February 6, 2009


HIV doesn’t only spread through unprotected sex. Although, the risk factor is highest through this mode. It also occurs through sharing of shaving equipment and toothbrushes. Surprised? Read further.

Being HIV positive does not necessary means that you will develop AIDS. According to CDC i.e. Centers for disease Control and Prevention when a person’s count of CD4 cells alls below 200 or when a person develops a critical disease as maintained in the list of disease due to AIDS then the person is declared  to have AIDS.

Therefore it becomes very important for HIV positive people to take good medical care. One must consult a doctor and take proper medical care especially prescribed for HIV positive patients. These medicines also help in prevention of chronic diseases like tuberculosis and other form of sexually transmitted diseases.

Women, on the other hand need to take more care once they have been detected as HIV positive. The risk of certain medical problems increase in their case. They get more prone to cervical cancer and Vaginal Yeast infection.

Human papillomavirus infection occurs more frequently in such women and it often paves way for development of cervical cancer. The yeast infection in regions of vagina is also very frequent. It therefore becomes very important to seek complete HIV treatments.

If a HIV positive women is pregnant then the medical care better be double. Another important thing is that HIV patents must confide with their doctors, nurses, and dentists that they are HIV positive. It is of outmost importance. The information is always kept confidential.

As per laws, an HIV patient will always be helped out by any health professional. For far three types of treatments have been developed that include Prevention against opportunistic diseases and infections, treating the current HIV relevant infection, treatment with Anti-retroviral drugs (also called HAART, Highly Active Anti-retroviral Treatment) and creating awareness about how to live healthy.
