What is the incubation period for the common cold?

For hiv/aids what's the incubation period like when the symptons are apparent ?

  • for hiv/aids what's the incubation period [this is the period when it strikes the person to when the symptons are apparent] thanks in advance!

  • Answer:

    After a person is infected with HIV there is enough of the virus in their body to infect someone with in 4-6 hours, but it may not show up on a HIV test for up to 3 months. IF a person does not test and they are infected it could take 10-12 years for any symptoms. And at this time it is much more difficult to get things under control.

Most people who have HIV have no symptoms for several years. Few people have flu-like symptoms within a few months after infection. Because most people have no symptoms, the ONLY way to find out if you are infected is to get tested. You can not tell if someone is infected just by looking at them. More than 98% of people who have HIV would test positive within 3 months, but in very rare cases, it could take up to 6 months for someone to test positive. Important: Once someone is infected, they CAN transmit the virus to others, even if they themselves do not have symptoms, and even if they do not yet test positive.
