The HIV virus is of two types, HIV1 and HIV2. When worldwide, people generally talk of HIV they refer to HIV1. The relatively uncommon HIV2 is concentrated in West Africa and is rarely found anywhere else.
It is a relationship that involves a lot of emotions and anxieties. When in a relationship a partner is aware of being infected with a disease that could cause death, brings in a lot of anxieties. It is obvious not only at the time of diagnosis but throughout the relationship.
When a person is infected with HIV, he has an illness during the first few weeks or months. The symptoms of this illness are not specific that includes fever, rash, muscle aches, headaches, nausea and enlarged glands. It is a way the body responds to the infection. There are some doctors who say that if the treatment is started at this stage could be beneficial but there is no clear evidence to it.
Since its medical discovery during 1980's, HIV has appeared as one of the deadliest challenges of human survival. But what does HIV actually mean? HIV is the abbreviation for the virus called Human immunodeficiency virus.
So you have thought you will contact aids because you have shaken hand with an AIDS patient! Or are you afraid because you have come to know that you have shared the bathroom and swam in the same swimming pool with the person infected with AIDS.
AIDS (Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome) is a disease caused by a virus called HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). HIV attacks the body's immune system.
Just when scientists working round the clock all over the world heave a sigh of relief at the thought of having achieved all the possible medical breakthroughs for combating most diseases, nature decides to throw yet another challenge at them- Aids, the most dreaded disease.
Nobody knows from where the virus came. It is all assumptions that scientists and researchers can make. Researchers have their view on the origin of HIV and start of AIDS. But how exactly one can state cannot be said. There are many theories about the origin of the HIV virus but none of them have them proved.
At present there is no cure for AIDS, prevention becomes more important. HIV and AIDS are some of those diseases, where precaution is the best treatment. Let's go exploring.
STDs aka sexually transmitted diseases are spreading like wildfire. AIDS is already becoming a big worry. But in the western world, Chlamydia, Genital Herpes, Genital Warts, Gonorrhea etc are increasingly affecting more and more people.
Gonorrhea is a STD. it is also called clap. Bacteria spread gonorrhea. Most of us believe that kissing is very harmless. But kissing can cause Gonorrhea.
AIDS is and continuous to be one of the most feared and dreaded diseases of the 21st century. With education and precaution, this can be reduced to a large extent. Today, AIDS awareness programs are conducted in schools, colleges, churches and in public to get the word around. Together we can strive to make the future HIV free.
Chlamydia is a STD. Chlamydia is also called a silent disease, because many women and sometimes men don't show any early symptoms of Chlamydia.
AIDS and HIV viruses know no boundaries or borders. The virus infects the rich, the poor; populations of developing countries and the developed worlds; the literate and the illiterate. It cuts across creed, sect and age group. Today there isn't a single country in the world that does not have an AIDS infected population whether it be Botswana and Swaziland in Africa where 40 per cent of the population is AIDS and HIV infected or other European and American countries.
Making the decision to get tested for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, is a big choice to make. Taking the option of getting tested at home is a relief to many. Today, there are HIV home testing kits available for you to insure confidentiality of your results.
Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease (STD). The common belief says that you may get a STD, if you indulge in sex. But that is not true.
Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease. It is caused by a bacterium that is transmitted by sexual contact.
Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease (STD). It is a silent disease because the symptoms appear very late in some people.
One of the worst things that can happen to anyone is the manifestation of HIV symptoms. To most, an HIV infection is an automatic death sentence. This fear is the main reason why many people don't get tested, even though they know they are at risk. Perhaps the strongest weapon used to combat this hesitance is information. There are a lot of myths circulating out there regarding HIV symptoms and AIDS symptoms.
In 1981, scientists in the United States and France first recognized the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), which was later discovered to be caused by a virus called the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
