What Aids is ?
AIDS (Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome) is the terrorize of the last two decades of the twentieth century.
AIDS (Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome) is the terrorize of the last two decades of the twentieth century.
The WHO (World Health Organisation) has estimated that till 2010AD and after ,it become nearly 40 million above of the entire world population would be affected by the HIV (Human Immuno Deficiency Virus) infection Over 10 million children are likely to be affected.
The AIDS virus destroys the body’s immune system against disease.
Hence the person becomes susceptible to all kinds of diseases and slowly dies.
It was first identified in 1981 in the United States.
Doctors have yet to find a cure.
The disease can be transmitted only through sexual relation and infected blood.
AIDS is specified clinical entity associated with infection by a virus, a retrovirus called HTLV-III (Human T-Lymphotoric Virus type III) or LAV (Lymphadenopathy – Associated Virus) depending upon the manner in which the virus was isolated by various research groups.
The internal committee on taxonomy on viruses has collectively named it Human Immuno Deficiency Virus (HIV).
The AIDS virus primarily infects certain white blood cells, including macrophages and T helper cells, that play major roles in the functioning of the body’s immune system.
The virus reproducing in these cells, eventually, disrupting patients become susceptible to certain illnesses that do not normally occur or that normally are not serious. These clinically unhealthy persons are called opportunistic because they take advantage of damage to the immune system.

Symptoms Causing HIV Virus in Body
The AIDS virus can be present in the body for more than 10 years without producing any outward sign of illness.
At least half of the people infected with HIV virus eventually have developed symptoms associated with other, usually less serious conditions. With the HIV infections, however, these symptoms are prolonged and are often more severe.
Another major symptom of HIV infected body is a severe wasting syndrome, resulting in substantial Weight loss and a general decline in health. In addition, the virus may infect the brain or central nervous system and produce thinking or memory disorder and coordination problems.
All these symptoms are sometimes called AIDS-related complex (ARC)

How AIDS Transmitting in media ?
Scientists have identified the three media in which the AIDS virus is transmitted.
1. Intimate sexual contact
2. Exposure to infected blood and
3. Transmission from an infected pregnant woman to her foetus.
Treatment for AIDS
According to the latest. AIDS research the
1. TIAS injection
2. Gene Therapy and
3. Vaccines are in present day practice.
How AIDS Preventive Measures can be taken?
To prevent transmission of the AIDS virus, intimate sexual contact with anyone who is or might be infected with the virus should be avoided.
The other preventive measure is to restrict sexual intimacy to one person.
