Greetings,

 

I’ll try to be concise/precise with my questions. If I can, I’d like to expand on question #3944. Focusing on the immune system – with all other factors that play a role in viral infection considered, it is my understanding that immune function causes the symptoms we experience whether it being discharge of mucous, pain or inflamed areas, and/or fever, etc., not the virus itself. Are the measures taken in immune reaction principally dependent on viral load in the tissue space it occupies or in the cells that are susceptible to infection? Without considering weak or strong immune reaction, does asymptomatic immune reaction imply minimal or less severe exposure or infection(s)? I hope I made sense with my questions.

 

Thank you,

Michael 

Correction (last sentence): "Without considering weak or strong (and over-active) immune system, does asymptomatic immune reaction imply minimal or less severe exposure or infection(s)? I hope I made sense with my questions."

I'm sorry, but this is your tenth or so question, almost all of them -- as Dr. Hook observed not too long ago -- requesting arcane details about STDs and their transmission that have little or no apparent relationship to your actual risks. This is not the appropriate venue. And you certainly cannot expect the moderators to go back and read a rather detailed thread from five years ago and expand on the details. You can do your own independent web searching about such things like the details of the immune response to various exposures or infections. And frankly, I have no idea whether "asymptomatic immune reaction [implies] minimal or less severe exposure or infection" -- and I don't see that it matters. Maybe intellectual interest, but filling gaps in people's general knowledge is not the forum's intent. ---
