Patient's question:
I recently don't know what's going on, I have been feeling very uncomfortable downstairs, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. Please ask if the appearance of something itchy on the foreskin is a symptom of AIDS.Doctor's answer:
Many people infected with the HIV virus show no symptoms during the latent period, but some may experience symptoms such as fever, dizziness, weakness, sore throat, joint pain, rash, and generalized superficial lymphadenopathy in the early stages of infection, similar to symptoms of a cold. Some may also develop diarrhea. These symptoms usually last for 1–2 weeks and then disappear, after which the patient enters an asymptomatic latent period. During this period, the patient's blood contains the HIV virus, and an HIV antibody test shows a positive reaction. Such individuals are referred to as HIV carriers.Advice: The transmission of AIDS generally occurs through three routes: sexual contact, blood transmission, and mother-to-child transmission. If the other party is an HIV carrier, there is a possibility of infection. Saliva, clothing, and other substances contain only trace amounts of the virus and are generally not transmissible. Moreover, the HIV virus dies quickly once it leaves the human body.
