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 .

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

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.
