POST - EXPOSURE PROPHYLAXIS(PEP)

Post Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) means that if a patient is contaminated with HIV infection and if he reaches to a doctor within 72 hours of direct contact and then the doctor can start HIV treatment with PEP formula of HIV drugs. Now a days we can treat patients who had sex with some sex worker or any male transgender or some unknown person ,or he had done oral sex, vaginal sex, anal sex or he had sucked the boobs or the vagina or penis or during sexual intercourse condom gets burst , we can treat them if they come to us within 72 hours of direct contact, these medicines are called POST-EXPOSURE PROPHYLAXIS (PEP) drugs for HIV or prophylactic treatment for HIV, by using these drugs we can treat a patient and we can stop transfusion of HIV virus to the person. PEP involves taking of anti HIV drugs as soon as possible after having been exposed to unprotected sex with some sex worker or transgender or with homosexual or some unknown person ,or he had done oral sex, vaginal sex, anal sex or he had sucked the boobs or the vagina or penis. PEP is a new HIV prevention method in which people who do not have HIV infection take pills of medicine daily to reduce the risk of becoming infected with HIV virus, PEP should be taken within 72 hours of exposure to unprotected sex before the virus has time to rapidly duplicate in your body, PEP consists of 2-3 antiretroviral drugs taken for 28 days. If a patient is able to reach a doctors clinic within 72 hours of exposer then definitely he will get protection about HIV, Please Contact Dr. Vinod Raina for PEP treatment of HIV on 9871606868, 9136363692, 9910324244

HIV infection and AIDS diagnosis

Early diagnosis is crucial in the subsequent evolution of HIV disease and AIDS. The successful treatment of HIV or AIDS depends on when it starts, so as there is suspicion of an infection should be performed HIV test . This proof ofantibodies against HIV is offered by regional health delegations anonymously and free. In popular parlance, mistakenly called AIDS test. Actually, the test only the HIV virus, AIDS no. A negative test result with high probability exclude HIV infection. In rare cases, it can also be positive in people without HIV infection. So if is positive provided an even more accurate second test is performed. People who are positive for HIV testing should be put directly into the hands of the doctor for specialized care. Today, any large city has specialized consultations in HIV devoted almost exclusively to the treatment of HIV and AIDS. There are several blood tests that can identify antibodies of the virus or virus. In addition, the doctor may also collect the amount of virus contained in the blood through a blood test.This value is also called viral load. This viral load by the number of helper T cells, is an important value that allows the physician to assess the evolution of HIV infection or AIDS.

HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) Infection

HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a virus that attacks the immune system, the body's natural defense system. Without a strong immune system, the body has trouble fighting off disease. Both the virus and the infection it causes are called HIV. White blood cells are an important part of the immune system. HIV infects and destroys certain white blood cells called CD4+ cells. If too many CD4+ cells are destroyed, the body can no longer defend itself against infection. The last stage of HIV infection is AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). People with AIDS have a low number of CD4+ cells and get infections or cancers that rarely occur in healthy people. These can be deadly. But having HIV doesn't mean you have AIDS. Even without treatment, it takes a long time for HIV to progress to AIDS—usually 10 to 12 years. When HIV is diagnosed before it becomes AIDS, medicines can slow or stop the damage to the immune system. If AIDS does develop, medicines can often help the immune system return to a healthier state. With treatment, many people with HIV are able to live long and active lives. There are two types of HIV: • HIV-1, which causes almost all the cases of AIDS worldwide • HIV-2, which causes an AIDS-like illness. HIV-2 infection is uncommon in North America. HIV infection is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus. You can get HIV from contact with infected blood, semen, or vaginal fluids. • Most people get the virus by having unprotected sex with someone who has HIV. • Another common way of getting it is by sharing drug needles with someone who is infected with HIV. • The virus can also be passed from a mother to her baby during pregnancy, birth, or breast-feeding. HIV doesn't survive well outside the body. So it can't be spread by casual contact like kissing or sharing drinking glasses with an infected person.

HIV Infection and AIDS Treatment

If an HIV infection, treatment is primarily aimed at preventing evolve as long as possible and do not give way to the disease AIDS . In this case, the treatment is against HIV itself. If the emergence of AIDS and its accompanying diseases occur as a lung inflammation or bowel, treatment should include them. It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle so that theimmune system does not see further harmed. Many infected with HIV also have counseling and self-help centers with other affected. Drug Treatments Currently it has good information about certain steps in single expansion of HIV infection. Thus it has been possible to develop drugs that inhibit certain evolutions of cell infestation. HIV treatment is also called highly active antiretroviral therapy and its abbreviation is HAART. Specifically, this treatment includes the following medications: • The entry inhibitors , which inhibit the entry of HIV virus in human cells. VHI prevent adhesion of immune cells and / or dissolution of the viral envelope with the cell membrane (fusion). The excipient enfuvirtide eg prevents fusion. • The reverse transcriptase inhibitor blocks a special top virus that can translate the genetic information of the virus (DNA) reverse transcriptase. This group of drugs includes, for example, substances such as lamivudine , the tenofovir or nevirapine . • Another top virus, integrase, incorporating HIV DNA genetic information translated into immune cells. In this case, inhibitors of this enzyme, apply called integrase inhibitors . The drugraltegravir contains these integrase inhibitors. • The protease inhibitors destroy other HIV enzyme, the HIV protease. If a cell is infected with HIV, forms a component of protein which could be born new HIV viruses. Protease HIV plays an important role in the composition of this protein. Inhibitors of this enzyme is involved in virus appear less capable of action in affected cells. Examples of protease inhibitors are drugsfosamprenavir , indinavir , nelfinavir and ritonavir . Although AIDS remains an incurable disease, it may be well with a combination therapy . This combination consists of at least three different drugs; usually several inhibitors of reverse transcriptase which are combined with a protease inhibitor.

Causes of HIV

Pathogens The disease AIDS develops from an infection HIV and is caused by the v irus immunodeficiency h umana. HIV and substance containing RNA ( ribonucleic acid ), unlike many other viruses or human cells whose genetic information is stored in the form of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Therefore, HIV is defined rather as an RNA virus within the group of retroviruses. The: two types of HIV are known HIV-1 , present worldwide, and HIV-2 , which is found mainly in South Africa. Both virus types differ in their genetic substance, RNA. Thus, HIV-2 RNA, called AIDS virus from monkeys is similar to the green monkeys, while HIV-1 is more like chimpanzees. It is likely that before the explosion and rapid spread of AIDS in the 1980s had many people already infected with this virus monkey. HIV genetic material is surrounded by a protein coat . This property enables the envelope virus from attaching to the human immune cells such as helper T cells (also known as T cells). Infected T cells are destroyed by the virus, so that occurs weakening the immune system over time. This favors the emergence of other diseases. HIV Transmission HIV is transmitted primarily by blood and sperm. Therefore, people who have unprotected sex ordrug addicts who exchange syringes are most prone to the transmission of HIV . In Spain, 79% of HIV cases in 2010 were sexually. In the case of sex, HIV transmission can occur for the following situations: • For anal or vaginal sex acts (active or passive) with a high risk of infection. • For fellatio in which the semen reaches the mouth (lowest risk). Less than 1% of transmissions of HIV in 2010 occurred in childbirth because the HIV positive mother infected the child . This form of transmission is attached to a particular risk, because if appropriate prevention measures at birth the possibility that an HIV-positive mother passing the disease to the baby is 15 to 20% are not taken. Also the transplantation of organs from an HIV positive donor can infect the recipient. The risk of infection in patients requiring blood transfusion or blood product is very rare, because of the strict controls to which they are subjected. Talk about a "transmission of AIDS" is wrong and wrong as it may appear as a result of HIV infection but does not why. What is transmitted is the pathogen (HIV) no disease ( AIDS ). But what is really becoming infected with HIV? HIV transmission depends on various factors. Most have to do with the transferred pathogens: the more entering the body, the more likely to contract HIV. In addition, certain characteristics of the pathogen also play a role (known virulence, ie, the power to trigger a disease), as well as the health of the person to whom the virus is transmitted. It is very difficult to determine exactly what the individual risk of HIV infection. Is only possible to establish statistical data. There are examples of people infected after a single contact risk, but it is also possible that repeated contacts with an HIV-infected (sex of years without protection, for example) do not have any consequences. From a statistical point of view and according to the route of transmission for 1000 risk contacts occur between one ten HIV infections. Transmission material also determines the possibility of transmission of HIV. HIV positive people tend to have the highest concentrations of virus in the blood , seminal fluid, vaginal secretion and on the surface of the intestinal mucosa. In the rest of the body fluid concentration of the virus is significantly lower HI and transmission while theoretically possible, is not yet determined if any. HIV is not transmitted by infection by airborne pathogens . Incubation time The incubation period of HIV infection , ie, the time from HIV infection until the outbreak of AIDS, is very different in each person and can range from several months to more than fifteen years. The duration of this phase also influenced by different factors such as medications, lifestyle, mental state and accompanying diseases. A "AIDS infection" as such does not exist: a HIV infection.

What is HIV AIDS

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.

The HIV Lifecycle

Once HIV is in the body, it targets and infects a certain type of white blood cell called a CD4 cell. HIV then takes over or "hijacks" these cells and turns them into factories that produce thousands of copies of the virus. The steps HIV goes through to complete this process are as follows: 1. Binding and Fusion: HIV begins to enter a CD4 cell by binding or attaching itself to a specific point, called a CD4 receptor, on the cell's surface. HIV must then bind to a second co-receptor, either the CCR5 co-receptor or the CXCR4 co-receptor. This allows the virus to join or merge with the CD4 cell in a process called fusion. After fusion, HIV releases its RNA (genetic material) and enzymes (proteins that cause chemical reactions) into the CD4 cell. 2. Reverse Transcription: HIV's genetic material is called RNA, which contains the "instructions" that will reprogram the CD4 cell so that it produces more viruses. In order to be effective, HIV's RNA must be changed into DNA. An HIV enzyme called reverse transcriptase changes the HIV RNA into HIV DNA. 3. Integration: Next, the newly formed HIV DNA enters the nucleus (command center) of the CD4 cell. Another HIV enzyme called integrase combines or integrates HIV's DNA with the CD4 cell's DNA. 4. Transcription: Once the virus has become part of (is integrated into) the CD4 cell, it commands the CD4 cell to start making new HIV proteins. The proteins are the building blocks for new HIV viruses. They are produced in long chains. 5. Assembly: An HIV enzyme called protease cuts the long chains of HIV proteins into smaller pieces. As the smaller protein pieces come together with copies of HIV's RNA, a new virus is put together (assembled). 6. Budding: The newly assembled virus pushes ("buds") out of the original CD4 cell. This new virus is now able to target and infect other CD4 cells.

HIV SYMPTOMS

HIV infection comes in three stages. The first stage is called acute infection or conversation, and it typically happens within two to six weeks after exposure or becoming infected. This is when the body's immune system puts up a fight against HIV. The symptoms of acute infection look similar to those of other viral illnesses and are often compared to those of the flu. The symptoms may last a week or two and then completely go away as the virus goes into a non-symptomatic stage. Symptoms related to acute HIV(when a person is first infected) are often flu-like. They include: 1) Diarrhea 2) Fever 3) Headache 4) Mouth Sores 5) Swollen lymph glands 5) Sore throat 6) Rashes and itching of different types 7) Night Sweats 8) Fatigue 9) Weight loss

Treatment

Although there is no cure for HIV infection, there are treatment options that can help people living with HIV experience long and productive lives. CDC and other government agencies continue to work on a variety of treatment-related activities, including: HIV/AIDS clinical research and drug trials; vaccine research; development of treatment guidelines and best practices; and creating and implementing treatment-related prevention strategies that can help stop new infections.

Living With HIV

Today, an estimated 1.2 million people are living with HIV in the United States. Thanks to better treatments, people with HIV are now living longer—and with a better quality of life—than ever before. If you are living with HIV, it's important to make choices that keep you healthy and protect others. You should start medical care and begin HIV treatment as soon as you are diagnosed with HIV. Taking medicine to treat HIV, called antiretroviral therapy or ART, is recommended for all people with HIV. Taking medicine to treat HIV slows the progression of HIV and helps protect your immune system. The medicine can keep you healthy for many years and greatly reduces your chance of transmitting HIV to sex partners if taken the right way, every day. Health Medicine Hiv blood Hiv If you’re taking medicine to treat HIV, visit your health care provider regularly and always take your medicine as directed to keep your viral load (the amount of HIV in the blood and elsewhere in the body) as low as possible. It’s important to disclose your HIV status to your sex and needle-sharing partners even if you are uncomfortable doing it. Communicating with each other about your HIV status allows you and your partner to take steps to keep both of you healthy. Many resources can help you learn ways to disclose your status to your partners. Get support. Receiving a diagnosis of HIV can be a life-changing event. People can feel many emotions—sadness, hopelessness, and even anger. Allied health care providers and social service providers, often available at your health care provider’s office, will have the tools to help you work through the early stages of your diagnosis and begin to manage your HIV. Talking to others who have HIV may also be helpful. Find a local HIV support group. Learn about how other people living with HIV have handled their diagnosis.

The immune system and HIV

The HIV virus attacks white blood cells, which are called T-helper cells or CD4 cells. These are important when it comes to having a healthy immune system as they help us fight off diseases and infections. HIV cannot grow or reproduce on its own. Instead, it makes new copies of itself inside T-helper cells which damages the immune system and gradually weakens our natural defences. This process of T-helper cells multiplying is called the HIV life cycle. How quickly the virus develops depends on how early you are diagnosed, your overall health and how well you take your treatment. It’s important to know that antiretroviral treatment will keep the immune system healthy if taken correctly and therefore prevent AIDS. The HIV life cycle The life cycle of HIV goes through various different steps that can happen over many years. Antiretroviral treatment works by interrupting the cycle and protecting your immune system. There are different drugs offered depending on the particular stage of the HIV life cycle. Understanding the HIV life cycle helps scientists to know how to attack the virus when it is weak and reduce the risk of drugs no longer working (drug resistance). This happens when drugs fail to prevent the virus from multiplying.Best doctors in delhi

What Is Depression?

Being depressed, in everyday language, occurs when someone feels down, sad, blue, unhappy, or hopeless. These are all normal feelings, and almost everyone experiences them at one time or another. Receiving and living with a diagnosis of HIV can be stressful, overwhelming, and fearful at times. So it is not unusual for people living with HIV to feel down or anxious. If these feelings become overpowering, disabling, or long-lasting, however, they may be a sign that you are experiencing a condition known as depression. Compared to sadness, depression is more intense, lasts longer (more than two weeks), and interferes with your day-to-day ability to function. In medical language, depression is a diagnosis based on having a certain number of specific symptoms (from the list below). Depression is not a normal part of living with HIV and can have a negative effect on your overall physical health. If you have any of these symptoms or are unsure if what you are experiencing is normal, it is important to talk to your health care provider. Symptoms of depression include: Changes in appetite or weight Aches or pains for no clear reason Episodes of crying for no clear reason Feelings of sadness, guilt, hopelessness, and/or worthlessness Irritability; getting into arguments easily Lack of interest or pleasure in activities that usually interest you Low sex drive Difficulty making decisions or concentrating Changes in sleep patterns Fatigue or loss of energy.

HIV Care and Treatment for Children

Finding a pediatrician (children’s doctor) with whom you feel comfortable and who has experience treating children living with HIV can be very important for your child’s health. It is helpful to have a local pediatrician who is close by and can help with all of the regular childhood issues, and to consult a health care provider who is an HIV expert (especially if your local pediatricians do not have a lot of experience treating children living with HIV). Expert HIV pediatricians will often work at a children’s hospital or medical center with an HIV program. HIV drug treatment works very well for most children and starting it early will keep HIV from causing more damage to your child's body. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that all children living with HIV below five years of age receive HIV drugs, regardless of their CD4 count. The WHO also suggests that all children five years of age or older who have CD4 counts less than 500 receive HIV treatment. The WHO treatment guidelines can be found here. The DHHS has also put together a set of pediatric treatment guidelines that recommend when children should start medications and which ones they should take. Your child’s HIV specialist best doctors in delhi is the person to talk to about when to start HIV drugs, which ones to start, and what the possible drug interactions and side effects might be. There is not as much information available about the use of HIV drugs in children as in adults, and not all HIV drugs are available for children. Still, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved over thirty HIV drugs for children. Their list of approved HIV drugs for children can be found here. Finding the right dose is important. Children's doses are based on their weight, so dosing will have to be adjusted as your child grows. Once treatment is started, it is important that your child be checked regularly to make sure that the HIV drugs are working well and not causing any serious side effects. Work with your pediatrician to keep a close eye on your child’s growth, development, and lab tests (such as viral load and CD4 counts). If you see problems, you may need to talk with your child’s HIV provider about changing to different HIV drugs. It is also important to ask your child if he or she is experiencing any pain. Staying aware of how your child is feeling will help you to know if he or she has become ill or is experiencing side effects.

Hiv /PEP

PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) means taking antiretroviral medicines (ART) after being potentially exposed to HIV to prevent becoming infected. PEP should be used only in #emergency situations and must be started within 72 hours after a recent possible exposure to HIV. If you think you’ve recently been exposed to HIV during sex or through sharing needles and works to prepare drugs or if you’ve been sexually assaulted, talk to your health care provider or an emergency room best doctor in delhi about PEP right away.

Erectile Dysfunction or Impotence

Impotence, or what best doctors delhi prefer to call, erectile dysfunction, is a common problem, affecting about 20% of boys (1 in 5).Erectile dysfunction can be a warning sign of heart disease. It is a problem that can occur at any age but is most common after age 40.Sexuality in men is a fundamental aspect of life and issues of sexuality can seriously affect occupational and marital relationships. What is erectile dysfunction? Erectile dysfunction is the inability to maintain an erection sufficiently rigid for satisfactory sexual intercourse. How common is erectile dysfunction? All men may have trouble achieving an erection at some point in their lives, especially when they are tired, under stress or under the influence of alcohol or suffering from a serious illness. In our country, erectile dysfunction affects 43% of men between 25 and 70 years. This means that more than two million Indians have impotence.The frequency of erectile dysfunction increases with age and affects 14% of men aged 40-49 years, 25% of men aged 50 to 59 and 49% of 60-69 years. Why erectile dysfunction occurs? The penis consists of two columns of erectile tissue called corpora cavernosa (produce an erection) and a passage (urethra) that drains urine. During erection, erectile tissue that fills with blood, the penis enlarges and becomes rigid. Anatomy of the penis In the corpora cavernosa are cavities that are called sinusoids and flaccidity are empty. When an erection occurs, arrives lot of blood to the corpora cavernosa and these sinusoids relax and stored blood. A suitable inlet and the blood storage enlargement occurs and rigidity of the penis. If blood is not properly inserted, or escapes from the sinusoids, then a difficulty occurs to achieve and / or maintain rigidity. As erection occurs Erectile dysfunction can be organic (physical origin) or psychological (psychological origin). However, in many patients with ED of organic origin a psychological component that is added worsens.Organic impotence is the most common and is caused by a disorder of the penis or mechanisms related to erection. Several types of erectile dysfunction: a) Vascular It is very common. It occurs when little blood to the penis comes or not properly retained within the corpora cavernosa, resulting in a leakage of blood and a sharp decrease in erection.The most common causes of vascular impotence include diabetes, hypertension, increased cholesterol, smoking, and cardiovascular disease. In these patients with cardiovascular risk factors, erectile dysfunction may be the first symptom "sentinel" of cardiovascular disease will progress over time. b) Neurological When there are problems in the transmission of orders that the brain and spinal cord sent to the penis through nerve sparing, for an erection to occur. Produce this type of impotence diabetes, spinal diseases and surgeries for prostate, bladder and rectum (damage to nerve sparing) cancer. c) Hormonal When the body produces less male hormone (testosterone) from which it is needed. Donomina hypogonadism. d) By drugs Many drugs used to treat diseases such as hypertension or depression can affect erectile function. e) Psychological In these cases the penile rigidity mechanism is normal, but the erection is complicated by psychological problems that may be due to performance anxiety (fear of not getting an erection), relationship problems, depression or other psychological problems. The stress of any kind can affect the sexual act.

PrEP

Pre-exposure prophylaxis (or PrEP) is when people at very high risk for HIV take HIV medicines daily to lower their chances of getting infected.

Hiv Testing

The only way to know for sure whether you have HIV is to get tested. This section answers some of the most common questions related to HIV testing, including the types of tests available, where to get one, and what to expect when you get tested.

Prevention / Hiv

Today, more tools than ever are available to prevent HIV. In addition to abstinence, limiting your number of sexual partners, never sharing needles, and using condoms the right way every time you have sex, you may be able to take advantage of newer medicines such as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP).

How is HIV spread?

HIV can spread only in certain body fluids from a person infected with HIV: • Blood • Semen • Pre-seminal fluids • Rectal fluids • Vaginal fluids • Breast milk The spread of HIV (called HIV transmission) is only possible if these fluids come in contact with a mucous membrane or damaged tissue or are directly injected into the bloodstream (from a needle or syringe). Mucous membranes are found inside the rectum, the vagina, the opening of the penis, and the mouth. In the United States, HIV is spread mainly by having sex or sharing injection drug equipment, such as needles, with someone who has HIV. HIV can also spread from an HIV-infected woman to her child during pregnancy, childbirth (also called labor and delivery), or breastfeeding. This spread of HIV is called mother-to-child transmission of HIV. In the past, some people were infected with HIV after receiving a blood transfusion or organ or tissue transplant from an HIV-infected donor. Today, this risk is very low because donated blood, organs, and tissues are carefully tested in the United States. You can’t get HIV from casual contact with a person infected with HIV, for example from a handshake, a hug, or a closed-mouth kiss. And you can’t get HIV from contact with objects such as toilet seats, doorknobs, or dishes used by a person infected with HIV. More information visit - BestDoctorsindelhi

PrEP

Pre-exposure prophylaxis (or PrEP) is when people at very high risk for HIV take HIV medicines daily to lower their chances of getting infected.

How to Use Condoms as Safely as Possible

If you want to have safe sex without worrying about STDs or pregnancy, it's essential to understand how to make using condoms as safe as possible. Condoms have become one of the most used methods of contraception—particularly for anyone who wants to protect against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and not just unintended pregnancy. Unfortunately, they are not the most reliable methods. The risk, however, significantly declines with proper use.

Whether you are purchasing the condom, using it, or removing it, you can make every step safer by learning some lesser-known facts. • Choose a condom that's the right size. Men with smaller penises should purchase condoms with a “snugger fit” to avoid condoms slipping off during intercourse. Men who are more amply endowed risk splitting a regular condom and should buy a larger size. Even store-bought brands provide size options. If you can’t find options in your area, they are easy to find online. • Choose the right material. Lambskin condoms have microscopic holes that, while small enough to stop the sperm, are big enough to allow viruses safe passage. These condoms, therefore, do not offer adequate protection against HIV. If you are allergic to latex (or if you simply want the safest option), consider polyurethane condoms. Although they are more expensive, they’re thinner and stronger than latex condoms, nonporous and nonpermeable to all viruses (including HIV), hypoallergenic, safe to use with oil-based products, and heat conductive, which is supposed to make them transmit sensations between partners better. • Don’t leave it in the wrapper. The number-one cause of condom failure is failure to use the condom at all. If you say that you use condoms as your method of birth control, you must use them every single time. It only takes one time to get pregnant or transmit an STD. • Don’t use an old condom. Condoms can “go bad,” especially when left in a wallet, which is subject to the heat and weight of your body. Even in the best of situations, a condom that has been around for a year is probably not a condom that you want to use. By the way, this advice doesn’t apply only to wallets. A man has a number of places where he may keep a “safety,” including the glove compartment or trunk of his or his parents’ car, his lunch box, his tool kit, or his kilt. Whatever that place is, if it is subject to extremes of cold or heat, assume that, after a while, the condom will no longer be reliably “safe.” • Put it on the right way. To properly put on a condom, unroll it completely up the shaft of an erect penis. Make sure to leave a small pocket at the tip to collect the semen. Anything else can result in a split condom. • Use water-based lubricants. If you use a dry condom and decide to add a lubricant, make sure that the lubricant is a water-based one, like KY Jelly. Oil-based lubricants, like Vaseline, or other products made from mineral or vegetable oils (including aerosol whipped cream), can break down the latex and make the condom porous. This breakdown can happen very quickly, so don’t use any of these products with a condom. • Removal is tricky. When you remove the condom, make sure that one partner holds the open end of the condom as the man removes his still-erect penis. Anything else could result in spilling semen, which means the sex was not safe after all. • Buy some more for next time. If you rely on condoms to protect against pregnancy or STDs, you must use them all the time. A single mistake can have huge consequences. _

About HIV/AIDS

HIV is a virus spread through certain body fluids that attacks the body’s immune system, specifically the CD4 cells, often called T cells. Over time, HIV can destroy so many of these cells that the body can’t fight off infections and disease. These special cells help the immune system fight off infections. Untreated, HIV reduces the number of CD4 cells (T cells) in the body. This damage to the immune system makes it harder and harder for the body to fight off infections and some other diseases. Opportunistic infections or cancers take advantage of a very weak immune system and signal that the person has AIDS. Learn more about the stages of HIV and how to know whether you’re infected.
