The first signs of AIDS

To date, AIDS is one of the five major killer diseases (including cancer, diabetes, heart failure and pneumonia), because of which the largest number of people die on our planet. The epidemic of this disease is growing and covering all new regions.

AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) is the stage of the human immunodeficiency virus, when due to its development and the gradual decrease in the immunity of the infected person, its condition is characterized by constantly emerging opportunistic infections (diseases caused by viruses and bacteria that do not cause in healthy people with normal immunity of the disease) Tumor and other non-communicable diseases.

Syndrome of immunodeficiency is a very insidious disease. The first signs of AIDS are very easy to miss, because most often in the first stages of this disease, virtually no symptoms. However, they can sometimes manifest themselves in a short time after infection.

In order not to miss the first symptoms of AIDS in time you need to know what they are:

1. The causeless and asymptomatic elevated temperatures of the patient's body to 37.5-38 degrees, which passes as suddenly as it appears.

2. Enlarged lymph nodes in the groin, under the armpits, on the neck. They do not hurt and have a dense structure to the touch.

3. Red spots all over the body.

4. Increased fatigue.

5. Periodic fever and night sweats.

6. Sometimes there are unpleasant sensations in the throat, pain when swallowing.

7. Problems with stool, diarrhea.

Such symptoms are characteristic of a simple cold or flu, so many do not pay attention to these signs. However, the first signs of AIDS disappear with time and appear again, and this may mean that the disease is progressing.

Symptoms of the disease are also constantly emerging opportunistic infections: pneumonia, herpes, cytomegalovirus infection, tuberculosis.

In a person who is HIV-infected, the first signs of AIDS are also frequent diseases that people who have a normal immune system go through themselves or are easily treated; They can lead to a state when diseases of internal organs begin to develop, often ending with the death of a person.

In addition, other first signs of AIDS may appear: white spots in the mouth, as well as rapid and significant weight loss. There are also individual symptoms in women and men.

The first symptoms of AIDS in women can be frequent infectious diseases of the pelvic organs and vaginal infections, hard to treat, an abnormal smear of the cervix.

The first signs of AIDS in men who do not show up in women are, firstly, a rash that lasts from one week to a month and can look like multiple areas of colorless skin. Secondly, men who have this disease often have headaches. Unlike women, in men, the signs of AIDS are very vague and short-lived.

Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome is a neglected stage of HIV infection, it is very dangerous and difficult to treat. In order not to miss the moment and not to expose your life to danger, it is better, with the slightest suspicion, to pass the test for the presence of the immunodeficiency virus, which today is the only reliable way to give a 100% result, to reveal this disease. Even if HIV has penetrated into the body, with its timely detection it is possible to control its reproduction and with the help of modern drugs to stop development in the body.
