Description:

HIV – human immunodeficiency virus – is a virus that attacks cells in the immune system that help fight infection and illness. Only humans can be infected or contracted by the virus. The virus destroys the T-helper cell and makes copies of itself inside them. This gradually reduces a person’s immune system, which means that someone who has HIV and not on antiretroviral treatment will increasingly find it difficult to fight against infections. The rate at which HIV progresses in a person depends on age, medical history, health, and background. – PowerPoint PPT presentation

How good is HIV treatment in India?

Understanding HIV
  • HIV human immunodeficiency virus is a virus
    that attacks cells in the immune system that help
    fight infection and illness. Only humans can be
    infected or contracted by the virus. The virus
    destroys the T-helper cell and makes copies of
    itself inside them. This gradually reduces a
    persons immune system, which means that someone
    who has HIV and not on antiretroviral treatment
    will increasingly find it difficult to fight
    against infections. The rate at which HIV
    progresses in a person depends on age, medical
    history, health, and background.
  • Although the disease has no definite cure, the
    earlier it is detected, the sooner they can
    benefit from treatment, helping them lead better
    health in the long-term. Also, antiretroviral
    therapy can reduce the level of virus in the body
    to such a low level that blood tests cannot
    detect it. Those who have been identified living
    with HIV whose viral load is undetectable cannot
    pass on HIV to others.

Difference between HIV and AIDS
  • HIV is a virus that weakens a persons immune
    system. It is responsible for the deterioration
    of the immune system when left untreated. While
    AIDS acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) is a
    condition, only by contracting HIV, a person
    could develop AIDS.
  • Stage 3 HIV or AIDS develops in a human body when
    the virus has caused significant damage to the
    immune system. The severity of the symptoms and
    conditions may vary from person to person.
    Collectively known as opportunistic infections, a
    person may develop one of the many infections,
    including pneumonia, tuberculosis, and others.
  • Following antiretroviral therapy can help prevent
    stage 3 HIV from developing as HIV does not
    always necessarily progress to become HIV or
    stage 3. HIV can infect a person without having
    AIDS however, anyone diagnosed with AIDS has
    contracted HIV already. As there is no cure, the
    infection never goes away even if AIDS does not
    develop.

Various treatment of HIV
  • The most common HIV-AIDS treatment is the
    antiretroviral therapy (ART), it is recommended
    to those infected by HIV. This therapy does not
    cure the infection, however, they make it a
    manageable chronic infection, by reducing the
    risk of spreading it to others.
  • Other popular treatments include
  • Nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors
    (NRTIs) blockades the reverse transcriptase
    enzyme
  • Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors
    (NNRTIs) binds to and later changes the reverse
    transcriptase enzyme
  • Integrase inhibitors blockades the integrase
    enzyme
  • Protease inhibitors (PIs) blockades the protease
    enzyme
  • A study published in the journal AIDS found that
    during monotherapy era people with HIV at 20 had
    an additional 11.8 years. However, this ha
