HIV / AIDS is one of the most well-known diseases in the world known to be dangerous to human life. HIV is known as the abbreviation for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV), a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) A virus is different from the syndrome or disease, but AIDS is one of the most common diseases that occur because of the virus. AIDS causes the destruction of the human immune system, and this occurs gradually over the years, but what ultimately kills the patient is not AIDS, but one of the diseases that affect the body and did not find an immune system to resist. People with AIDS often die from various types of cancer. Despite the scientific mutations, research and studies carried out on the disease, there is still no radical treatment to date, but there are signs that a vaccine can be developed to prevent it in the future. According to the National AIDS Foundation in Italy. [1] But all doctors can do now are giving drugs that reduce the severity of the disease, and its role in the elimination of the immune system, and thus work to delay the death as much as possible. [2] Symptoms of AIDS Some people may develop flu-like symptoms within two to four weeks after HIV infection. These symptoms include: [3] ] High temperatures and chills. Night sweats. Feeling tired and muscle aches. Throat pains. Oral ulceration. Swelling lymph nodes. During this time the virus may not appear in the tests, but the patient is able to transmit the virus to others. [3] If a person is infected with the virus and is not undergoing special treatments, the immune system will weaken and worsen until the person becomes infected with AIDS , The late stage of the infection of the virus mentioned, and the symptoms include the following: [3] accelerated weight loss. Frequent rise in temperature. Night sweats profuse. Excessive and unexplained feeling. Long-term swelling of the lymph nodes in several places of the body, including under the armpit and neck. Diarrhea that lasts for more than a week. Ulcers in the mouth, anus or genital areas. Pneumonia. Red, pink, brown or purple spots on or below the skin, inside the mouth, nose, or eyelids. Memory loss, depression, and neurological problems. HIV infection Transmission of HIV through infection with contaminated blood or physical fluids during sexual intercourse, [2] as well as transmission from the infected mother to her baby through breastfeeding. The international community seeks to reduce the spread of HIV by forcing both couples to undergo tests to ensure that neither of them is infected, as well as to promote awareness of safe sex, non-use of syringes and the need to sterilize medical devices. [4].
Causes of AIDS The symptoms of AIDS are caused by many severe diseases that the immune system can not resist. These diseases or infections are confined to bacteria and many viruses and parasites that spread in the air and are resisted by the normal immune system on a daily basis and controls the process of expulsion from the body. 2] The sufferers suffer from many similar symptoms, such as swelling of the lymph nodes, and the incidence of fever and persistent sweating especially at night, general weakness, and weight loss. Other infections are based on parasitic infection on the geographical area where the casualty is present. Infections in Africa are exposed to fungi and bacteria that are different from those in northern Europe. [3] Prevention of AIDS AIDS prevention relies on avoiding dangerous habits and behaviors Which lead to exposure to HIV, which passes through the blood, body fluids and needles that have been exposed to infected blood. [5] To prevent this, attention must be paid to the following: [5] Knowing the person to put and put his partner before sex. Use latex condoms properly before any exercise. Determine how many people have sex with them. Avoid using injections outside the hospital clean and sterile. If a doctor is suspected of being exposed to the virus, medicines are sometimes prevented if used early. Treatment of AIDS Although AIDS has cured it, the infected people are now living for decades after the diagnosis of the disease because of the many drugs effective in inhibition of the virus causing it. The most effective antiviral drugs are antiretroviral drugs, which are used with other drugs to prevent resistance to any drug. [5] Other uses of AIDS drugs HIV / AIDS drugs are also used as post-exposure prevention, This disease from mother to child is as follows: [5] Prevention after exposure to the virus: These drugs are used to reduce the probability of transmission of HIV shortly after exposure to the potential; for example, these drugs can be used after a person exercise Sex with someone sucking Done without using a condom. These drugs can also be used after a nurse is exposed to a needle from a needle contaminated with blood carrying the virus. For prevention to be effective, it must be done within three days of exposure to the virus. Post-exposure prevention is administered by giving the person a special drug for 28 days. Prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV: Pregnant women with HIV use their drugs during pregnancy and childbirth to reduce the likelihood of transmission to their children. Neonates also receive medication for the virus for 6 weeks after delivery. These drugs reduce the risk of infection with a virus that may have reached the baby at birth.
