Important to Knowing HIV AIDS

KNOWING HIV AIDS

Now, in all parts of the world, especially in Indonesia increased HIV-AIDS disease more rampant. It would be nice if we know little bit about HIV AIDS itself. Hopefully this can bebeneficial for the survival of the nation's future.

AIDS itself is a continuation of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. AIDS is a set of symptoms of infection caused by the HIV virus which works by damaging the immune system in the human body. HIV is a continuation of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus.Which means the virus is eating human immune and make it as energy to breed.

Someone who has been exposed to HIV do not necessarily she was suffering from AIDS, because it took a dozen years to someone who has been infected with HIV become AIDS sufferers. This HIV virus preys on the human immune system until eventually the sufferer can not do anything, then that's when he was hit by AIDS.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or commonly abbreviated as CDC estimates that 25% of HIV-positive patients are not aware of the health conditions and their HIV status. To the knowledge of the early symptoms of this disease is very important to prevent more severe and difficult to overcome.

At least by knowing more about the disease early for those who have it will provide intensive prevention sufferers in order to better survive longer than AIDS who have severe disease. So know the symptoms of HIV to overcome one crucial point.

The best way to tell if someone has HIV / AIDS or not is to perform a medical examination through blood tests. When testing is not possible, there are certain signs that can indicate whether someone has HIV / AIDS or not, or at least know the symptoms.

It must be remembered that a person with HIV usually do not show signs for at least several months to several years.

In adults, three major signs of AIDS are:

1. Lost 10% of body weight over one month without cause.

2. Diarrhea is more than one month.

3. A fever that lasts for more than one month either constant or come and go

In adults, 5 minor signs of AIDS are:

1. Dry cough that does not heal.

2. Itchy skin all over the body.

3. Herpes zoster (chicken pox-like, or caused by viruses that also cause chicken pox, herpes viruses) that do not heal.

4. Candidiasis, a white, raised rash on the mouth, tongue, or throat.

5. Swollen glands (neck, armpit, or groin) with or without an active infection.

Adults can be diagnosed with AIDS, if it has at least 2 major signs and one minor sign. But, that's enough to make a diagnosis of AIDS if the person has cancer of the skin (called Karposi, which is usually reddish, purple, or black spots on the skin that can become large and painful) or cryptococcal meningitis (infection of the covering of the brain that causes fever, stiff neck, headache, confusion, and inability to wake up).

In children, three major signs of AIDS are:

1. Weight loss or slow growth.

2. Severe diarrhea for 14 days or more.

3. Fever for more than a month.

In children, 5 minor signs of AIDS are:

1. Itchy skin all over the body.

2. Swollen glands (neck, armpit, or groin).

3. Candidiasis (white spots) in the mouth, tongue, or throat.

4. Infections of the ear, throat, and other infections.

5. A cough that does not heal.

If there is one of his relatives, friends or even your own you are experiencing symptoms as above. do not be afraid and ashamed to consult a doctor and nearest hospital.

For the modes of transmission of HIV virus itself can only be through:

1. Sexual intercourse with multiple partners (multiple partners) without using safety devices (condoms).

2. Through blood transfusion.

3. Through a mother's breast milk given to children with AIDS.

4. The use of hypodermic needles, piercings, tattoos are not sterile.

For more information, the HIV virus cant be transmitted by touching, sharing a bathroom, sharing eating utensils, kissing (unless there are injuries in lips). We do not need to isolate HIV-AIDS sufferers, because they are equals with our. There is no thing that distinguishes and dangerous for us.

For prevention, you should not have sex before marriage, although forced to have to do it my advice is always use safety devices (condoms).

Hopefully this information useful. Thank you.
