HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection may produce no clinical symptoms for 10 years on average. However, after many years of infection most people develop symptoms that indicate progression of the disease. There are no regular characteristic symptoms or early stage, and no logical sequence of AIDS indicator disorders has been observed. People who are not aware of the infection are referred to physicians of various specializations, including otolaryngologists. It is on their knowledge about HIV infections, among other factors, that early diagnosis of the disease depends. Appropriate and quick introduction of anti-retroviral drugs may let a person with HIV live decades longer.
HIV(人类免疫缺陷病毒)感染平均可在 10 年内无临床症状。然而,感染多年后,大多数人会出现表明疾病进展的症状。没有规律的特征性症状或早期阶段,也没有观察到艾滋病指标障碍的逻辑顺序。未意识到感染的人会被转诊到包括耳鼻喉科医生在内的各种专科医生处就诊。早期诊断疾病取决于他们对 HIV 感染的了解,以及其他因素。适当且快速地引入抗逆转录病毒药物可能会使 HIV 感染者的寿命延长数十年。
