Discussion on chronic progress phase of HIV / 中华中医药杂志

ABSTRACT

In view of the fact that the current concept of asymptomatic period of HIV infection can not express the disease development in this period accurately,and easily lead to ambiguity,the author proposed the concept of‘chronic progress phase’on basis of long-term clinical and scientific research.The author thought that the so-called asymptomatic period of HIV infection had many signs and symptoms of clinical significance,besides the syndrome can be identified,thus it was of great significance for the diagnosis and treatment of AIDS.The concept of‘chronic progress phase’being in accordance with the actual disease evolution,was a more scientific appellation and had been widely accepted by the industry.
