AIDS

AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. AIDS is a disease

caused as a result of breeding the HIV virus (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) in
the human body, which it attacks white blood cells (CD4 cells) that cause damage
to the immune system. The loss or reduction in body resistance is easy to make
the patient infected with various diseases including even mild illness.
The virus HIV attacks CD4 cells and makes it a breeding ground of new HIV
virus, and then destroying it so it can not be used again. As we all know that white
blood cells is necessary for the immune system. Without the body's immune
system so when we are attacked by disease, our body is weak and does not
attempt to fight outbreaks of disease and consequently we may die even if
exposed to influenza or common cold.
When the human body exposed to the HIV virus it is not directly cause or suffer
from AIDS, but needed a long time and even years for HIV to cause AIDS or HIV
positive are deadly.
# Mode of transmission of HIV AIDS virus
1. Through the blood. eg blood transfusion, blood exposed to HIV + on the injured
skin, syringes, etc..
2. Through semen, semen (sperm or semen Men). for example, a man sex with
their partners without using condoms or other safeguards, oral sex, etc.
3. Through the vaginal fluid in women. for example: Women who have
intercourse without a safety net, borrowing and lending of sex aids, oral sex, etc..
4. Through the BMS (ASI). for example; Baby drinking milk from women hiv +,
men drinking breast milk spouse, etc..
The body fluids that contain no HIV virus in people with HIV + among others
Saliva (saliva or saliva), feces (stool or feces), tears, sweat Water
and Urine (Urine or urine).
# Signs and Symptoms Diseases AIDS
A person affected by the HIV virus in the early onset generally do not provide the
typical signs and symptoms, patients only have a fever for 3 to 6 weeks depending
on the immune system when it got in contact with HIV virus. Once conditions
improved, people affected by the HIV virus will stay healthy in recent years and
slowly decreased body kekebelan / weak to fall ill because of recurrent fever
attacks. One way to get certainty is to undergo HIV antibody test especially if a
person feels has conducted activities at risk of contracting the HIV virus.
The signs and symptoms seen in AIDS patients include the following:

1. Respiratory tract. Patients experiencing shortness of breath, stop for a moment

of breath, cough, chest pain and fever bleak other viral infections (pneumonia).
Not infrequently the diagnosis at an early stage of HIV disease AIDS suspected
tuberculosis.
2. Digestive tract. AIDS disease patients showed signs and symptoms such as loss
of appetite, nausea and vomiting, often experiencing fungal diseases in the oral
cavity and esophagus, as well as having a chronic diarhea.
3. Body weight. Patients experiencing the so called wasting syndrome, namely
loss of body weight up to 10% below normal due to disturbances in protein and
energy systems in the body as it is known as malnutrition as well as interference
absorption / absorption of food in the digestive system resulting in chronic
diarhea, condition tired and weak less powerful.
4. System Persyarafan. Interference with the central persyarafan resulting in less
memory, headaches, difficulty concentrating, are often looked confused and slow
response limbs. At the end persyarafan system (Peripheral) will cause pain and
tingling in the palm of the hand and foot, the tendon reflexes are less, always have
low blood pressure monitor and Impotence.
5. System Integument (skin Network). Patients experiencing an attack of
chickenpox virus (herpes simplex) or carar fire (herpes zoster) and various skin
diseases that cause pain in the skin tissue. Others are experiencing hair on the skin
tissue infections (Folliculities), stained dry skin (outer layer of skin cracks) and
Eczema or psoriasis.
6. Urinary and reproductive tract in women. Patients often have a fungal disease
of the vagina, it is as an early sign of HIV infection. Injury to the urinary tract,
suffering from the disease than men syphillis and then more numerous women
who suffered from smallpox. Other people with AIDS are women many of which
become inflamed cavity (bone), pelvic known as the term 'pelvic inflammatory
disease (PID)' and experienced an irregular menstrual period (abnormal).
# Handling and Treatment of AIDS
Although from different countries continue to perform researchnya in addressing
HIV-AIDS, but until now no cure AIDS disease including serum or vaccine that
can cure people of HIV virus causes AIDS. The purpose of the provision of
medicines in people with AIDS is to help improve endurance, enhance quality of
life for them that are known to the HIV virus in an effort to reduce the birth rate
and death.
We all expected to not isolate and avoid people with HIV because they need help
and support in order to continue to live without much expense and passed away
into Rahmatullah with sincerity.
