Patients with AIDS, after receiving standardized anti-tuberculosis treatment, suppressing the virus, and largely restoring normal immune function and physical state, can actually marry and have children normally. Legally, there is no prohibition against people with HIV/AIDS from getting married. AIDS is not a disease that prevents marriage. Therefore, people with HIV/AIDS can marry normally once the condition and virus are under control, but they should engage in sexual activity and pregnancy under the guidance of an experienced infectious disease doctor.

Is AIDS a terminal illness?

AIDS is not a terminal disease. AIDS patients undergoing systematic and standardized long-term antiretroviral therapy can suppress the virus to undetectable levels over the long term, preventing damage to the immune system or allowing an already damaged immune system to gradually recover to a state close to normal. Long-term antiviral therapy can maintain the body's indicators at essentially normal levels, making it unlikely to experience opportunistic infections or opportunistic tumors, and it is possible to live a normal lifespan. It is crucial for AIDS patients to receive timely and correct treatment, including long-term antiviral therapy.

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.

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.

Watery stools in early stage of AIDS

The appearance of watery stools does not necessarily indicate the early stages of AIDS. It could be viral gastroenteritis or food intolerance. It is not feasible to diagnose AIDS based solely on the symptom of watery stools, as AIDS symptoms are not very typical or specific. To rule out or confirm an AIDS infection, one can undergo HIV antibody or nucleic acid testing. In the early stages of AIDS, HIV nucleic acid testing is often able to detect the infection.

Is AIDS yin or yang?

If HIV is contracted, after the window period, screening through HIV antibody tests or HIV nucleic acid tests will mostly yield positive results. If the HIV antibody test is positive, an HIV infection can be diagnosed. Once an HIV infection is confirmed, systematic and standardized antiretroviral therapy should be initiated. Systematic and standardized antiretroviral therapy can effectively suppress the virus to undetectable levels, eliminate infectiousness, gradually enhance immunity, and allow one to live a normal lifespan.
