HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a retrovirus that affects the human immune system and can lead to AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) if left untreated. HIV infection is usually transmitted through sexual contact, blood transfusions, shared needles, or mother-to-child transmission. The causes, symptoms and treatment of HIV infection are as follows:
Reasons:
- HIV infection is spread exclusively through bodily fluids infected with the presence of the HIV virus, such as blood, semen, vaginal secretions or breast milk.
- The most common modes of transmission include unprotected sex, sharing needles, and mother-to-child transmission during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Symptoms:
- Acute HIV infection usually has symptoms similar to flu, such as fever, sore throat, muscle pain, swollen lymph nodes, etc. However, in many cases, acute infection may be asymptomatic.
- The symptoms of AIDS appear later, when the HIV infection has already seriously damaged the immune system. These symptoms include persistent diarrhea, severe weight loss, prolonged fever, night sweats, skin rashes, frequent infections, etc.
His treatment:
- There is currently no cure for HIV infection, but with the help of effective antiretroviral therapy (ART), HIV infection has become almost completely treatable.
- ART contains drugs that prevent the virus from multiplying in the body, thus enabling the immune system to strengthen and slow down the progression of the disease.
- Taking ART regularly lowers the load of the HIV virus in the blood, thereby reducing the transferability of the disease to others.
- With effective ART treatment, HIV-infected people can live a long and healthy life and reduce the risk of developing AIDS.
It is important to emphasize that early detection and treatment are key in the case of HIV infection. With regular screening tests and a healthy lifestyle, as well as appropriate medical treatment, HIV infection becomes a manageable condition and can significantly improve the quality of life.
