Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) can lie dormant for varying lengths of time, depending on the specific infection. For example, HIV can remain asymptomatic for years, while chlamydia and gonorrhea may not show symptoms for several weeks to months. Other STDs, like herpes, can have periods of latency and flare-ups over a lifetime. Regular testing and awareness of potential symptoms are essential for early detection and treatment.
The answer differs from one disease to the next.
Chlamydia is one of the most common diseases. It's not the worst sexually transmitted disease, as it won't kill you. It can cause long-term complications.
Latent diseases are infections that remain inactive or dormant in the body for long periods before becoming active. Examples include tuberculosis, which can stay asymptomatic in the lungs, and herpes simplex virus, which can lie dormant in nerve cells. Other examples are HIV, which can remain undetected for years, and varicella-zoster virus, responsible for chickenpox and later shingles. These diseases can reactivate under certain conditions, such as stress or immunocompromised states.
You can protect yourself from the air borne infections by using the mask and avoiding to stay with patients for long period, in closed space, specially.
Eyjafjallajökull, a volcano in Iceland, had been dormant for about 190 years before it erupted in 2010.
Some volcanoes are active, while others are dormant.
It is said to be dormant.
We say they are dormant.
A dormant volcano.
A volcano that is quiet for a long time but may erupt again is known as a dormant volcano. Dormant volcanoes are inactive for a significant period of time but still have the potential to become active and erupt in the future.
A flower seed becomes dormant over the passage of time. Flower seeds that sit over a long time and becomes dried out and shriveled, it will cease to be effective and will turn dormant.
This type of volcano is described as dormant. Another level is inactive. This describes a volcano for which there is no record of eruption (unlike dormant), and the volcano's shape and structure is beginning to change due to weathering and erosion.
