What do you mean by asymptomatic carrier with regards to AIDS
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
An asymptomatic carrier is a person or other organism that has become infected with a pathogen, but that displays no signs or symptoms.[1]
Although unaffected by the pathogen, carriers can transmit it to others or develop symptoms in later stages of the disease. Asymptomatic carriers play a critical role in the transmission of common infectious diseases such as typhoid, HIV, C. difficile, influenzas, cholera, tuberculosis and COVID-19,[2] although the last is often associated with "robust T-cell immunity" in more than a quarter of patients studied.[3] While the mechanism of disease-carrying is still unknown, researchers have made progress towards understanding how certain pathogens can remain dormant in a human for a period of time.[4] A better understanding of asymptomatic disease carriers is crucial to the fields of medicine and public health as they work towards mitigating the spread of common infectious diseases.
