Combating AIDS

Journal Entry: Mon Oct 8, 2007, 11:50 AM
I was suposed to do it sine weeks ago, but somethings appear on my personal life, like school tests and other things to do, that i only have time to finish it today. =D

There are some kinds of prevetion against AIDS, but to talk about it i need first talk about all kinds of trasmissions and after this talk about the prevetions.

The first, and more common, method to take AIDS is the sexual contact. Sexual transmission occurs with the contact between sexual secretions of one partner with the rectal, genital or oral mucous membranes of another.With consistent and correct use of condoms, there is a very low risk of HIV infection. To prevent this you have to use codons, studies shows that the number of couples with AIDS that use couples are least than 1%, so if you don't like to die earlier you have to use it when are in a sexual act. The United States government and health organizations creates the "ABC Approach" to lower the risk of acquiring AIDS during sex: Abstinence or delay of sexual activity, especially for youth, Being faithful, especially for those in committed relationships, Condom use, for those who engage in risky behavior. This approach is used in Uganda, when the number of cases of AIDS has decrased from 15% to 5%.

Other people take AIDS when get in contact with body fluids.This transmission route is particularly relevant to drug users, hemophiliacs and recipients of blood transfusions and blood products.Sharing and reusing syringes contaminated with HIV-infected blood represents a major risk for infection with not only HIV, but also hepatitis B and C. Between 5% and 10% of HIV infections worldwide are transmitted through the transfusion of infected blood and blood products. ). It is important to prevent this that people use new or properly sterilized needles for each injection.

There are some cases of mother-to-child transmission to. The transmission of the virus from the mother to the child can occur in utero during the last weeks of pregnancy and at childbirth. In the absence of treatment, the transmission rate between the mother to the child during pregnancy, labor and delivery is 25%. However, when the mother has access to antiretroviral therapy and gives birth by caesarean section, the rate of transmission is just 1%. A number of factors influence the risk of infection, particularly the viral load of the mother at birth (the higher the load, the higher the risk). Breastfeeding increases the risk of transmission by 10–15%. This risk depends on clinical factors and may vary according to the pattern and duration of breast-feeding.

Current treatment for HIV infection consists of highly active antiretroviral therapy, or HAART. This has been highly beneficial to many HIV-infected individuals since its introduction in 1996 when the protease inhibitor-based initially became available. Current optimal options consist of combinations (or "cocktails") consisting of at least three drugs belonging to at least two types, or "classes," of anti-retroviral agents. Typical regimens consist of two nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NARTIs or NRTIs) plus either a protease inhibitor or a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI). Because HIV disease progression in children is more rapid than in adults, and laboratory parameters are less predictive of risk for disease progression, particularly for young infants, treatment recommendations are more aggressive for children than for adults. In developed countries where HAART is available, doctors assess the viral load, rapidity in decline, and patient readiness while deciding when to recommend initiating treatment.

I think that know i put all i want about AIDS, i will be very thankful with you if you have read my two journals that talk about this. Think that many people die every day because of AIDS and if you want to change it you have to show people what AIDS really is and what they have to don't get this. If everyone start to do it we can change what is happening with the world, because the unique way to change the History is if each men, and women of course, do your part to we have a better world. ;)
