths in carriers, but infections that can occur more easily as the body is completely vulnerable to collapse of the immune system. HIV may not show symptoms for years An HIV-infected person has symptoms like colds, fever, fatigue and weakness within about 3-4 weeks of receiving the virus. After a few days, people living with HIV will continue to live a normal, healthy appearance for years without any symptoms. However, it is a lifelong HIV virus carrier and infectious.
