The acute phase of HIV infection is when a person is infected with HIV (AIDS virus) and a few people experience a brief period of viremia within 2 to 6 weeks, resulting in fever, diarrhea, rash, swollen lymph nodes, etc. These symptoms are transient and disappear on their own in about 5 to 6 days.
However, the rate of acute infection symptoms among infected people is very small, and some data show that about 2 out of 100 infected people have acute infection symptoms. Moreover, the emergence of such acute infection symptoms is obtained through retrospective investigation of infected individuals.
Some people who have had high-risk behaviors, after learning about the symptoms of “acute infection”, are very likely to have the psychology of “sitting on the right number”, and under the influence of this psychology, there may be some physical changes. It is not scientific to judge whether you are infected with HIV by the symptoms of “acute infection”. Only after a period of time, it is scientific to do HIV antibody test. If the antibody test is negative, it means that you are not infected, but if the antibody test is positive after confirmation, it means that you are infected with HIV.
