AIDS
Is a disease that still has no cure and is caused by the HIV virus through needle sharing and sex, which are the most common modes of transmission. It is a disease that needs treatment and special attention as it affects the immune system and without proper care, the individual is very weak and can be brought to death.
Treatment
The treatment of AIDS is to take a daily cocktail of drugs. These medicines are provided free of charge by the government to all HIV positive when they have tests that show the high viral load and low immune system.
What the Ministry of Health says about the beginning of the treatment of AIDS is HIV Positive individuals should start treatment only when the viral load is greater than 100.000/ml and CD4 is less than 500mm cubic blood.
The cocktail works by decreasing the viral load and strengthens the system of the individual inunológico. Despite not represent a cure for AIDS, greatly increases the years of the carrier of the virus.
It is very important that the cocktail is taken as directed by your doctor. In the right dose at the right time every day. Not having such care causes the virus to be even stronger, facilitating the emergence of other diseases.
Prevention
The prevention of AIDS can be made simple. Just use a condom during intimate contact between partners and avoid sharing needles and sharp objects that may be contaminated with the HIV virus.
In hospitals only after receiving blood to be sure that it was tested against AIDS before is also one way to prevent the disease, although this is not the most common form of contamination, as a rule, all hospitals carry out the HIV testing in whole blood that is received donor
