What about HIV?

TODAY WORLDS AIDS DAY

Immune Deficiency is caused by Human Immuno Deficiency Virus (HIV). this virus reduces the strength of  immune system. The immunity system depends upon CD4, Positive T cells, and Macrophages count. As immunity power decreases, HIV effected person can’t tackle several minor infections, which may cause life threat.  

How to recognize HIV?

AIDS means “Acquired Immuno Deficiency syndrome”. Symptoms may not found in the people those who effected with HIV in early stages, Even them self or other persons also will not  recognize about  HIV infection. But in some persons after some time of period and at the time of seroconversion (at the time of anti bodies merging period in blood flow because of infection) “Anti retro viral Syndrome” will be recognize.

At this time patient will suffer like with Fever, Rash on skin, swelling in the limp nodes.  This type of symptoms will appear in HIV effected persons in period of 1 week to 6 weeks. At this time we will know that person is having HIV anti-bodies or not with blood test . 

HIV Symptoms.

• Fever, throat pain, headache, Muscles pain, Arthritis (This symptoms may continue up to 2 weeks)

• Swelling appears in some body organs mainly in limp nodes, which have situated at both sides of throat. (This symptom will be appear in persons those who suffering with HIV from long period)

• Rash on the Face, Neck, Chest.

HIV Symptoms in those who suffering from long period:

• Fever, Stomach Pain, Vomiting, Nausea, Loose Motions, Immediate weight loss.

• Other Infection like, Infection in Lungs, Infection in Brain, Eye infections, East infection in the mouth, White patches on the tongue.

After all these stages…. Immunity system power will be slowly come down. With the loss of immunity system, HIV effected person’s body could not ---------------- any small infection also. This situation leads to life’s risk. This is condition of AIDS.

How HIV leads to AIDS…..

CD -4 cells will provide immunity power to our body. HIV will reduce the CD-4 count. If treatment  is not provided to HIV affected person, his immunity will reduce slowly, as result of which his body cannot tackle minor infections, and this will eventually lead to AIDS. If the CD – 4 count reduces below 200/mm³ the situation is called AIDS.

  

HIV leads to other infections and diseases, such as

·         HIV – Associated Nephropathy (Kidney related diseases)

·         Changes in brain functioning

·         Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C,

·         TB (Tuberculosis)
