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.

Is AIDS scary?

AIDS, also known as Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, can be understood literally as a sexually transmitted disease characterized primarily by severe immune deficiency caused by HIV infection. Once it develops into AIDS, it ultimately leads to death due to various opportunistic infections and secondary tumors. It spreads very quickly and has a high mortality rate. Currently, there is no effective treatment, making it one of the main lethal infectious diseases in humans. Therefore, AIDS is currently considered terrifying.

How to test for AIDS?

If you suspect you might have HIV for various reasons, or if you have had high-risk sexual behaviors, we generally recommend that patients go to a formal hospital and have a blood test for HIV screening. It's usually best to get tested between 1 and 2 months after potential exposure. If the test is negative, HIV can generally be ruled out. If the sexual behavior was high-risk, then another test can be conducted at the end of the third month. If there is frequent high-risk sexual activity, then another follow-up test can be done at six months. If all tests are negative, HIV can be ruled out. If a test is positive, further confirmatory tests should be done at a disease control center.

Is the HIV test paper accurate?

The test papers for AIDS, whether domestically produced or imported, have an accuracy rate exceeding 90%, with some even reaching 95% to 97% or more. As for the accuracy of these results, the key depends on two factors: first, whether the testing method you use is accurate, and second, whether the testing is conducted after the window period has passed.

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.
