2. The acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, known by its
acronym AIDS, is the set of highly diverse
diseases (usually infectious or tumoral processes) resulting
from infection by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
3. Like all HIV virus shares the same general structure
of HIV virus.El is divided into two main types, HIV-
1 and HIV-2. HIV-1 is similar but genetically
different from HIV-2, the latter has a reduced
virulence if compared with HIV-1 but also causes a
disease like AIDS
4. Each of the copies with a specific protein, gives rise to a new
virus.
A similar process may occur and repeated:
The destruction of the host cell
The invasion of the surrounding tissues by an overgrowth.
In the case of man, the aggression of the virus is a noxa. Certain
tissues are more sensitive, as is the case of the epidermis, the
nerve cell and organs.
Bacteria can be met and combated by chemical substances
(drugs).
5. HIV infection that occurs in advanced study AIDS is
acquired through the exchange of bodily fluids such
as blood, semen, vaginal mucosa and the anal
mucosa. Other fluids such as tears and saliva
containing the virus in smaller quantities, so that the
probability of acquiring HIV through them is
negligible.
6. The mind-body therapy were recognized early as an
important aspect of the immune increase: meditation,
visualization… Alternative medicine (also called "natural",
"complementary" despite finding their roots in traditional
ethnomedicine has the undeserved reputation of being
exotic and only for the elite or the middle class.
7. Prevention is to prevent the HIV enters the
body, and thus prevent one of the fluids that
could transmit HIV: blood, semen, vaginal
secretions and breast milk, find an entry.
The correct use of male or female condom is
effective in preventing sexual HIV transmission
method.
8. Having sex with only one partner who is not infected and who has sex
only turn you
Preventing the exchange of bodily fluids through non-penetrative sex
practices
Using a barrier to the exchange, as the male latex condom or female
polyurethane that employees properly prevent the spread
Practicing abstinence from sex
To prevent the spread of HIV through blood transfusion using blood
that's been tested and is
free of viruses. Because the virus can also be transmitted by sharing
syringes and needles tha
t have been in contact with the blood of an HIV carrier or someone
who is sick with AIDS, it is recommended to always use disposable
syringes and needles.
