How long can a parasite go undetected in a human?

The duration that a parasite can go undetected in a human can vary depending on the type of parasite, the individual's immune response, and the presence of symptoms. Some parasites can remain undetected for years, while others may cause symptoms sooner. Regular medical check-ups and appropriate screening can help detect parasites early.


How do you remain undetected?

It would be impossible to stay undetected. Everywhere you go, you will be seen either by people, speed cameras or other things. You will also leave behind hair/ fibres or fingerprints that can be traced back to you. You can run, but you certainly cannot hide.


What type of pathogen is HIV caused by?

"Pathogen" means something that causes sickness (path- = suffering, gen- = creation). "HIV" stands for "Human Immunodeficiency Virus," which is a virus which sometimes, in time, causes the disease AIDS ("Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome"). In other words, HIV is the pathogen, and being infected by HIV is the cause of the disease AIDS.The best ways to avoid being infected by HIV is never ever to share needles for drugs, and never ever to have penetrative sex without a condom. If you steer clear of those, as long as you live in part of the world where HIV isn't endemic, you are likely safe from HIV.There is no cure for HIV infection or AIDS, but there are very effective treatments.

Does HIV antibodies go away after some time?

No. HIV is a retrovirus that infects its host's DNA lysogenically (inserting its own genome into the host genome after reverse-transcripting into DNA). Therefore, it stays in your cells' DNA forever. However, you can suppress HIV symptoms and keep them at bay with many of the "HIV cocktails" (combinations of protease inhibitors, etc. that prevent the virus from replicating).
