Stage 1: Primary HIV Infection
This stage of infection lasts a few weeks and feels like the flu. During this stage there is a large amount of HIV in the blood and
the body begins to respond.

This stage lasts for an average of ten years and is free from major symptoms, although there may be swollen glands. HIV
level is low but people are infectious.

Over time the immune system becomes severely damaged by HIV.

Goals of Antiretroviral Therapy
Control of viral replication
Prevention or delay of progressive immunodeficiency
Delayed progression to AIDS
Prolonged Survival
Decreased selection of resistant virus
