Understanding AIDS.
Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is caused by the virus Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
HIV is a virus that attacks white blood cells in humans that causes damage to the human immune system.
White blood cells that attack the HIV virus a potential breeding ground for HIV virus causing new, which causes the destruction of white blood cells.
The disease process is quite long until someone is HIV positive, it took several years of the HIV virus attacks the white blood cells and damage, to loss of immunity in humans.
Due to damage to white blood cells make the human body becomes weak, because the destruction of the human immune system that ultimately are not resistant to disease. The impact, people will suffer as long as it can survive and will die over time just because of mild disease.
Until now there is no cure or vaccine that can cure the HIV virus, only the treatments and therapies that can reduce mortality and reduce the severity of HIV infection.
How to HIV is transmitted.
Through sex.
HIV virus can be transmitted through unprotected vaginal sex, anal and oral.
Free sex is not protected, meaning not using condoms, the top priority in the spread of HIV virus.
Vaginal sex using a condom are at high risk the possibility of infection. When compared to the transmission through anal sex, risk of infection is ten times higher because of the possibility of injury is not treated promptly.
Someone people with sexually transmitted infections are not treated promptly, in this case there are injuries or the juices of the body, has a risk of 6-10 times higher HIV virus in sexual relations.
Oral sex is low risk, but risk can be increased if there are sores around the mouth or carried in the mouth ejaculation.
Through a syringe.
Use of contaminated needles and use of the HIV virus turns on the health care environment, or the injection of drugs in turn, potentially once in the transmission of HIV virus.
The risk of transmission could be reduced by using clean needles or syringes to perform an accurate sterilization before use.
HIV transmission from mother to child.
HIV transmission can occur in children during the mother during pregnancy, before the time of delivery and during breastfeeding, the percentage of transmission is generally 15-30%.
Through blood transfusion.
Possible risk of HIV transmission occurring through contaminated blood transfusions was higher (90%). In this case the blood must guarantee the safety standards in service and provision of sterile blood and good quality for all patients requiring blood transfusions. Security screening of all blood with the blood that will be in transfusions to patients, to check whether the blood is contaminated with the HIV virus or other pathogens. In addition, the selection of candidates for selection of blood donors should also be considered.
The signs of people affected by AIDS.
The best way to tell if someone is infected with HIV / AIDS or not is to do a blood test.
Or by certain signs that can indicate whether a person already infected with HIV / AIDS or at least know the symptoms .
The main signs in adults are:
1. 10% weight loss within months without a cause.
2. Diarrhea for more than a month.
3. Fever that lasts more than one month either constant or not.
Minor signs in adults are:
1. Dry cough that does not soon recover.
2. Itchy skin all over the body.
3. Herpes is not immediately recovered.
4. Candidiasis in the mouth, tongue, or throat.
5. Swollen glands in the neck, armpit, or groin infection or without infection.
The main sign in children is:
1. Body weight and slow growth.
2. Diarrhea for two weeks or more.
3. Fever for more than a month.
Minor signs in children are:
1. Itchy skin all over the body.
2. Swollen glands in the neck, armpit, or groin.
3. Candidiasis in the mouth, tongue, or throat.
4. Infections of the ear, throat and other infections.
5. A cough that does not soon recover.
Keep in mind that a person infected with HIV usually do not show signs within a few years.
Prevention themselves against HIV virus.
- Transmission through kissing on the mouth of a very low risk, and there is no evidence that the HIV virus can be spread through saliva by kissing.
- When going to make a tattoo on the body, a tool to be used must be new and sterile. Avoid tools that have never used another person infected with HIV. The tools used through a puncture in the skin should be used once, then discarded.
- The use of a razor, like a razor blade or razor blade, must be sterilized before used. All types of injuries by using objects that are not sterilized, can transmit HIV. It is better to avoid the use of razors in turn.
- There is always a risk of transmission when having sex with an infected person HIV positive. The risk can be significantly reduced if condoms are used consistently and correctly.
- Not safe for two HIV-infected people to have sex unprotected condom, because there is the possibility of re-infection with other types of HIV.
Attention parents of the child.
The role of parents towards their children is necessary, in this case gives the sense of this frightening disease. Children will understand when in the delivery of fine words. Make your child feel comfortable dealing with parents and consider the child as a friend in the discussion, or are invited to find a way out of a family problem.
When children feel they are appreciated, surely he would feel he had a responsibility to maintain the child's own self, the environment, and the notion of dangerous diseases such as HIV / AIDS.
Do not get rid of people infected with HIV.
Many people thought that the virus HIV / AIDS be transmitted if engaging sex to switch partners, shook hands, and live close to people infected with HIV / AIDS. This opinion has been fused in the public mind, so that people infected with HIV / AIDS do not have a community in the general population. This is what makes people
infected with HIV / AIDS is very difficult to start a new life, is very pessimistic.
It would be nice not to throw them out, they have a right to live in the neighborhood the general public.
We already know how the disease can be contagious and not a disease that is easily transmitted. Indeed we all need to know more and more detail what it is about HIV, AIDS and what it means and how we avoid contagious.
