In the earliest stage of an HIV infection the symptoms are identical to the flu, but once it enters the asymptomatic stage there are no symptoms until it becomes active again and the immune system begins to fail.
That is why it is called the asymptomatic stage (i.e. without symptoms).

What is Primary Koch?

Primary Koch refers to the initial stage of tuberculosis (TB) infection, specifically when the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis first enters the body and begins to multiply. This stage is often asymptomatic, meaning individuals may not show symptoms, but they can still spread the infection. Primary Koch typically affects the lungs but can involve other organs as well. If not treated, it can progress to more severe forms of TB, such as pulmonary tuberculosis.

What are the three stages of AIDS?

STAGES OF HIV Acute HIV Syndrome * First stage seroconversion * virus rapidly spreads to organs, especially the lymphoid tissues * HIV virus not very aggressive in causing diseases or severe symptoms Asymptomatic State * infection is latent * virus starts to grow and multiply in the lymph nodes Symptomatic Disease/AIDS * Viremia (spread of virus in the blood) * Loss of immune system, mainly due to infection of CD4+ T-Lymphocytes End stage Disease * immune system collapses * virus continues to slowly destroy the Immune System for up to 10 years * usually an opportunistic infection is the cause of death Without treatment, the average time from infection to AIDS is eight to eleven years.Without treatment, 78/100 percent of Hiv-infected people will develop AIDS within fifteen years of infection.

Which describes the stage of HIV infection that occurs when a persons immune system is severely weakened?

The stage of HIV infection when a person's immune system is severely weakened is known as Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). At this stage, the body becomes highly vulnerable to opportunistic infections and certain cancers due to the significant depletion of CD4 T cells, which are crucial for immune response. Individuals with AIDS often experience severe symptoms and complications, marking the late stage of HIV infection. Without proper treatment, this stage can lead to life-threatening conditions.
