PROGRESS IN CURING HIV

PROGRESS IN CURING HIV
   
  Advance over the last 30 years have helped transform HIV from fatal disease into a chronic manageable condition for many people. Innovation in treatment and access are at the care of this progress. The advent of antiretrovial therapy (ART), once - daily single tablet regimes with three medications combined into one pill and many subsequent improvements in single tablet regimes combining efficacy and longterm safety represent some of the most significant milestones that have helped bring radical change in the outlook for people living with HIV

Progress in treatment has been transformative, but significant gaps care still remain. HIV continues to be a major global public health issue 
Globally it's estimated that more than 36 million people are living HIV with acute challenges. With the goal of reducing the individual and societal burden of HIV,prevention of new infectious is as important as treating those who are living with HIV.

We all believe that anyone living with or at risk of HIV should benefit from latest treatment innovation access to medicines. For almost 30 years we have at fore front to fight against HIV by leading advances in treatment, prevention and access. Our experience, dedication and infrastructure are helping us move forward and make major investment in further expanding the options for HIV treatment and prevention. Equally as important, our connection with the field, built dacades of collaboration research and development, enable us to help advance preclinical and clinical programs with the goal of achieving functional cure of HIV

Prevention Methods and practices are essential too in the fight against HIV.The development of a vaccine would save millions of lives. However, researchers haven't yet discovered an effective vaccine for HIV but through taking seriously the preventive methods from acquiring the infection would be better.

    Abstinence among youth and faithfulness among married persons is the best preventive measure against HIV ...prevention is better than cure. ..The constant challenges one goes through when infected . The hospital trips and what nots should be warning enough that people need to prevent it... As in this case many scientists have researched far and wide but no cure has been found...

    HIV is only manageable but cannot be cured. The first attempt to cure HIV was done in Berlin , through a bone marrow transplant. Several other transplants were done on few people but still not cured. Finding alternative drugs stronger than ARVs to sustain ones physical and mental health would be of ease

    There's no cure for HIV and AIDS.I suggest people live with HIV should start antiretroviral therapy(ART) as soon as possible though ART can't cure HIV but HIV Medicines might help the infected people to live longer, healthier lives.. these ART can also reduced the risk of HIV transmissions and it's main goal is to reduce a persons viral load to an undetectable level. But all I can Say is that Abstinence is the only 100% effective way to prevent HIV.

    Prevention should be major reason for controlling spread of HIV AIDS and this can happen by prevention of mother to child transmission by an elected cesarean section instead of normal delivery and prevention of transmission through blood and other blood products by screening all donated blood

    Advanced technology and medical capabilities have brought more advanced HIV treatments. With those new methods comes better methods of preventing the transmission of HIV.
    Successful antiretroviral treatments can halt the progression of HIV and can decrease a person's viral load to undetectable levels,which eliminates the risk of transmission to a sexual partner, and also pregnant women transmiting the virus to their children through targeted drug therapy.

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. The infected person would then consulte a witchdoctor for medication thus leading to more deaths since they can not find proper medication to prolong their lives.Men and women who believe HIV/AIDS is spread through witchcraft are less likely to use protection (condoms) during sexual intercourse.   ...

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...
