Many people have heard of AIDS, but they do not know its specific situation. Once the virus infects the human body, it will constantly destroy the immune function of the human body, but during this time, people will not have obvious symptoms, as usual. Until the immune system is destroyed and unable to resist the invasion of infectious viruses, people have already reached the late stage, and healing becomes extremely difficult. So people will have questions about whether they can check out AIDS during its incubation period to avoid future risks?
Test of AIDS incubation period
The period from AIDS virus infection to AIDS virus antibody production in the body is called window period. From the moment of infection with the HIV virus, within 3-6 months, it is called the window period. During this period, no blood tests can detect it, and the infected person is completely identical to a normal person, so it is unlikely that they will be confirmed to be infected. If you donate blood during this period, the blood station will tell you that it is completely normal, and your blood will also be used to save people. Of course, AIDS virus will enter into other people's bodies, and people who are transfused will also enter the window period.
At the same time, in the window period, the blood test of HIV infected persons could not detect AIDS virus antibody, and the result was negative. The length of the window period varies among individuals, usually ranging from 2 weeks to 6 weeks, with an average of 30 days (the window period for urine test strips is also 2-6 weeks). Only a few individuals have a window period of up to 3-6 months (but this chance is less than one in ten thousand).
In the infection stage, viral RNA appears first, which can be detected by PCR. IgM antibodies appear later, which can be detected by double antigen sandwich method. IgG antibodies appear later, which can be detected by indirect method. The gold label test strips currently available are double antigen sandwich method, which can detect at least 6 days after infection. The window period for most samples is within 2-4 weeks, and most people can be detected after 1 month. If high-risk behavior cannot be detected after 2 months, there is basically no possibility of infection.
From the moment of infection, after the window period of 6 months and 8-10 years, it is called the incubation period. During this period, the body did not respond, the same as normal people, but you can detect that you are infected with AIDS virus through AIDS virus testing. If blood is donated during this period, the blood station will detect it.
After the window period, it can be detected with AIDS test paper.
Although the incubation period of AIDS can be detected, it can also be seen that the procedure is also very troublesome, and it is not easy to make a diagnosis once or twice, so the tester needs to have enough patience, not to mention excessive worry. The focus of AIDS prevention is to avoid high-risk behaviors at any time. Cutting off risky sexual behavior, mother to child transmission, and blood transfusion can prevent infection, so friends do not need to worry too much.
