Prevention of HIV/AIDS

Prevention of HIV/AIDS In order to prevent HIV infection and AIDS immune compromised, you need to have a good explanation and prophylactic referral information. Therefore it is very important advice and explanation about AIDS. Although AIDS has been known for almost 30 years, the population is still large gaps on the subject, especially in relation to knowledge and the risks of HIV transmission. Relationships with adults infected with HIV HIV is transmitted through blood, semen and #vaginal secretions. However, infection with spread of airborne pathogens is not possible, as in the case of cold diseases. Therefore, the risk of infection by treatment with AIDS or infected with HIV is very low: • Social contact in both work and personal lives, as handshakes, hugs and the like, is completely harmless. • The same goes to say for common use of cutlery, crockery, glasses, toilets or towels, also harmless. • There is no evidence of increased risk of infection for people who share the same home or the patient environment. However, some precautions should always be taken into account, for example, do not share the toothbrush or razor, because in case of injury to perform these functions there may be a small risk of infection. Intimate relationships hide itself a risk of infection, regardless of whether they are heterosexual or homosexual. The fundamental basis for reliable protection against HIV infection and AIDS remains the consistent use of condoms, that is, the safer sex . Safe sex: condoms protect The basic rules for having a sex safe are blood, semen or vaginal secretions must not reach wounds or open areas of skin or mucosa of sexual partner. Therefore, it is important to use condoms , both anal and vaginal . No condoms, the risk of infection is high, since during intercourse always small lesions can occur. In the case of oral sex is important to prevent both sperm and vaginal secretions come in contact with the oral mucosa, lips or tongue of the couple. If these precautions are taken into account, they can keep sex without any problems. Add that kissing is also harmless. The condom is a widely used method of contraception among young people today. In a 2010 survey singles between 16 and 44 years, only one in ten said physical strength to use condoms; in 1989, the ratio was one in five respondents. This greater acceptance brings added one more advantage is that more and more people are protected and protect others from infection with HIV and other STDs. In 2009, seven out of ten respondents from a group between 16 and 20 years said carrying condoms. Among sexually active people, this increases even eight out of ten. More important than having the intention of having a practice safe sex is really using condoms. Between 2004 and 2009 amounted proportion (61 to 70%) of sexually active people (between 16 and 20 years) who always or very often used condoms? But also in the new relations plays an important role on safe sex : in 2010, 85% of men and 89% of women used condoms at the beginning of a new relationship.

What is HIV AIDS

AIDS and HIV are not the same. The HIV abbreviation indicating the pathogen that causes the disease AIDS: the human immunodeficiency virus. HIV infection can lead, after an evolution of years in the AIDS disease, immunodeficiency. The abbreviation AIDS stands for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS English: Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome ). HIV is spread primarily through sexual intercourse, but can also provoke the blood products infected and used syringes exchanged among drug addicts. The person infected with HIV is called HIV positive and AIDS can get sick later. After days or months of being infected with HIV, there may be an acute HIV disease. The symptomsresemble those of influenza infection and seem to disappear after a few days or weeks. Then the person can be years or even decades without any discomfort. The transmission of HIV can occur in various ways: • Sexually . • By infected syringes, as when the drug addicts to inject objects exchanged. • For blood products and medical devices not disinfected. Talking about AIDS infection is wrong with strict sense, since what is transmitted is the HIV virus (HIV) which need not always lead to AIDS. To determine if an infection of HIV , you can perform the so-called HIV test . This is an antibody test: in the event that there are antibodies against the HIV virus in the blood , it is assumed that also HIV virus in the body, so the test is positive. Hence the idea of saying someone is "HIV positive" arises.For safe test result, should have happened, after possible infection, at least three months prior to take Pap smear. This is the time about need the body to create antibodies to try it. In the language of the street is often referred to HIV testing as evidence of AIDS, which is not correct, because the test does not determine the AIDS disease but merely makes it clear that what is in the body are virus antibodies HIV. In the subsequent development of an HIV infection itself may increase the characteristic symptoms in certain circumstances give way to the eruption of AIDS. If AIDS is very clear, affected obviously lose weight, suffer more frequently infectious diseases that a healthy person may develop certain forms of cancer that are typical and characteristic of AIDS (so-called AIDS indicator diseases). AIDS is a disease with a chronic course. Advances in research has succeeded in turning this disease into a chronic process, thanks to new drugs that prevent the virus from spreading through the body, thus delaying the onset of AIDS . Therefore, the disease is treatable although not curable .

AIDS and HIV define different states: • AIDS is the abbreviation of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. • HIV is HIV. HIV is the pathogen of AIDS. An infection with the HIV virus, HIV, can lead to years in an immunodeficient AIDS. It is considered that a person is HIV positive when you have the HIV virus. "Positive" means that there are certain antibodiesin the blood and the body's response to HIV. That is, in this context, "positive" has the meaning of "good". Last few days to three months finishes later becoming infected with HIV, there may be an acute HIV disease: the clinical picture of the disease resembles an influenza infection , ie a cold . The symptoms of acute HIV disease seem to have disappeared after a few days or weeks, by which the person can continue having it for years and even decades latently without suffering discomfort. Therefore, HIV infection is rather a chronic rather than an acute life-threatening, at least in countries with good healthcare, that appropriate treatment can lead a normal life with some limitations. AIDS, however, remains a deadly disease . Therefore, today as yesterday, is still very important to take safety measures (such as safe sex, ie use condoms ) to prevent HIV infection and thus AIDS.

Symptoms of HIV

Early Stage Of Hiv---- Some people may experience a flu-like illness within 2-4 weeks after HIV infection. But some people may not feel sick during this stage. Flu-like symptoms can include: • Fever • Chills • Rash • Night sweats • Muscle aches • Sore throat • Fatigue • Swollen lymph nodes • Mouth ulcers These symptoms can last anywhere from a few days to several weeks. During this time, HIV infection may not show up on an HIV test, but people who have it are highly infectious and can spread the infection to others. More information's +91 9871605858

Development of Resistance of HIV

The ‪HIV‬ virus mutates, ie that the genetic ‪information‬ of the virus and the surface constitution of its cover is modified over time. As the ‪drugs‬ taken in HIV infection or AIDS are directed against certain very ‪‎specific‬ characteristics of the virus and its development in their multiplication, minimum changes of the HIV virus may decrease its effect or lead to a loss of the same ; is what is known as viral resistance to the drug, or even multiple drugs. In such cases, it is a challenge to provide effective medical treatment for HIV . Drug treatment may consist of many diverse substances to reach at least a minimal effect.
