HIV can be hidden long

Often because HIV-infected people can not tell the exact time of infection, so only from the emergence of symptoms or anti-serum-positive HIVHIV date, usually a few months to several years. From the incidence of HIV infection, among which is called the latency period of time, strictly speaking, the incubation period should include the window period after infection that is not detected in serum anti-HIV antibodies that period of time, usually two weeks to three months. As a result, when you have AIDS in high-risk groups (drug addicts, homosexuals, as well as heterosexual sexual promiscuity, blood transfusion of patients with long-term sexual partners was found HIV-positive) for the first time when the check was negative, must not be taken lightly, and must go through a period of time Review. Often because HIV-infected people can not tell the exact time of infection, so only from the emergence of symptoms or anti-serum-positive HIVHIV date, usually a few months to several years. The incubation period is generally true of 1 to 12 years, the average of six years. A small number of more than 12 years. All types of groups and individuals all have a difference: by contaminated blood or injection of contaminated blood products infected with the general incubation period of 4.5 years, about homosexuals for over three years. In the male homosexuals, 2% of the HIV incubation period of 2 years, 5% for 3 years, 4 to 8%, 23% for 6, 8 to 37%, 48% for 10 years.
