medicine, a disease is asymptomatic while the patient does not experience symptoms. Asymptomatic diseases may not be discovered until the patient undergoes medical tests (X-rays or other investigations).
Some diseases remain asymptomatic for a remarkably long time, including some forms of cancer.
A patient's individual genetic makeup may delay or prevent the onset of symptoms.
medicine, a disease is symptomatic when it is at a stage when the patient is experiencing symptoms. It is generally used in counterdistinction of asymptomatic (when the disease is inapparent).
Symptomatic treatment is the practice of treating a patient's symptoms, rather than the disease or injury itself.

It is possible but not for the same disease at the same time.
