The exact origin of HIV is unknown, as yet, but some scientists argue that some sort of virus, called SIVcpz, a Simian immunodeficiency virus from chimpanzees, which are used and is now in chimpanzees, in a few places in Africa .
Cases of HIV:
The spread of HIV in the body is in such a way that the virus Cleaves the cryptogram intrinsic cells used by the immune system, particularly cells, the “CD4 cells” and uses the inherent natural question regarding the creation of copies themselves. The body is able to more the’CD4 “cells, but sooner or later the virus HIV, the number of CD4 cells at a very low level, which in turn, in the end so that the functioning of the immune system.
The spread of HIV outside of the system is due to the transfer of fluids from the body, such as blood or semen. How could this virus be transmitted through sexual intercourse, including anal and oral sex. The risk of HIV transmission is also available in the sharing of needles while injecting illegal drugs. HIV can be transmitted from mother to child. But today there are medications available and the opportunity to enter the case. HIV through blood transfusions.
The symptoms of HIV:
The first phase of infection is called primary HIV infection. ” The people of this virus affects more than half of people develop the symptoms are usually about 15 to 45 days after infection. The symptoms are painful joints, fever, muscle pain, neck pain, and swollen glands, tired faster than usual and the appearance of a blotchy rash on the chest.
In general, the symptoms are very mild and tend to see other problems, such as fever or cold. These symptoms do not show any increase over a long period. This is called “asymptomatic HIV infection.”
This virus is to grow internally, and also damage the immune system. If the virus is and is not treated, is again the number of CD4 cells in the body at a very low level, and this could cause the immune system to stop functioning. This damages the immune system is usually done over a period of ten years. This in turn would lead inexorably to grow into a serious infection.
Symptoms of a serious infection that, night sweats, dry cough, unexplained weight loss, high fever, which has argued for a long time, blurred vision, mouth or tongue is white spots, shortness of breath, diarrhea or constant glands swell even more and this situation will continue for three or more months.
Treatment of HIV:
The first step would be to an HIV clinic and advice. Then it would be a regular blood tests, these tests may be to control the viral load and CD4 cell counts. There is no vaccine or drugs available to treat HIV has been completed. But there are also drugs such as HAART is available, in order to slow the rate of the virus and give you a long life.
There are also various events and therapies in combination with medication, the patient a better life.
