AIDS The Killer disease, , Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, HIV,The Untreatable disease, Sexually Transmitted Disease.

AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrom) The Killer Disease:


Are You Suffering From AIDS?
Is there any chance that you can develop AIDS in future?
Is AIDS attack a person suddenly?
Is Sexual activity the only cause of AIDS spread?
Is AIDS a real killer?
Is there any treatment for AIDS?
Who is more suffering from AIDS, Male or Female?


    If a person hear the name AIDS, the above questions must arise in his/her mind. The name of AIDS is so horrifying the normally we termed it as death. Today I am going to discuss brief detail about AIDS.

AIDS Abbrevation:

A: Acquired

I & D: immunodeficiency(immunity is disrupted)

S: Syndrome: Means many systems and organs are involved i.e. not limited to one system.

Cause of AIDS:
The cause of AIDS is a virus known as HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) which may transmitted from affected person to unaffected person by different ways.

What HIV actually Do In body:

Normally when virus enter to the body the body's natural immune system destroy that virus but the method of HIV virus is unique it directly attack on Immune cells (CD4 helper cells) of the body and destroy it ,leaving body unprotected from other pathogens and the other diseases easily spread.

Complication Of AIDS:

As HIV destroy the body's immunity other pathogen or disease causing agent taking advantages of body's weak defense system and spread in body cause multiple disease in different systems of body.


Development Of AIDS:
From the when HIV get entry into the body to the development of AIDS it takes 8 to 10 years.
note: HIV and AIDS is different. AIDS is disease which is caused by HIV which is a virus.

Spread Of AIDS, HIV:
Some people believe that AIDS is spread only by sexual relationship with many people and specially with prostitutes (in some countries) . But actually the AIDS also spread by the follow ways..

Contact with bodily fluid of affected person.
Transfusion of blood from affected person.
Reuse of Razors, Toothpaste, Tattoo needles, Syringes etc

From Where HIV(AIDS) came from?

There are different theories about this, two of these I am discussing here.

1. According to some biologists a female in recent past having sexual relation with a monkey causes the transfer the virus from that monkey to female, the female the sex with a human male causing the transfer of virus to him and then he transfer the virus to a prostitute and from her the virus spread rapidly.

2. According to other theory in World War 2 in a wheat form many monkey were killed and HIV virus persent in them enter into the nearby wheat and from that then enter into the human race.


Treatment Of AIDS:

The is no cure for AIDS, all the medications used only slow down the progression of Virus.
Its means that if HIV enter to a person's body normally it will take 8 to 10 years for the development of AIDS but with medication it will takes 14 to 16 years.
In developed cases the treatment is to treat the underlying cause or improving immunity.

Prevention Of AIDS:

1.Avoid sexual relations with many people, also avoid sexual relations with same gender.
2. Do not use Razors toothpaste, syringe and tattoo needle used by other
3. Screen blood before transfusion
4. Take your regular blood test
