A point in a disease process where no symptoms are present.

Example: During initial infection with HIV ( the virus that causes AIDS) there is an initial asymptomatic stage where the individual experiences no signs or symptoms of HIV. Once the virus destroys the immune system enough, symptoms begin too occur such as becoming sick frequently or night sweats.
