Abstract
After successful invasion of HIV into the human body, HIV antibody occurs within 4–8 weeks, followed by its incubation period lasting 2–10 years. During this period, HIV still replicates incessantly to compromise the immune system, with gradually decreasing CD4 T lymphocytes and infectivity. Even though the patients show no clinical symptoms, they, as HIV carriers, can spread the virus via various transmission routes.
