Aids

There are no common symptoms for individuals diagnosed with AIDS. When immune system damage is more severe, people may experience opportunistic infections (called opportunistic because they are caused by organisms which cannot induce disease in people with normal immune systems, but take the "opportunity" to flourish in people with HIV). Most of these more severe infections, diseases and symptoms fall under the Centers for Disease Control's definition of full-blown "AIDS." The median time to receive an AIDS diagnosis among those infected with HIV is 7-10 years. The only way to determine whether you are infected is to be tested for HIV infection. You can't rely on symptoms to know whether or not you are infected with HIV. Many people who are infected with HIV don't have any symptoms at all for many years. Similarly, you can't rely on symptoms to establish that a person has AIDS. The symptoms associated with AIDS are similar to the symptoms of many other diseases. AIDS is a diagnosis made by a doctor based on specific criteria established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Some countries have special facilities where anyone can go and have a blood test for HIV. A blood test is like a snap shot of a person's status at that moment. More than one test may be needed to determine whether a person is HIV positive. People who think they may have HIV have to consider carefully whether or not they wish to be tested and should receive counselling beforehand to help them weigh the advantages and disadvantages. The test should be completely confidential and people should also receive counselling when they get the results to help them cope with the situation and make plans if they are HIV positive.
