Fact 7: Stages of HIV

Fact 7: The are three stages for HIV: acute HIV infection, chronic HIV infection, and AIDS.
Acute HIV infection is the earliest stage of HIV. Acute HIV infection generally develops within 2 to 4 weeks after a person is infected with HIV.
The second stage of HIV infection is chronic HIV infection (also called asymptomatic HIV infection or clinical latency.) During this stage of the disease, HIV continues to multiply in the body but at very low levels.
AIDS is the final stage of HIV infection. Because HIV has destroyed the immune system, the body can’t fight off opportunistic infections and cancer. (Examples of opportunistic infections include pneumonia and tuberculosis.) AIDS is diagnosed when a person with HIV has a CD4 count of less than 200 cells/mm3 and/or one or more opportunistic infections. Without treatment, people with AIDS typically survive about 3 years.
