1) AIDS is caused by the HIV virus and results in a deficient immune system. It is transmitted through sexual contact, blood transmission, and from mother to child.
2) HIV attaches to CD4 receptors on T cells. It then integrates into the host cell DNA and uses the cell's machinery to replicate. This kills T cells and weakens the immune system.
3) As the virus progresses it is staged based on CD4 count and presence of opportunistic infections. Antiretroviral treatment aims to suppress viral load and boost immunity.

Etiology, pathophysiology, Pharmacotherapy of AIDS .pptxdrsriram2001
Definition of AIDS:
Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a late stage of HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) infection. It is characterized by a severe depletion of the immune system, making the individual susceptible to opportunistic infections and certain cancers.
2. Etiology (HIV):
HIV Structure:
HIV is a retrovirus that primarily targets CD4+ T cells, a crucial component of the immune system.
The virus has two main types: HIV-1 and HIV-2, with HIV-1 being the most common and virulent worldwide.
3. Transmission:
Modes of Transmission:
HIV is primarily transmitted through unprotected sexual intercourse with an infected person.
It can also be transmitted through sharing of contaminated needles, from an infected mother to her child during childbirth or breastfeeding, and through blood transfusions with infected blood (though this is rare now due to blood screening).
4. Clinical Stages:
Acute HIV Infection:
Occurs within the first few weeks after exposure.
Presents with flu-like symptoms such as fever, fatigue, and swollen lymph nodes.
Chronic HIV Infection (Asymptomatic Stage):
Can last for several years with few or no symptoms.
The virus is actively replicating, and the immune system is gradually compromised.
Symptomatic HIV Infection (Symptomatic Stage):
As the immune system weakens, symptoms such as persistent fever, weight loss, and diarrhea may occur.
AIDS:
Diagnosed when the immune system is severely compromised, typically when the CD4+ T cell count falls below a critical threshold.
Opportunistic infections (e.g., Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia) and certain cancers (e.g., Kaposi's sarcoma) become more common.
5. Preventive Measures:
Condom Use:
Consistent and correct use of condoms during sexual intercourse helps prevent the sexual transmission of HIV.
Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP):
Antiretroviral medications, when taken consistently by HIV-negative individuals at high risk, can prevent HIV infection.
Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP):
Emergency treatment with antiretroviral drugs within 72 hours of potential exposure to HIV to prevent infection.
Needle Exchange Programs:
Reducing the sharing of needles among injecting drug users helps prevent the transmission of HIV.
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a lentivirus (a subgroup of retrovirus) that causes HIV infection and over time acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2. DEFINITION
•AIDS stands for Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome.
•It is a deficiency of immune system, acquired during the life time of an individual
indicating that it is not a congenital disease.
•AIDS was first reported in USA amongst homosexuals in 1981and last year or so, it
has spread all over the world killing more than 25 million people.
•In India, AIDS infection was detected in 1986.
3. PATHOGEN- HIV
•AIDS is caused by Human Deficiency Virus(HIV), a name given in 1986 by the
International committee on viral Nomenclature.
•This virus belongs to a group of virus called Retrovirus which have an envelope
consisting of a lipid bilayer derived from host membrane.
•This envelope encloses the RNA genome .
•HIV consists of a core RNA with Reverse Transcriptase surrounded by a protein coat5.
•The protein coat around the core consists of a protein called P24.Outside this protein coat
is a layer composed of another protein called P17.
•The outermost envelope consists of a phospholipid bilayer studded with
glycoproteins(GP120 and GP41).
•The major cell infected by HIV is the Helper T-lymphocytes that bears CD4 receptor site.
•The attachment of virus to CD4 receptor site is by help of GP120 on the protein coat of
the virus.
4. MODES OF TRANSMISSION
Sexual contact with infected person.
By transfusion of contaminated blood and blood
products.
By sharing infected needles as in case of intravenous
drug abusers.
From infected mother to her child through placenta.
5. RISK FACTORS
• Individuals who have
multiple sex partners.
• Drug addicts, who
takes drugs
intravenously.
• Individuals who
require repeated
blood transfusion.
• Children born to an
infected mother.
6. CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS

8. NEUROLOGICAL MANIFESTATIONS
Most common neurologic symptom.Peripheral Neuropathy
• It may occur in a variety of patterns with distal sensory polyneuropathy or distal symmetric neuropathy the most
frequent occurring type.
• It can lead to significant pain and functional impairment.
It was formerly referred to as AIDS dementia complex.
HIV Encephalopathy
• It is a clinical syndrome that is characterized by a progressive decline in cognitive, behavioural and motor functions as
a direct result of HIV.
It is a demyelinating CNS disorder that affects the oigodendroglia.
Progressive Multifocal
Leukoencephalopathy
• Cllinical manifestation often begin with mental confusion, and rapidly progress to include blindness, aphasia, muscle
weakness and paresis.
9. DEPRESSIVE MANIFESTATIONS
CAUSES OF DEPRESSION ARE MULTIFACTORAL.
It include:
History of preexisting mental illness.
Neuropsychiatric disturbances.
Psychosocial factors
People may experience guilt and shame, loss of self esteem, feeling of helplessness
and worthlessness and suicidal ideation.
10. INTEGUMENTARY MANIFESTATIONS
Cutaneous manifestations are associated with HIV infection.
1. Kaposi sarcoma and opportunistic infections such as herpes zoster and herpes
simplex are associated with painful vesicles that disrupt skin integrity.
Molluscum contagiosum- a viral infection characterized by deforming plaque
formation.
Sebborheic dermatitis- it is associated with an indurated , diffuse, scaly rash involving
the scalp and face.
Patient with AIDS may also exhibit a generalized folliculitis associated with dry,
flaking skin or atopic dermatitis such as eczema or psoriasis.
11. GYNECOLOGIC MANIFESTATIONS
Persistent, recurrent vaginal candidiasis may be first sign of HIV infection in in women.
Women with HIV infection is more susceptible to genital ulcers and venereal warts.
Human Papillomavirus(HPV) causes venereal warts and is a risk factor for cervical
intraepithelial neoplasia.
Pelvic inflammatory disease are common.
12. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
The HIV life cycle is complex and consists of the following steps:
1) Attachment: The GP120 and GP41 glycoproteins of HIV bind with the host’s uninfected CD4+
receptor and chemokine coreceptors, usually CCR5, which result in fusion of HIV with the CD4+ T-
cell membrane.
2) Uncoating: Only the contents of HIV’s viral core are emptied into theCD4+ T-cell.
3) DNA synthesis: HIV changes its genetic material from RNA to DNA through action of reverse
transcriptase.
4) Integration: New viral DNA enters the nucleus of the CD4+ T cell and through the action of
integrase is blended with the DNA of the CD4+ T- cell, resulting in permanent, lifelong infection.
5) Transcription: When the cd4+ T cell is activated, the double stranded DNA forms single stranded
messenger RNA (mRNA), which builds new viruses.
6) Translation: The mRNA creates chains of new proteins and enzymes that contain the components
needed in the construction of viruses.
13. 7) Cleavage: The HIV enzyme protease cuts the polyprotein chain into the individual
proteins that make up new viruses.
8) Budding: New proteins and viral RNA migrate to the membrane of the infected
CD4+ T cell, exit from the cell and start the process all over.
In resting CD4+ cells, HIV can survive in a latent state as an integrated provirus that
produces few or no viral particles.
These resting CD4+ T cells can be stimulated to produce new particles if something
activated them, such as another infection.
When a T cell that harbors this integrated DNA becomes activated against HIV or
other microbes, the cell begins to produce new copies of both RNA and viral proteins.

17. GOALS OF TREATMENT
The major goals for initiating ART are:
1) Reduce HIV- associated morbidity.
2) prolong the duration and quality of survival.
3) restore and preserve the immunologic function.
4) prevent HIV transmission.
19. MEDICAL MANAGEMENT
Treatment of Opportunistic infections.
Prevention of Opportunistic Infection: TMP- SMZ is an antibacterial agent used to
treat various organism causing infection. It also confers cross- protection against
toxoplasmosis and some common respiratory infections.
Antidiarrheal therapy: Therapy with Octreotide acetate, a synthetic analogue of
somatostatin, has been shown to effectively manage chronic diarrhea.
Chemotherapy: Interferon alpha -2b (intron) is approved for use in AIDS related KS.
Antidepressant therapy: Antidepressants such as imipramine, desipramine and
fluoxentine may be used. A psychostimulant such as methylphenidate may be used in
low doses in patients with neuropsychiatric impairment.
Electroconvulsive therapy may be an option for patients with severe depression.
20. Nutritional therapy:
1. Appetite stimulants have been successfully used in patients with AIDS- related
anorexia.
2. Megestrol acetate, a synthetic preparation of progesterone preparation, promotes
significant weight gain and inhibits cytokine IL-1 synthesis.
3. Dronabinol, which is synthetic cannabinol has been used to relieve nausea and
vomiting associated with cancer chemotherapy.
4. oral supplements may be used when diet is deficient in in calories and proteins.
Oral supplements should be lactose free, high in calories and easily digestible protein
and low in fat.
21. COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MODALITIES
People with HIV infection, including those who use illicit drugs, report substantial use
of complementary and alternative medicine.
CAM can be divided into four categories:
Spiritual or psychosocial therapies may include humor, hypnosis(a trance like state
that resembles sleep),faith healing, guided imagery and positive affirmations.
Nutritional therapies: It include vegetarian or macrobiotic diets; vitamin C OR Beta
carotene supplements; turmeric, which contains curcumin, a food spice supplement.
Drugs and biological therapies: It include medications and other substances not
approved by FDA. Example: N- acetylcysteine.
Treatment with physical forces and devices: It include acupuncture, acupressure,
massage therapy, reflexology, therapeutic touch, yoga and crystals.
22. NURSING DIAGNOSIS
• Diarrhea related to enteric pathogens or HIV infection.
•Risk for infection related to immunodeficiency.
•Ineffective airway clearance related to Pneumocystis pneumonia.
•Imbalanced nutrition less than body requirements related to
decreased oral intake.
•Deficient knowledge related to means of preventing HIV
transmission.
•Social isolation related to stigma of the disease.
