Since most diseases have an incubation period, there are 2 possible answers here. the infection happens on contact but the symptoms will not show until the disease has incubated.
It is also highly possible to be infested with a disease, including HIV & Chlamydia, high blood pressure, Heart disease, cancer, typhoid and many more & not show any symptoms.
That leads to the term that someone is a "Carrier" of a disease. Carriers, were often infected with a disease & went on with life unknowing, but able to spread it to others.

The main difference is that they are two different types of microscopic organisms that cause the diseases and they symptoms are quite different as well as the mode of infection.
What is the difference between latent infection and inapparent infection?
An inapparent infection occurs when a susceptible person is exposed to an agent, is consequently infected, but neverdevelops clinical symptoms (subclinical). An inapparent infection may result in immunity - but they may not develop immunity and could even become a carrier.In contrast, an exposed susceptible person may develop symptoms (clinical infection), but later enter a period where they no longer exhibit those symptoms. This person would be said to have a "latent infection". They have not recovered - they are still infected -- and they might start to exhibit clinical symptoms later.Exposed ---- Infected ------ no symptoms --------------------------------------> Resolution INAPPARENT INFECTIONExposed ---- Infected ----- symptoms ----no symptoms ---- symptoms ----> Resolution|< Latent Infection>|- Dominick A.

How might a person with AIDS be different from a person who is not infected?
To clarify slightly, nowadays researchers and medical professionals refer to those infected with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus as being "HIV Positive." "AIDS" (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) refers to an HIV-positive person who displays symtoms. In short, there is normally a "transitional" stage between a non-infected person and a person with AIDS, that stage being the person who is infected but has yet to display any symptoms -- HIV-positive. The most striking difference between those with AIDS and those without is that the person with AIDS has a weakened (or "compromised") immune system, because the HI virus attacks the white blood cells that are key to the human body's defence against infection, cancers and other illnesses.
What is the incubation period for the viral infection and how does it impact the spread of the disease"?
The incubation period for a viral infection is the time between exposure to the virus and the onset of symptoms. A longer incubation period can make it harder to track and contain the spread of the disease because infected individuals may not show symptoms right away and can unknowingly transmit the virus to others.
