What is active viruses?

Active viruses are those viruses that are currently infecting a host and are actively replicating and spreading. They are in contrast to inactive or latent viruses, which are not currently replicating and may persist in a host for a long time without causing any symptoms.

Active viruses can cause a wide range of symptoms, depending on the type of virus and the host it infects. Some common symptoms of active viral infections include fever, chills, muscle aches, fatigue, and headache. In some cases, viral infections can also cause more serious symptoms, such as pneumonia, meningitis, or encephalitis.

Active viruses are typically spread through contact with an infected person or animal, through the air, or through contaminated food or water. Some viruses can also be spread through sexual contact or through blood transfusions.

The best way to prevent active viral infections is to avoid exposure to the viruses that cause them. This can be done by practicing good hygiene, such as washing your hands frequently, avoiding contact with people who are sick, and avoiding contaminated food and water. Some viral infections can also be prevented by getting vaccinated.

If you think you may have an active viral infection, it's important to see your doctor so that you can be diagnosed and treated. Early diagnosis and treatment can help to reduce the severity of symptoms and prevent complications.
