NASTY HIV

HIV is an infection that can be caused by sharing needles, blood transfers, and secretions coming in contact with tissues, or transmission from infection to newborn during pregnancy. This infection can be spread through vaginal, oral, or anal sex.

            Symptoms can take up to 10 or 20 years before you can even notice. Normally it takes HIV one year to turn into AIDS, but some people have stronger immune systems. Physical symptoms include fever, muscle aching muscles and joints, sore throat, and swollen glands in the throat.

            It can take years before these symptoms occur, because not all HIV-infected people experience these symptoms, and doctors are still trying to figure out why.

            If this disease is not treated, then you can live years with it until it finally turns into an STD called AIDS which has no cure and targets your white blood cells and kills them, that’s why some people have a low white blood cell count, when you have HIV you are more likely to have a high white blood cell count, because your white blood cells are trying to fight off the virus from damaging your body any worse than it already is.

            If someone was to have a baby with this infecton it is possible that the baby will be born with it. The risk of HIOV transmission to the newborn is 25%-35%. The fetus can get EFV, a fetal toxicity.

            The only treatment you can get is for HIV so that it slows down and not turn into AIDS but it never goes away you will have to live with it forever.

            Abstinence is the best prevention.
