AIDS (Human Immunodeficiency Virus): This virus is released as a result of the immune system failing. The disease weakens the immune system and makes the person more susceptible to disease. AIDS is the name given to the disease caused by the HIV virus. The Turkish term for it is “Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.” People suffering from this disorder can live their lives as long as they use drugs.
Three months after entering the body, this virus can be detected using an ELISA test. Not everyone infected with this virus will experience symptoms right away. This, however, does not prevent the disease from spreading.
In our society, there are false and unconscious interpretations of AIDS. Touching, kissing, sharing the same glass or plate, or skin-to-skin contact do not transmit the HIV virus. HIV/AIDS is only transmitted through blood (blood transfusion) and sexual contact. Furthermore, this virus is passed from mother to baby during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
The Most Common AIDS Disease Symptoms:
The main symptoms of the disease are fever, swelling and enlargement of the lymph nodes, pharyngitis, skin rashes, significant pains in the joints and muscles, diarrhea, headache, nausea and accompanying vomiting, enlargement of the liver and spleen, mouth sores, and thrush. This condition, however, cannot be self-diagnosed. If you experience any of these symptoms, you should contact a medical school right away.
CD4 cells are destroyed when AIDS symptoms appear, and these symptoms can last for 8-10 years. The majority of people who have these immune-destroying diseases die as a result of simple infections. As with most diseases, early detection is critical in order to extend the patient’s life.
How Is AIDS Handled?
The most important practice for this disease, for which no cure has yet been discovered, is to minimize the patient’s symptoms and to provide the patient with a better quality of life, free of aches and pains and other infectious diseases caused by the HIV virus.
Once the human body has been infected with the HIV virus, it cannot be eradicated. Various drugs, however, have been developed to mitigate the effects of this virus. The most well-known drug used in the treatment of ADIS is AZT (Zidovudine). This medication stops the HIV virus from reproducing. The patient’s quality of life can be improved and survival time can be extended with this drug.
In the fight against AIDS, the only thing that can be done is to be protected from it. Most people who have this primarily sexually transmitted disease conceal their discomfort. As a result, while using condoms in sexual relationships may appear simple, it is the most important way to prevent the disease.
