After HIV-infected individuals enter the AIDS phase, due to the severe deficiency in human immune function, viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites, and malignant tumors can invade the human digestive system, leading to diarrhea. This diarrhea can occur 3-5 times daily, or even up to 10 times, and it can persist for more than one month.

When does AIDS occur?

About half a month after being initially infected with HIV, 50%-70% of people will experience symptoms similar to those of a cold, including headache, fever, sore throat, pain in muscles and joints, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, swelling of lymph nodes throughout the body, or the appearance of maculopapular rashes on the skin. These symptoms will all disappear within about a month, after which the individual will enter a latent period that generally lasts from 1 to 10 years, before progressing to the AIDS phase. Once in the AIDS phase, various symptoms can occur at any time throughout the body.

Does blistering at the base of the tongue indicate AIDS?

It is unscientific and inaccurate to judge whether someone has HIV solely based on bubbles at the base of the tongue. To correctly determine if someone has HIV, we need to consider the medical history, whether there has been exposure to the HIV virus, whether screening tests have been conducted, and whether confirmatory tests have been carried out. Only by considering these factors can we accurately determine whether someone has HIV.

AIDS is a type of disease.

AIDS is primarily caused by infection with the HIV virus, which then proliferates massively in the body. The HIV virus destroys the human immune system, leading to a significant decline in the CD4T lymphocyte system and immune function. After the loss of immune function, a series of opportunistic infections and opportunistic tumors can occur. Therefore, AIDS is actually an acquired immunodeficiency disease, mainly transmitted through sexual contact, as well as mother-to-child transmission and blood transmission.

Can kissing transmit AIDS?

If it is deep kissing and the other person is HIV-positive, there is still a certain risk, but the overall risk is relatively low. Of course, the specific risk needs to be assessed based on the actual situation. If there is bleeding gums or oral diseases, then the risk will increase. If there is no bleeding gums, the risk may be even lower. HIV is mainly transmitted through sexual contact, primarily through unprotected vaginal or anal intercourse, and can also be transmitted through blood and from mother to child.

How much is the AIDS blocking drug?

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.
