The formal AIDS diagnosis now includes all HIV-infected adults and adolescents with a CD4 T-cell count below 200 or who have been diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis, invasive cervical cancer, recurrent pneumonia, HIV encephalopathy, chronic isosporiasis, disseminated histoplasmosis, wasting syndrome, or other conditions.

Les patients entrent alors dans la phase symptomatique précoce. Cette phase peut durer de quelques mois à plusieurs années et elle est caractérisée par une chute rapide des numérations des lymphocytes T-CD4 (500-200 cellules par mm3) et par des infections opportunistes qui ne menacent pas la vie du malade.
