HOW DO HIV TRANSFECT?

HOW DO HIV TRANSFECT?


The HIV virus is transmitted by contacting the infected individual's body fluids. In other words, the basic principle of contamination is the transfer of body fluids. It can be transmitted through blood, semen, vaginal fluids, anal fluids, and breast milk. It is most often transmitted through syringe or needle sharing and unprotected anal or vaginal intercourse. Therefore, protection during sexual intercourse is the most important step you can take to prevent this disease. Although the HIV transmission rate is high, this virus is not easily transmitted. The reason for this is that the virus cannot survive in environments other than the body. In other words, the HIV virus does not pass from person to person by breathing the same air, hugging, touching it, eating the same captain and drinking from the same glass, using a shared toilet, bathroom, pool, wearing the same clothes, sneezing or coughing. It is transmitted only and only by the transfer of body fluids.

HOW AIDS COMES?

HOW AIDS COMES?

Most people think AIDS is an infectious disease. It is useful to correct this general misconception. AIDS is not contagious because it is caused by damage caused by the HIV virus in the immune system. The infectious thing is the HIV virus that causes AIDS. So the question is, "How is HIV transmitted?" It is more correct to ask. The HIV virus can be found in body fluids such as blood, breast milk and offspring. Fluid transfer is essential for the transmission of the virus to another individual. For this reason, the most common HIV cases are transmitted through sexual intercourse or blood. Since the HIV virus, which has a fragile structure, cannot live outside the body for a long time, it cannot be transmitted through saliva, sneezing, urine or sweat. Therefore, the idea of ​​getting HIV from the toilet bowl, which has become a legend, is completely wrong. According to the Ministry of Health in Turkey between 1985 and 2018, 19 748 HIV (+), also it has 1,172 AIDS cases and 49.4 percent of these cases of sexual origin. This result reveals once again how important it is to use condoms before having sexual intercourse. If you want to find out if you have HIV, you need to have an elisa test. In the Elisa test, it is determined whether a blood sample is taken from an individual who is suspected of HIV or not. The blood sample collected is examined in the laboratory to see if there are anti-HIV antibodies in the blood. Anti-HIV antibodies are produced by the immune system to fight the HIV virus. If the test result is positive, it means that you have the HIV virus. The Elisa test starts giving the correct results 3 weeks after the suspicious relationship. However, since this period can be extended up to three months, it is useful to have a new test in the third month after the relationship.

WHEN DO AIDS SYMPTOMS BEGİN?

When do AIDS symptoms begin? 

There are several symptoms of the HIV virus that causes AIDS.
Some of these symptoms manifest themselves early, while others may appear years later.
2-4 weeks after the HIV virus is transmitted to the individual, it shows fever, various pain in the body and signs of a flu-like illness.
This means that the immune system is fighting the HIV virus.
AIDS symptoms may not show up for years after the body's initial reactions disappear.
However, the carrier continues to spread the HIV virus to other individuals during this time.
The advanced symptoms of AIDS are much more serious and important.
For this reason, if you observe one or more of the following symptoms, you should definitely consult a doctor.
Thrush Throat ache Skin rashes Throat, armpit or groin swelling Lose weight fast Prolonged fever, diarrhea or night sweats

HIV infection is encountered and infected

HIV infection is encountered and infected


1-Contagion: It is the period when HIV infection is encountered and infected (infected) with HIV. 2-Primary HIV infection (Acute HIV Infection): The first reactions to HIV can be seen in the body within 2-4 weeks after encountering HIV. These responses are never observed in many individuals who experience HIV. 3-Seroconversion Period: It is the period when the presence of HIV infection is determined by laboratory tests. 4-Finding Period (Asymptomatic Period): It is the period that starts with the end of primary HIV infection. There are no signs and symptoms in individuals living with HIV during this period. Individuals maintain their standard health status and continue their lives. During this period, which can last for an average of 10-12 years, HIV continues to copy / reproduce itself and reduce the number of CD4 cells using CD4 cells. 5-Early Finding Period (Early Symptomatic Period): It is the period when the symptoms that cause the doctor to go to the doctor as a result of the weakening of the immune system during the absence period. In cases of untreated, abandoned treatment, or resistant to treatment, HIV-related symptoms may occur after the absence period.

HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus),AIDS

HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that is transmitted through blood and unprotected sexual contact and can settle in various tissues of the body, but has its main effects on the immune system. HIV mainly suppresses the immune system by destroying white blood cells called CD4 + T lymphocyte (CD4 cell for short) and leaves the body vulnerable to infections. As a result, diseases such as tuberculosis, diarrhea, meningitis, pneumonia that can be treated under normal conditions cause serious harm to the body, and in some cases, cancers can be seen. Drugs developed for HIV today prevent the virus from multiplying in the body and suppress the immunity, ensuring that HIV-positive people lead a long and healthy life. For this, it is important to start treatment early and continue regularly under the supervision of a doctor.



 What is AIDS? AIDS is an acronym for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. AIDS caused by the HIV virus is the stage when the immune system is vulnerable to infections and cancers and is life threatening. Contrary to what is commonly known, AIDS does not occur in every person who is HIV positive. Thanks to Antiretroviral drugs developed against HIV virus, the immune system can fight infections without serious damage, that is, body resistance does not decrease. In addition to drug treatment after HIV transmission, AIDS may not occur depending on the person's living conditions and body resistance, and there is a possibility that it may occur after 5-15 years or more. Prevalence of HIV in the world and  contagious infection with HIV is common nowadays all over the world. According to the data of the World Health Organization, 37 million people in the world carry HIV virus. 60 percent of HIV-positive people receive antiretroviral therapy. In our country, with the increasing awareness and testing opportunities about HIV, the number of people diagnosed increases. However, , it is considered among the countries AIDS is not common. According to the research conducted by the Ministry of Health between 1985 and 2018, The number of people living with HIV  18, 1736 AIDS cases and 557 persons are available. The age group with the highest number of cases is 30-34 and 25-29 years. Considering the distribution according to the way of transmission, 49% of the cases are reported to be sexually transmitted and 71% of these cases reported to be sexually transmitted are heterosexual.
