What phases of HIV are there?

The three stages of HIV

Acute HIV is stage one.

Some patients get flu-like symptoms a month or two after contracting HIV. Usually, these symptoms disappear in a week to a month.

Stage 2: Clinical latency/chronic stage

You can have HIV after the acute stage for many years without getting sick. It's crucial to understand that even if you feel fine, you can still transmit HIV to others.

Stage 3: AIDS

The final phase of HIV infection is AIDS. At this point, opportunistic infections have a significantly higher chance of making you ill since HIV has severely compromised your immune system.

Opportunistic infections are usually treatable by a person with a strong immune system. These diseases prey on your weakened immune system once HIV has developed into AIDS.

Certain malignancies are more common in people with AIDS. AIDS-defining illnesses refer to both these malignancies and opportunistic infections.

HIV infection and at least one of the following are required for an AIDS diagnosis:

• 200 cells or fewer per milliliter of blood (CD4 cells/mm3).
•   A disease associated with AIDS.

How is HIV Handled?

A variety of oral medications (pills) are taken daily to treat HIV. Antiperspirant therapy is the name given to this regimen of medications (ART).

The best method to prevent HIV from spreading and killing your cells is to take a variety of different medications rather than just one. Additionally, there exist combination pills that include multiple drugs in a single capsule. A mixture tailored for you will be carefully chosen by your healthcare professional.

The purpose of ART is to halt the immune system's deterioration caused by HIV by lowering the viral load in the blood to a level undetectable by an HIV test.

How can I maintain my health while having HIV?

It's crucial to follow the directions on your prescription medication and to keep your appointments. The term for this is treatment adherence.

HIV can alter how it infects your cells (mutate) if you forget to take your mess, even accidentally. This could result in your treatments losing their effectiveness. Speak with your healthcare practitioner if your schedule makes it difficult for you to remember to take your prescription or arrive on time for appointments.
