stages

• stages unknown
Cases with no information on CD4+ T-lymphocyte count or percentage
• stages 3
the person is considered to have AIDS for surveillance purposes
stage 3 when the count drops below 200 cells/mm3 of blood
• stages 2
CD4+ T-lymphocyte cells are between 200 and 499
• stages 1
CD4+ T-cell counts drop to 500 to 1,500 cells/mm3 of blood
• stages 1, 2, and 3
based on the CD4+ T-lymphocyte count.
• Stage 0
The period from infection with HIV to the development of HIV-specific antibodies
primary - acute infection

precautions

Not donate blood, plasma, body organs, or sperm.
Avoid having unprotected sex with another HIV-seropositive person
risk for cross-infection
if patient is positive HIV
Inform previous, present, and prospective sexual and drug-using partners of their HIV-positive status
Take ART regularly to achieve viral suppression.
Consider pre-exposure prophylaxis if regularly engage in high-risk behaviors.
Avoid sharing needles, razors, toothbrushes, sex toys

mode of transmission

anal and vaginal sexual intercourse
sharing needles, syringes, or other drug injection equipment.
blood transfusions
mother to child

transmitted in body fluids
blood, seminal fluid, vaginal secretions, amniotic fluid, and breast milk that contain infected cells.
