HIV OVERVIEW



GEORGE OMBWA
HIV AIDS
HIV/AIDS is a killer disease which destroys human body when it gets into the cells. It multiplies itself into the body and overcomes the protective cells according to the research that has been done with doctors. It has taken so many years searching for the vaccine for the plaque disease hiv but still upto date people are still wondering. While continuing questioning themselves where the disease comes from so that it can be treated from its backroot but the answer has not been found.
                There are alot of questions about this disease towards the founder of arvs which can decrease the HIV infections in human body but cannot really cure it. Some people are asking how they found it but could not find the exact curb. Based on their arguments,you cannot control or lower its rate if you couldn't use the real curb that is HIV for you got this ARV it means there is a curb somwhere but cannot be given out but they can only sustain the peoples lives who are living with this deadly disease.
                The rapid rate at which HIV is increasing in sub saharan Africa countris is questionable since these countries are poor compared to rich countries. Based on the arguments by different people accross the world mostly in the developed countries, the desease was also in certain percentage at their countries but the latest survey shows that it is soon decreasing to zero percent in USA. This brings many questions whether the ones living with the disease have died, and if not where they went.
                It is believed that there is a cure but it cannot be exposed. The only positive take in Sub-Saharan Africa is the prevention method and the ARVS are being given freely to the affected people. It is also believed that the disease is high in Sub-Saharan Africa where it gets spread daily with all precautions which have been taken.
                All is all, AIDs is a killer disease and cannot be treated easily hyence precautions shold be adhered to and taken seriously.

TYPES OF HIV TEST

1.Antibody tests The most common HIV test is an antibody test. Antibodies are part of your immune system that are produced when you come into contact with an infection. Antibody tests look for this immune response. These tests can be finger-prick tests or use blood samples sent to a laboratory. If this result is negative or non-reactive, then you are HIV negative. If the result is positive this does not mean that you definitely have HIV, although it is likely. A small percentage of people can have a ‘false-positive’ result. All positive results need to be confirmed by a second test. In the UK a more sensitive antibody test called a western blot test is usually used to confirm a positive result. The western blot test takes longer (usually a week). It identifies genuine positive results. HIV antibody tests do not work as soon as you are infected because it usually takes four weeks for your body to generate antibodies to HIV. The time between infection and when your body ...

WITCHCRAFT AND HIV

Myth is a widely held but false idea or belief,on the other hand witchcraft is the practice of and belief in magical skills and abilities exercised by solitary practitioners. It is a central to many African conceptions of illness, disease causation and etiology. It varies culturally depending with the society. In many countries especially African countries people belief that HIV/AIDS is a spell that is cursed on a person through witchcraft.since an HIV/AIDS infected person may show signs like diarrhea and loss of weight which are classic symptoms of poisoning through witchcraft, suspicion of is retained as potential explanation for the ultimate reason behind the infection.

DRUG ABUSE CONTRIBUTION TO HIV/AIDS SPREAD

DRUG ABUSE CONTRIBUTION TO HIV /AIDS SPREAD Drug abuse is the over or under use  of any substance that alternates the normal functioning of the body. Drug abuse has been a great contributor to the spread  of HIV/AIDS. Do drugs contribute to the Spread  of HIV and how? It  increases the likely hood  of users to engage in high-risk  sexual practice   with infected individuals. Drug abuse also interferes with  effectiveness  of HIV treatment. Addicts may engage in sexually risky behaviors to obtain drugs or money for drugs. Sharing of needles while doing  drugs also exposes users to  infection since no one really  bothers about  the status of the other drug user. Abuse of substance      increases cancer risk ( ie)  most HIV patients  are smokers hence increased  incidence of lung cancer shortening the lifespan of the patient . Research shows that drug abuse causes greater  injury to...
