StaGES OF HIV

1. Primary HIV infection
Flu-like symptoms that last a few weeks
This is when the body begins to create CD4 antibodies to fight the HIV virus

2. Clinical Asymptomatic Stage
Asymptomatic: does not currently show symptoms of the disease being discussed
Can last for an average of 10 years
HIV is present and active in blood.

3. Symptomatic HIV infection
Immune system becomes weak
Opportunistic infections/diseases occur
These diseases and infections would not cause harm to a normal person, but can be fatal for someone with a weak immune system

4. Progression from HIV to AIDS
This is the fatal stage of HIV
The immune system is almost destroyed
The illness becomes more severe and you are diagnosed with AIDS
People DO NOT die from AIDS but from an opportunistic disease/infection

Those with the virus may or may not show any symptoms!

The HIV Test

How the test works
The HIV test looks for HIV antibodies in a person’s blood. NOT FOR AIDS.
If you have enough of the antibodies, your test will be positive, which means you have been infected with HIV
If you do not have the antibodies (or enough of them), your test will be negative, and this could mean one of two things:
You do not have HIV
OR
You have been infected but your body has not made enough antibodies for the test to detect them.

The window period
It takes about 3 months after HIV infection for people to develop antibodies to HIV.
It is best to wait at least three months after the last time you could have been exposed to HIV before taking the test.
Even if your test is negative after 3 months, some test centers may recommend testing again at 6 months, just to be extra sure.

Types of Testing

Home Testing Kits
1.Purchase kit from a local pharmacy.
2. Take your own sample (usually blood sample)
3. Send it off to a laboratory for testing.
4. After a few days, the person will call in, with a personal identification code to receive results.

There are many home test kits out that are not approved by the FDA which potentially can lead to unreliable results.
The testing kit may be expensive (~ $80.00)

Some testing centers require that a patient provide their name and a mailing address.
