AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is a disease that is the way it works to destroy the human immune system. AIDS is caused by a virus called HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) enters the body. HIV quickly quell the human immune system. Once the immune system paralyzed, person with AIDS will die of a disease (called secondary disease), which is usually eliminated by the body's immune system, whether it is still good.
AIDS is a disease that most dreaded at this time. The HIV virus that causes the disease, damage the body's defense system (immune system), so that people who suffer from this disease, the ability to defend against attacks of the disease is reduced. A person who is HIV positive, do not necessarily have AIDS. Many of the cases in which a person is HIV-positive but not sick in the long term. However, HIV is on the person's body will damage the immune system. As a result, viruses, fungi and bacteria are usually harmless to extremely dangerous due to damage to the body's immune system.
A survey of people in the past 20 years more than 60 million people infected with HIV. Of that amount, 20 million people died of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). In 2001, UNAIDS (Joint United Nations Programme on HIV / AIDS) estimates that the number of people living with HIV / AIDS (PLWHA) 40 million.
The case of AIDS was first discovered in the United States in 1981, but these cases provide little information on the origin of this disease. Now there is clear evidence that AIDS is caused by a virus known as HIV.
HIV is part of a group of virus called a lentivirus discovered in nonhuman primates. Overall, the lentivirus is known as a monkey virus called simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV). HIV is a descendant of SIV. Certain types of SIV similar to the two types of HIV, HIV-1 and HIV-2, which attacked one of the white blood cells are lymphocytes.
In Indonesia, the first AIDS case was found in 1987. A tourist is 44 years old from the Netherlands died in Sanglah Hospital, Bali. Strange's death was caused by AIDS.
Until late 1987, there were six people diagnosed with HIV, two of them with AIDS. From 1987 to December 2001, of the 671 people living with AIDS, up to 280 people died. HIV spread rapidly around the world. Like the iceberg phenomenon in the ocean, people with HIV or AIDS is only a little on the surface.
Transmission of HIV / AIDS AIDS is a disease that is contagious. But not as easily transmitted as influenza virus or other viruses. The HIV virus can live in all body fluids, but have the ability to transmit HIV to other people just in: blood, vaginal fluids and semen.
transmission of HIV / AIDS which is known by: * Blood transfusions for people with HIV. * Having sex with someone with HIV. * A small percentage (25-30%) pregnant women with HIV to her fetus. * Syringe or syringes, tattooing device / holes that are shared by people with HIV or AIDS, and * The milk of mothers with children susuannya AIDS.
Measures to prevent HIV / AIDS How to prevent entry of disease are generally familiar with healthy living, ie eating healthy foods, exercise, and healthy relationships. several steps to avoid HIV or AIDS, among others: * Avoid sexual intercourse outside marriage and try to link only with one partner. * Use a condom every time, especially for groups at high risk behavior. * A mother whose blood has been tested HIV positive should not be pregnant because it can transmit the virus to the fetus. You want to get pregnant, when should always consult a doctor. * People belonging to groups at high risk of behavior should not be a blood donor. * The use of needles and other needle devices, such as acupuncture, tattoo needles, piercing needles, disposable and should only be guaranteed sterility. Stay away from drugs, which showed that the spread of HIV / AIDS among panasun (UDI) 3-5 times faster than other risk behaviors. At Kampung Bali, Jakarta, 9 out of 10 injecting drug users HIV-positive.
Misconceptions about HIV / AIDS AIDS is a disease caused by the HIV virus, which until now has not been found in drug and vaccine that is useful to deal with AIDS. That's why AIDS is one of the most dreaded disease today. The emergence of a faulty assumption on the actions and attitudes related to HIV / AIDS reinforces this disease that is feared.
Therefore, be aware that HIV / AIDS is not transmitted through: * Working with people affected by HIV infection. * Bites from mosquitoes or other insects. * The touch of your hands or hug each other. * Sex with condoms. * The use of cutlery together. * The use of bathrooms. * Spray a sneeze or cough.
