AIDS is not curable but it is preventable. What are the best methods of prevention?
Answer:
AIDS is the serious complication of HIV infection. We can prevent AIDS by controlling HIV infection by means of antiretroviral therapy. We can also prevent AIDS if we prevent contacting from HIV infection. The best method in preventing HIV transmission is through abstinence, self refusal and health education.
Seek medical treatment immediately to avoid worsening of the disease that leads to AIDS. You can visit to barangay health center and discuss your case with the medical personnel. You will be given medical treatment to control HIV but not entirely to cure you for the disease since this disease is still remain untreated.
Here are some list of Antiretroviral Agent
Abacavir, Didanosine, Emtricitabine, Lamivudine, Stavudine, Tenofovir alafenamide, Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, Zidovudine. Antiretroviral agent are given in combination therapy to provide better response.
Explanation:
HIV infection can be transmitted by sexual contact, sharing of infected needles (infected blood entering another body), maternal transference. Knowing all these, a teenager can easily find a way to avoid contacting HIV infection. A teenager should avoid multiple sexual partners or may used condom to protect oneself. Multiple partners have a high chance of contacting HIV infection. Refusal skills to avoid injecting drugs with friends and colleagues. More importantly is through abstinence.
Abstinence pertains to restraining oneself to indulge in something. Example, abstinence in any forms of sexual activities, abstinence in using illegal drugs etc. If no sexual contact are made between two parties, no sexual transmission occur and STIs can be prevented by doing abstinence. Abstinence is effective almost 100 percent. However, there are instances for you to get STIs even if you are doing abstinence through some other mode of transmission like infected needle.
Here is what happen to your body when infected with HIV.
HIV virus will destroys CD4 cells which plays a very important role in the immune system. CD4 cells will trigger the immune response to respond to specific infection attacking the system. If CD4 cells are destroyed, immune response will not be activated making our body prone to opportunistic infection or any form of infections. The HIV virus will not kill us, what kills us is its complication making our body prone to any form of infections. HIV virus will attack the CD4 cells and the virus will injects its genetic materials to the hosts CD4 cells. Genetic coding of CD4 cells can be altered to produce other HIV virions. In doing so, the host CD4 cell is killed and it will not function as it is. Immune response to a certain infection will not be triggered when all CD4 cells are destroyed making our body prone to any type of infection.
