The disease from the point of infection till the development of AIDS has a lot of intermediate stages. The stages are as follows: First stage or Window Period The first stage is called the window period which extends from six weeks to six months. It is the time interval existing between the time of infection when the virus enters one's body to the time when the patient develops enough antibodies to be measured on an HIV test. Second stage or asymptomatic stage The second stage is called the asymptomatic stage where the patient shows no sign of infection. This is because the immune system is strong in combating the virus. Third stage or symptomatic stage The third stage is called the symptomatic stage where he virus (HIV) becomes very active which in turn weakens the patient's immune system. In this stage symptoms of HIV infection may begin to appear. |

Posted on: 11/03/2009 =1. 2005 there were 5 stages. 2006 4 stages.now you say 3 stages AIDS......May i say just 2, asymptom and symptom is enuf ?.[in 2 stage TB and PGL are there !] 2.= Even the name alters, HIV > AIDS > HIV/AIDS> now AIDS !! >>>.....We field workers are simple medicos.Guide us properly. 3=.Why is pre-counseling mandatory, when an person comes just to know if his blood shows some wrong or not, do the test at once and tell him,simple. Post-test yes IS helpful, if he wishes. 4.Clinical assessment is enuf. No, wait for the CD4. Dont wait for the CD4. start Rx asap. no, wait till some synptom shows./// you see how we are led / dazed ?// Recently i had a case with CD4 1200 till death, but downhill sinking for 8 months, and the HAART Center refuses, goes by the set guidelines, and not by the clinical deterioration !!!

Posted on: 11/03/2009 maartsi,you are quite right. BUT ! HIV morphs/mutates everynow and then.research findings keep on cropping up to confuse or help. Simple person GOD has no universal name, and half the diseases are not yet fully understood, example Diabetes Mellitus course and complications.so we live and let live amidst all the conflicts. |
