Detailed explanation-1: -During this phase, HIV will go into hiding, where it resides in various cells and tissues throughout the body in a dormant state known as latency. HIV latency can persist without symptoms for 10 years or more, although some people may experience signs within a year or two.
Detailed explanation-2: -Latency can cause a break in symptoms Due to a lack of symptoms in some people, this is also referred to as asymptomatic HIV infection. According to HIV.gov, latency in HIV infection can last up to 10 or 15 years.
Detailed explanation-3: -After the initial symptoms disappear, HIV may not cause any further symptoms for many years. During this time, the virus continues to be active and causes progressive damage to your immune system. This process can vary from person to person, but may take up to 10 years, during which you’ll feel and appear well.
Detailed explanation-4: -Summary: HIV can lie dormant in infected cells for years, even decades. Scientists think unlocking the secrets of this viral reservoir may make it possible to cure, not just treat, HIV. Researchers have gained new insight on which immune cells likely do, and do not, harbor this latent virus.
