IgE, IgM, IgG, immune complexes can deposit in tissues, leading to complement activation and inflammation. This
process can cause tissue damage and is associated with systemic lupus
erythematosus (SLE) and serum sickness.
Type 1 reactions are mediated by IgE antibodies, and type 2 are mediated by
IgG or IgM antibodies. Type 4 reactions are activated by T-helper cells.

The chronological order of the stages of human 1. Acute HIV infection:
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is After initial infection, the acute HIV infection stage occurs first, typically 2-3
weeks after infection, characterized by high viral replication and dissemination
throughout the body with the client potentially experiencing nonspecific flu-like
symptoms as the immune system begins to respond to the virus.
2. Clinical latency:
Clinical latency is the second stage of HIV infection, which can last for a year or
more. This stage is characterized by low levels of HIV replication and persistent
immune activation, with CD4+ helper T cell counts gradually declining. The client
may not experience symptoms during this stage.
3. AIDS:
AIDS is the final and most severe stage of infection, where the immune system is
badly damaged. AIDS is characterized by a CD4+ T cell count below 200
cells/mm3 with the body becoming vulnerable to opportunistic infections,
opportunistic malignancies, and neurological complications. Without treatment,
survival time averages 3 years.
