If the initial HIV screening test performed at a general hospital is positive, doctors will recommend that you go to the local disease control center for further confirmatory testing, which is free of charge. If the confirmatory test is positive, the disease control center will register and create a file for you, and provide free antiviral treatment. This fully demonstrates the care and attention China provides to people with HIV.

Is herpes zoster AIDS?

Dyshidrosis belongs to a type of allergic disease and is categorized under eczema, commonly occurring on both hands. This condition has a high incidence rate and has no relation to HIV/AIDS. HIV/AIDS, caused by sexual contact or blood transmission, leads to Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome and is distinctly different from dyshidrosis. Dyshidrosis can be completely cured through conventional anti-allergy treatments or by applying topical steroid creams. On the other hand, once infected with HIV/AIDS, treatment can be complicated, requiring long-term medication to suppress viral replication, but it cannot be completely cured. Dyshidrosis is not related to HIV/AIDS, nor is it a preliminary symptom of HIV/AIDS; there is no connection between the two.

Is late-stage AIDS painful?

In the late stages of AIDS, human immune function is severely deficient, with all tissues and organs of the body being compromised, accompanied by multiple and various opportunistic infections and the occurrence of malignant tumors. This leads to symptoms such as skin itching, muscle pain, fever, diarrhea, and weight loss. If the nervous system is affected, dementia, loss of discriminative ability, or motor dysfunction may occur. Therefore, the late stages are quite painful.

AIDS is also called Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.

AIDS, also known as Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, is a sexually transmitted disease characterized by severe immunodeficiency caused by the infection of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus, or HIV. HIV invades the human immune system, causing a decline or even loss of immune function, ultimately leading to death due to severe infections or tumors. Therefore, its mortality rate is extremely high, and there are no effective treatments.

Can AIDS be ruled out after six weeks?

Going to the hospital for HIV screening after six weeks is entirely feasible, as it typically surpasses the window period. However, if you have engaged in high-risk behaviors, we recommend that you get tested again after three months. If there are frequent high-risk behaviors, we advise you to undergo another test at six months to thoroughly rule out HIV.

Where to get tested for AIDS?

If you suspect that you have contracted HIV, you should immediately go to a regular medical institution or a nationally designated hospital to undergo an initial HIV antibody screening test. If the initial screening test result is positive, you will need to further go to a disease control center or a nationally designated hospital for HIV testing to undergo further confirmatory tests. If the confirmatory test is also positive, then you can generally be diagnosed with HIV infection.
