Description

HIV disease clinical stage 1 is characterized by the absence of severe symptoms or opportunistic infections. Patients may present with mild symptoms or be asymptomatic, but they are still considered to be living with HIV. This stage is crucial for monitoring and early intervention.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that patients may refer to HIV in various ways, but it is important to use the formal term provided in clinical settings. Avoid colloquial terms that may not accurately convey the seriousness of the condition. Be cautious of regional variations in terminology that could lead to misunderstandings.

Example Sentences

ES: El paciente fue diagnosticado con enfermedad del VIH en estadio clínico 1 sin mencionar la tuberculosis o la malaria.

Common Interpreter Mistakes
