The Bottom Line

Symptom observation

This approach waits for active infections and disease to occur. In HIV, this means watching out for such things as thrush, pneumocystis, KS lesions and so on.

Advantages
It is easier to believe and take action when we are faced with an obvious illness. People who feel sick usually want to treat the illness as soon as possible.

Disadvantages
HIV may progress before symptoms appear. By the time symptoms appear, options for treating the problem may be less effective because the body is left with only limited defenses.
