What does AIDS look like

Many young people are still wondering: what do AIDS symptoms look like ? This is important to know, because if you know the symptoms, you will go to your doctor and start the treatment in time. Young people should be well educated, because they usually do not pay enough attention when it comes to their sexual life. They should know more about prevention and symptoms of this disease. AIDS looks different from HIV infection. In fact, HIV and AIDS are not the same. HIV is a virus that leads to AIDS, which is a deadly disease. AIDS is the last stage of HIV infection. A person who has this illness can experience some serious symptoms. People with AIDS can look really unhealthy and the symptoms can be difficult to deal with.

Immune system is crucial in fighting the virus. Patients who already have weakened immune system will probably have difficulties in fighting HIV. There are people who use certain medications that affect their immune system and this can lead to further problems. However, there are medications that can help in treating this illness.

AIDS is the final stage of HIV infection. This phase can be very difficult and painful for the patient. Many opportunistic infections can occur, due to immune system failures. Pneumonia, herpes, HPV and fungal infections are some of the common opportunistic infections. This happens because the body is too weak to fight these infections. In some cases, these infections can be lethal, like pneumonia, for example. The only way to fight AIDS is early detection. If diagnosed in time, this illness can be kept under control, thanks to antiretroviral medications.

What Does HIV Stand For

What does HIV stand for? We will tell you more about this virus. It destroys the immune system and makes the body vulnerable to other infections, which can be lethal. When HIV attacks the body, T-cells are endangered. These cells have an important role in defending the body from other viruses and bacteria. HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. As you can see, the name itself suggests that immune system is in danger. The body becomes weak and vulnerable to other infections because the immune system in incapable of fighting them.

Currently, the number of people infected with HIV is incredibly large. There is no cure to this infection, but there are ways to prevent it. Education is very important. Young people should learn more about HIV and how it is transmitted. Condoms remain the best protection against HIV.

What are the chances of getting HIV virus

Chances of getting HIV


Remember when you had the common cold and the people around you, you did not want to approach too close to them would not be infected with this virus.As with the common cold and similar to the AIDS virus, but you will not be infected in this way as is possible with the common cold.

HIV virus is in the blood of people who are infected but also in body fluids such as semen and vaginal secretions.Chances for obtaininig HIV virus and that it is not in the body fluids are very small because the HIV virus can not survive outside the body.To a person infected by the virus it must transfer an amount of fluid.


Better chance of getting HIV


Unprotected sexual intercourse with a person who carries the HIV virus and the symptoms of which is already a period of time with HIV.

Using the needle, which is already used by an infected person and that you use.

These are more likely Featured for obtaining HIV and most of them are more people infected by this virus when there is.

Virus is present in all other fluids stored in the body of the above but only in these three fluids have the strength to pass the infection to another person.


HIV can get in the following ways


By vaginal


HIV exists in fluids infected person.For men it is in the fluids of the penis during and after intercourse.For women this means that HIV moves in fluids produced by the vagina during and after sexual intercourse with a partner.If the man who brings HIV has relations with his wife without protection, infected tecost exceed directly into the bloodstream and infect women is HIV.This virus is not visible to the naked eye and the infected person will not even know or feel that she is infected. Almost certain is that if intercourse lasts longer without satite infection is almost certain. Also, if a woman is infected with HIV and has relations with a man without the protection of this virus can cross the blood men through small openings in men.This is the man at the entrance way for HIV. If partners have any contact with blood, then it is almost certain that will infect each other if one person is infected and do not use protection.


Oral via


Exercise oral intercourse with an infected person carries a large dose risk.Be careful


Anal through


If people practice anal sex ratio there is higher risk of infection than through vaginal or oral means. For anal sex, there are special condoms to protect you in time.It is a great possibility that if the virus infects HIV share the same needle with infected from this virus. So never share the same accessories for hygiene or treatment.


Blood transfusion or by receiving bodies


If you receive through the artificial blood in your body to have enough quantity, this happens when a person has a large blood loss, such as serious injuries and lost a lot of blood from his body.If you give a person's blood is infected with HIV it will transfer you safely and infect you with HIV. Also, if you get a body that doctors will put in your body of another person if the person who supplied the infected body you sure she will transmit HIV virus.This rarely happens today because the controls are large and rarely can become infected in this way. Before the birth of the child infected mother can transmit the infection to their child.Also, the HIV virus can be transmitted and when a mother breastfeeding her child.However today this type of infection in a very small level, because if the basic checkups during pregnancy reveal that the mother infected with HIV can be prevented that this virus does not transmit to his still not born child, if detected in time.


HIV infection tattooing


If the equipment used for tattooing, but the HIV infected person and if you tattoo is a strong possibility that you will be caught by this virus.
These are often the most chances to get HIV if someone told you that you can get HIV through a cutlery or kiss it is absolutely false and a point.

History of HIV AIDS virus

Scientists gathered in the United State in America to conduct research where HIV first appeared virus.Proven to history HIV virus originates from Africa between 1880 and 1923 years.Research was found that the chimpanzee droppings with HIV told the man.This type of infection occurred in the northern part of Cameroon around 1910 years.This infection spread among the local population and the epidemic has received the most bigger shape when she came to the state Kinsasa.Come from this city and the two most senior of the sample,which carries virus.

First HIV is found in the blood of a man in 1960 and the second is found in immune cells at the end of 1961 women yers.1980 years death from this deadly infection that mainly appeared in patients who were on the transplantation of an organ in order to continue his life with the help of someone else organs.This virus began to occur in people from New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Dallas and Filadelfia.

1983 years found the first infection of this virus in patients with lack of immune sistems.First since most better doctor Luc Montagnier was able to isolate this virus in the body men.For this historic discovery of this internationally recognized experts and scientists in 2008 he received the Nobel Prize for Medicine and filozofly.

Several group of scientists was assembled in America for research, where the virus are people with AIDS and people who have been in contact with patients were isolated in 1985 in order to be studied this virus.All scientists who worked on this study were in fact revealed the same virus that is now known worldwide as the AIDS.Previously infection usually get those people with a very damaged and weak immune systems.Time such cases have become more frequent and then appeared that the cases of the virus become infected persons who have a problem with blood clotting, and because of this infection were primoreni to receive blood by transfusions,people who had a sexual relationship with a person ill from the virus and in infants who were infected by their mather.

Virus AIDS in 1984 has become an epidemic throughout the world and is known as one of the most dangerous viruses that are ever struck a man in his history.1984 years after the assessment of research "ZCO" has proven to the world there are over 30 million infected by the disease AIDS.In period from 1995 until now found even 90 percent of new cases who were mainly from developing countries which leads to the conclusion that the AIDS virus is spreading more and more from year to years.In these countries, AIDS is a disease transmitted through sexual equal and men and zena.Featured more patients will be registered when they happen to the large immigration population large city.In addition the virus spread at high speed in cities with large visits tourists.

In large cases are suffering from the AIDS virus drug addicts.Chuck 52 percent of cases were reported in people who use drogs.In else suffering from AIDS virus are men who are infected by this virus sexual thorugh.Percentages, this number is 24 percent of which were infected by a virus and is the second places.Person that were infected tranfuzijom occupy third place with 17 percent of the number persent.To were mainly people who had to receive an organ or blood from other people and have earned this virus.1994 is less and less likely to get through this because the AIDS virus control increased during blood transfusion or donations organisms.

However a problem that represents doctors and scientists is that this can happen to the blood does not show positive results in blood during the examination of blood but blood is still infected with HIV virus.First problem of false findings is that as blood levels are not yet able to develop antibodies to the virus and is entering the test HIV falsely reports.In doctors appears and groups in which several people infected HIV without distinguishing risk and who do not belong to any group patients.This number today is 8 percent of the total number of patients from this number today virus.Unfortunately today this group is growing significantly because ill do not want to admit the way they got the infection of shame in society and family.All this can be concluded that the awareness of people who undertake risky behavior is a major factor in the viral infection.

.In this division of the infected different groups has led to these results, because among sexually active men formed a position "I will I never have HIV/AIDS virus"
