Detailed explanation-1: -AIDS is the most advanced stage of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus). People with HIV may have symptoms in the very beginning of their infection, like swollen glands, fever, headaches, or muscle soreness. You may not have any symptoms at all for up to 10 years.
Detailed explanation-2: -After initial exposure and possible primary infection, HIV may transition to the clinically latent infection stage. 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: -While in this resting state, the infected cells do not produce new virus. HIV can hide inside these cells for years, forming a latent HIV reservoir but, at any time, cells in the latent reservoir can become active again and start making more virus.
