• After a cute infection,this virus appears to
  become dormant, and the person feels normal.
• This stage of HIV may last an average of 8 to 10
  years, but it can vary among individuals and
  strains of HIV.

  to multiply actively.

  cells, a type of white blood cell called as CD4

  disease.
• Sometimes, the diagnosis of AIDS is made because
  of the person has unusual infections that signal
  how weak the immune system is.

  called opportunistic infections because they take
  advantage of the opportunity to infect a weakened
  host.

  antibiotic prophylaxis to prevent certain
  opportunistic infections from occurring. The
  AIDS-defining infections includes following
