The document outlines the clinical stages of HIV/AIDS from primary infection through asymptomatic stages to advanced stages involving various opportunistic infections and cancers. It lists common conditions associated with each stage such as lymphadenopathy in Stage 2, weight loss and fevers in Stage 3, and infections like PCP, CMV, toxoplasmosis in Stage 4. The stages progress from asymptomatic to life-threatening illnesses as immune function declines without treatment.
