==Revised World Health Organization (WHO) Clinical Staging of HIV/AIDS For Adults and Adolescents (2005)==
(This is the interim [[Africa]]n Region version for persons aged 15 years or more who have had a positive HIV antibody test or other laboratory evidence of HIV infection)
(It must be noted that the [[UN]] defines adolescents as persons aged 10−19 years but for surveillance purposes, the category of adults and adolescents comprises people aged 15 years and over)
 
===Primary HIV infection===
*Asymptomatic
*Acute retroviral syndrome
 
===Clinical stage 1===
*Asymptomatic
*Persistent generalized [[lymphadenopathy]]
 
===Clinical stage 2===
*Moderate and unexplained weight loss (<10% of presumed or measured body weight)
*Recurrent respiratory tract infections (such as [[sinus]]itis, [[bronchitis]], [[otitis]] media, [[pharyngitis]])
*[[Herpes zoster]]
*Recurrent oral ulcerations
*Papular pruritic eruptions
*Angular cheilitis
*Seborrhoeic dermatitis
*Fungal finger nail infections
 
===Clinical stage 4===
 
'''''Conditions where a presumptive diagnosis can be made on the basis of clinical signs or simple investigations'''''
*HIV wasting syndrome
*Pneumocystis pneumonia
*Recurrent severe or radiological bacterial pneumonia
*Chronic herpes simplex infection (orolabial, genital or anorectal of more than one month’s duration)
*Oesophageal candidiasis
*Extrapulmonary Tuberculosis
*Kaposi’s sarcoma
*Central nervous system toxoplasmosis
*HIV encephalopathy
 
'''''Conditions where confirmatory diagnostic testing is necessary'''''
*Extrapulmonary cryptococcosis including meningitis
*Disseminated non-tuberculous mycobacteria infection
*Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy
*Candida of trachea, bronchi or lungs
*Cryptosporidiosis
*Isosporiasis
*Visceral herpes simplex infection
*Cytomegalovirus ([[CMV]]) infection (retinitis or of an organ other than liver, spleen or lymph nodes)
*Any disseminated mycosis (e.g. histoplasmosis, coccidiomycosis, penicilliosis)
*Recurrent non-typhoidal salmonella septicaemia
*Lymphoma (cerebral or B cell non-Hodgkin)
*Invasive cervical carcinoma
*Visceral leishmaniasis
 
==Original proposal in 1990==
===Clinical Stage I===
* Asymptomatic
* Generalised lymphadenopathy
 
Performance scale: 1: asymptomatic, normal activity.
 
===Clinical Stage II===
* Weight loss, < 10% of body weight
* Minor mucocutaneous manifestations (seborrheic dermatitis, [[prurigo]], fungal nail infections, recurrent oral ulcerations, angular cheilitis)
* [[Herpes zoster]] within the last five years
* Recurrent upper respiratory tract infections (i.e. bacterial sinusitis)
 
And/or performance scale 2: symptomatic, normal activity.
 
===Clinical Stage III===
* Weight loss, > 10% of body weight
* Unexplained chronic [[diarrhoea]] > 1 month
* Unexplained prolonged fever (intermittent or constant), > 1 month
* Oral [candidiasis] ([thrush])
* Oral hairy [[leucoplakia]]
* [[Tuberculosis|Pulmonary tuberculosis]]
* Severe [[bacteria|bacterial]] [[infections]] (i.e. [[pneumonia]], [[pyomyositis]])
 
And/or performance scale 3: bedridden < 50% of the day during last month.
 
===Clinical Stage IV===
''The declaration of AIDS''
* HIV wasting syndrome *
* [[Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia|Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia]]
* [[Toxoplasmosis]] of the brain
* [[Cryptosporidiosis]] with diarrhoea > 1 month
* [[Cryptococcosis]], extrapulmonary
* [[Cytomegalovirus]] disease of an organ other than [[liver]], [[spleen]] or [[lymph node]] (ex: retinitis)
* [[Herpes simplex virus]] infection, mucocutaneous (>1 month) or visceral
* Progressive multifocal [[leucoencephalopathy]]
* Any disseminated endemic mycosis
* [[Candidiasis]] of esophagus, trachea, bronchi
* Atypical mycobacteriosis, disseminated or lungs
* Non-typhoid [[Salmonella]] [[septicemia]]
* [[Extrapulmonary tuberculosis]]
* [[Lymphoma]]
* [[Kaposi's sarcoma]]
* HIV encephalopathy **
 
And/or performance scale 4: bedridden > 50% of the day during last month.
 
(*) HIV wasting syndrome: weight loss of > 10% of body weight, plus either unexplained chronic diarrhoea (> 1 month) or chronic weakness and unexplained prolonged fever (> 1 month).
 
(**) HIV encephalopathy: clinical findings of disabling cognitive and/or motor dysfunction interfering with activities of daily living, progressing over weeks to months, in the absence of a concurrent illness or condition other than HIV infection which could explain the findings.
