STAGES OF HIV INFECTION

A
42
Q

early, general symptoms of disease (lymphadenopathy with fever, rash, sore
throat, night sweats, candidiasis. Patient is termed HIV positive. May still be able to
seroconvert .CD4 cells begin to drop

A

Stage 2

43
Q

severe symptoms, often leading to death – increasing destruction of helper
T cells, decline in immune function. When CD4 drops to 200 cells/mm3 below, severe
opportunistic infections and other system symptoms appear

A

Stage 4

44
Q

moderate symptoms – infection progresses, and opportunistic infection
begins

A

Stage 3

45
Q

asymptomatic infection (Few weeks to months after exposure)

A

Stage 1

46
Q

What are the GOALS OF HAART

A
  1. Decrease viral load to
    undetectable levels
  2. Preserve and increase number of
    CD4+ T cells
  3. Prevent resistance
  4. Have client in good clinical
    condition
  5. Prevent secondary infections and
    cancers
47
Q

what are the circulatory system has two primary functions

A

(1) delivery of oxygen, nutrients,
hormones, electrolytes, and other
essentials to cells and
(2) removal of carbon dioxide and
metabolic wastes from cells. In
addition, the system helps fight
infection
