2. Clinical manifestations: AIDS manifests itself in a variety of ways. In the acute stage, there may be fever, headache, night sweats, nausea, vomiting, enlarged lymph nodes, etc. In the asymptomatic stage, there may be no obvious symptoms. In the asymptomatic stage, there may be no obvious symptoms. In the AIDS stage, there may be fever, persistent generalized lymph node swelling and other related symptoms, and various opportunistic infections such as pneumonia and tumors.
3. Auxiliary examination: The gold standard for AIDS is a positive HIV-1/HIV-2 antibody test for the causative virus, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). It can also be verified by protein blotting test. In addition, there may be a progressive decrease in CD4+ T-lymphocytes and an inverted CD4+/CD8+ ratio.
Prompt medical attention is recommended in case of discomfort and suspected symptoms.
