HIV attacks the immune system, while AIDS is the late stage of HIV infection. There are two types of HIV viruses. HIV can be transmitted through unprotected sex, sharing needles, or from mother to child during pregnancy or breastfeeding. The early stage of HIV may cause flu-like symptoms, then a long clinical latency stage with few or no symptoms follows. Without treatment, late stage AIDS develops where the immune system is too weak to fight illness. It is important for people to get tested, practice safer sex, limit partners, and get vaccinated for preventable diseases to reduce HIV transmission risk. Informing loved ones about an HIV diagnosis allows for support, but it is a personal decision.
This document discusses sexually transmitted infections (STIs), HIV, and AIDS. It defines them as diseases that can be transmitted through unprotected sex. HIV attacks and weakens the immune system by destroying CD4 cells. If untreated, this leads to AIDS, where opportunistic infections take advantage of the weakened system. While there is no cure for HIV/AIDS, antiretroviral therapy can suppress the virus and prevent development of AIDS, allowing those infected to live long and healthy lives if they adhere to the daily medication regimen. The document emphasizes that not all those with HIV will develop AIDS, and one cannot acquire AIDS without first being infected by HIV.
HIV attacks and destroys cells of the immune system, specifically CD4+ T cells, weakening the body's ability to fight infections and disease. Over time, HIV can lead to AIDS if not treated. HIV is transmitted through contact with infected bodily fluids like blood, semen, vaginal fluids. Common symptoms of HIV infection include fever, sore throat, rash, fatigue, and swollen lymph nodes. While there is no cure for HIV, antiretroviral treatment can suppress the virus and prevent progression to AIDS, allowing those infected to live long and healthy lives.
HIV/AIDS damages the immune system over time and is caused by the HIV virus. It is spread through unprotected sex, contaminated blood transfusions, sharing needles, and from mother to child during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding. Symptoms of HIV/AIDS range from flu-like symptoms in early stages to infections and weight loss in later stages. HIV/AIDS affects society by impacting families, health systems, businesses, and education. Preventative measures include education, regular testing, monogamy, condom use, treatment during pregnancy/childbirth, avoiding breastfeeding or needle sharing.
This document provides a quick overview of HIV/AIDS, including descriptions of transmission, stages of infection, symptoms, testing and treatment. It is intended for community leaders and health workers without specialized training. Key points covered include that HIV attacks and destroys CD4 cells, leading to AIDS if untreated; it is transmitted through bodily fluids but not through casual contact; and while there is no cure, antiretroviral treatment can suppress the virus and prevent progression to AIDS. The document also provides information on testing locations and strategies for prevention.
HIV is a virus that attacks the immune system and can lead to AIDS if left untreated. AIDS is the late stage of HIV infection defined by a weakened immune system. While HIV used to be a death sentence, antiretroviral treatment now allows people to live long lives with the virus. HIV is transmitted through bodily fluids and testing is available, though many people initially show no symptoms. Successful treatment prevents progression to AIDS and also reduces transmission risk.
The document discusses HIV/AIDS in India. It summarizes that the Indian Health Minister acknowledged that India now has a more reliable estimate of the burden of HIV, but warned that the numbers affected are still very large. It then provides information on what HIV/AIDS is, how it is transmitted, symptoms, treatment options, and ways to prevent transmission.

This document discusses various common diseases including childhood diseases like measles, chickenpox, and mumps. It also mentions common infections like colds and flu. Influenza is described as a contagious disease that can range from mild to severe like pneumonia. Cancer is defined as uncontrolled cell growth that occurs in many different forms. AIDS results from HIV infection and has no cure or vaccine, spreading mainly through sexual contact or shared needles. Infectious diseases are prevented by nurses caring for patients while stopping infection spread.
The document defines AIDS as Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, caused by the HIV virus which weakens the immune system over time. It is transmitted through sexual contact, sharing needles, or from mother to child during birth. Having HIV is not the same as having AIDS, as HIV can be present for years without symptoms. AIDS is diagnosed when the immune system is seriously damaged, allowing opportunistic infections. While there is no cure for AIDS, treatment drugs can slow the virus and related damage to prolong life.
The document outlines the chain of HIV infection, including that HIV is transmitted through direct contact with infected blood or bodily fluids. It also discusses that while there is no cure for HIV, treatment with antiretroviral drugs can enable those infected to live long, healthy lives by suppressing the virus. Key aspects of treatment include starting post-exposure prophylaxis within 72 hours of potential exposure, monitoring viral levels before starting lifelong antiretroviral therapy, and maintaining low viral loads to prevent transmission. Prevention efforts focus on education and reducing risk behaviors.
This presentation provides information about HIV/AIDS for 10th grade students. It defines HIV and AIDS, explaining that HIV weakens the immune system while AIDS develops as the immune system becomes deficient. HIV is spread through unprotected sex, sharing needles, or from mother to child during birth. Testing checks for HIV antibodies and viral load monitoring is used for treatment. Symptoms range from early flu-like symptoms to later conditions resulting from immune deficiency. Prevention methods include abstinence, condoms, not sharing needles, and universal precautions. The effects of AIDS include stress, poverty if the infected cannot work, and increased orphan rates.

The document discusses syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection caused by bacteria. It describes the four stages of syphilis as primary, secondary, latent, and tertiary. The primary stage involves a painless sore while secondary sees skin rashes and sore throat. Latent syphilis has no symptoms but the bacteria remains active. Tertiary syphilis, occurring years later for 15-30% of untreated cases, can damage organs and cause life-threatening issues like blindness. Penicillin is usually effective at treating early stages of syphilis.
AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome and is diagnosed when a person's immune system is too weak to fight off infections. AIDS is caused by HIV, which attacks immune system cells over time. While there is no cure for AIDS, antiretroviral treatment can prolong the time between HIV infection and the onset of AIDS. Since 1981 over 25 million people have died from AIDS, with 1.8 million dying in 2009 alone.
1. HIV is a virus that causes AIDS by attacking lymphocytes and weakening the immune system. AIDS develops when immunity is destroyed, leaving the body vulnerable to infections.
2. HIV is transmitted through certain body fluids like blood, semen, vaginal fluids from an infected person. The most common ways of transmission are unprotected sex, sharing needles, infected blood transfusions, and from mother to child during pregnancy, childbirth or breastfeeding.
3. There is currently no cure for HIV/AIDS but improved medical treatments can manage the infection. Getting tested is the only way to know one's HIV status.
The document summarizes information about AIDS/HIV including:
- HIV attacks and destroys white blood cells, weakening the immune system and leading to AIDS. AIDS was first recognized in the US in 1981.
- HIV is transmitted through sexual contact, pregnancy, exposure to contaminated blood/needles, and needle sticks. Common symptoms include weight loss, fever, fatigue, swollen lymph nodes, and diarrhea.
- While AIDS progresses, opportunistic infections like pneumonia, brain infections, and cancers become more common. HIV testing involves antibody and viral load tests. Prevention focuses on abstinence, monogamy, condom use, not sharing needles, and early medical care during pregnancy.
This document discusses HIV and AIDS. It defines HIV as a virus and AIDS as a medical condition that can develop from HIV infection over time without treatment. It describes the causes and transmission of HIV, including through unprotected sex, blood transmission, and from mother to child during pregnancy or birth. The document outlines the symptoms of early HIV infection, asymptomatic HIV, and late-stage HIV/AIDS. It also discusses diagnosis of HIV through blood tests, treatments to slow the virus, and prevention methods.
The document provides information on common infectious diseases including rubella, influenza, tuberculosis, and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). It discusses the causes, symptoms, treatment, and prevention of each disease. For rubella, it notes that while infection usually causes mild symptoms, it can harm unborn children if the mother is infected during pregnancy. Influenza and tuberculosis can be spread through the air and have varying symptoms depending on whether the infection is active or latent. STDs are transmitted through sexual contact and often have no symptoms but can cause issues like sores, rashes or bleeding if symptoms do develop. Vaccination and treatment with antibiotics are recommended to prevent and treat several of these infectious diseases.
Lyme disease is caused by bacteria transmitted through tick bites. Early symptoms may include a rash or flu-like symptoms. Left untreated, later stages can involve joints, heart, or nervous system. Diagnosis involves symptoms, possible exposure, and optional blood tests. Treatment uses antibiotics. While most recover fully, 10-20% develop lingering symptoms termed Post-treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome. Prevention focuses on tick avoidance and repellent use.

There is currently no cure for AIDS, though research continues in hopes of finding a treatment or cure. AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome and is diagnosed when a person's immune system is too weak to fight off infections, often transmitted through unprotected sex, blood transfusions, or other means.
Lyme disease is a tick-borne illness caused by the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria transmitted through the bite of an infected blacklegged tick; the highest risk areas are the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Wisconsin and Minnesota. Symptoms may include a characteristic bullseye rash called erythema migrans along with fever, headache, and fatigue, and if left untreated it can spread to the joints, heart and nervous system.
HIV is a virus that causes AIDS by attacking immune system cells, weakening the body's defenses over time. People can contract HIV through unprotected sex or sharing needles with an infected person. While there is no cure for HIV/AIDS, antiretroviral drugs can suppress the virus and allow people to live longer, healthier lives. However, HIV cannot be transmitted through casual contact like hugging, swimming, insect bites, or daily activities like using the same bathrooms.
The document discusses HIV/AIDS, including how HIV infects and damages white blood cells called CD4 cells, eventually leading to AIDS. It describes the window period after infection when antibodies are not yet detectable, acute seroconversion illness, and the asymptomatic phase. It also discusses modes of HIV transmission, testing methods, prevention methods like post-exposure prophylaxis and medications during pregnancy, lifelong antiretroviral treatment for HIV-positive individuals, and the importance of counseling and support. Currently there is no cure for HIV, but prevention and treatment can prolong life and improve quality of life.
This document provides statistics and information about HIV/AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa. Some key points:
- 70% of the estimated 40 million people living with HIV/AIDS globally are in Sub-Saharan Africa.
- Sub-Saharan Africa is home to 90% of the world's HIV-infected children.
- Most children infected with HIV in Sub-Saharan Africa will not survive to their 5th birthday.
- 17 million Africans have died from AIDS since the epidemic began in the late 1970s.
HIV attacks and destroys CD4 cells of the immune system, weakening the body's ability to fight infections and diseases. Over many years without treatment, HIV can develop into AIDS. AIDS is the advanced stage of HIV infection where the immune system is severely damaged, leaving the body vulnerable to other life-threatening illnesses. HIV is transmitted through bodily fluids like semen, vaginal fluids, blood, and breastmilk, so activities like unprotected sex and sharing needles carry risk. While treatments can suppress HIV and prevent progression to AIDS, there is currently no cure.
HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a virus that attacks the immune system, the body's natural defense system. Without a strong immune system, the body has trouble fighting off disease. Both the virus and the infection it causes are called HIV.

HIV can be transmitted through bodily fluids and causes AIDS by attacking and destroying CD4 cells. This leaves the immune system vulnerable to infections and illnesses. While not all with HIV develop AIDS, earlier treatment leads to better outcomes. Stigma from HIV/AIDS causes social isolation, poverty, and mental health issues. Proper treatment with antiretroviral drugs can suppress the virus and prevent development of AIDS, but delayed treatment allows more harm to the immune system and higher transmission risk.
Aids (acquired immune deficiency syndrome)Samar Aziz
HIV damages cells in the immune system, weakening the ability to fight infections. AIDS is the name used to describe life-threatening infections that occur when the immune system is severely damaged by HIV. HIV is transmitted through sexual contact, blood, or from mother to child during pregnancy or breastfeeding. There is no cure for HIV/AIDS, but antiretroviral therapy can dramatically slow the progression of the disease.
HIV attacks and destroys the immune system, leaving the body vulnerable to infections and disease. If untreated, HIV leads to AIDS. The virus is transmitted through contact with infected bodily fluids like blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and breast milk. While there is no cure for HIV/AIDS, antiretroviral therapy can effectively suppress the virus and prevent progression to AIDS. Treatment involves lifelong antiretroviral drugs and psychosocial support to address the psychological impacts of living with a chronic illness.
This document provides information about HIV/AIDS, including its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. It discusses how HIV weakens the immune system and can lead to AIDS if untreated. The document outlines how HIV is transmitted, the stages of HIV infection from early to late stage AIDS, and how HIV is diagnosed through blood tests. It discusses the current treatments for HIV like antiretroviral drugs and pre-exposure prophylaxis, as well as recent developments in treatments and efforts towards developing a vaccine.
This document discusses HIV and AIDS. It defines HIV as a virus and AIDS as a medical condition that can develop from HIV infection over time without treatment. It describes the causes and transmission of HIV, including through unprotected sex, blood transmission, and from mother to child during pregnancy or birth. The document outlines the symptoms of early HIV infection, asymptomatic HIV, and late-stage HIV/AIDS. It also discusses diagnosis of HIV through blood tests, treatments to slow the virus, and prevention methods.
HIV/AIDS is caused by the HIV virus which attacks the immune system. It is transmitted through bodily fluids and can be diagnosed through blood tests. Early symptoms include fever, weight loss, and fatigue. While there is no cure for AIDS, treatment with antiretroviral drugs can control the virus and prevent symptoms. India has a growing problem with HIV/AIDS, with over 1.7 lakh people estimated to be living with HIV in Uttar Pradesh alone.
This document discusses unsafe sex practices and HIV/AIDS. It defines unsafe sex and lists reasons for high-risk behavior, including lack of education and access to healthcare. The document describes what HIV is and how it progresses to AIDS if left untreated. Early HIV symptoms, transmission facts, testing methods, the window period, and AIDS symptoms are outlined in detail. Treatment options like antiretroviral therapy can manage HIV and prevent AIDS progression.
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that attacks the body’s immune system, making a person more vulnerable to other infections and diseases.
If HIV is not treated, it can lead to AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome).
There is currently no effective cure. Once people get HIV, they have it for life.
But with proper medical care, HIV can be controlled. People with HIV who get effective HIV treatment can live long, healthy lives and protect their partners.
This PowerPoint presentation covers HIV/AIDS, including how it is spread, the incubation period, signs and symptoms, and preventions. HIV attacks the immune system by destroying T-cells, disabling the body's ability to fight diseases and tumors over time. It is spread through direct contact with infected bodily fluids like blood, semen, vaginal fluid, and breast milk. While there is no cure for HIV/AIDS, antiretroviral treatment can suppress the virus and prevent transmission so people can live long and healthy lives.
HIV weakens the immune system by attacking CD4 cells, which are important for fighting infection. Over time, this damage allows opportunistic infections associated with AIDS to affect the body. HIV is transmitted through unprotected sex, contaminated blood, and from mother to child. While there is no cure for HIV/AIDS, antiretroviral treatment can slow its progression and improve quality of life. Prevention focuses on protected sex, safe medical practices, and treating other infections promptly.
Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a chronic, potentially life-threatening condition caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). HIV damages the immune system, making the body vulnerable to infection. While there is no cure for HIV/AIDS, antiretroviral treatment can control the virus and prevent transmission. The document then provides details on the stages and symptoms of HIV/AIDS, how it is transmitted, prevention methods like PrEP and PEP, and the structure and life cycle of the HIV virus.
HIV attacks and destroys CD4 cells, weakening the immune system and making one susceptible to infections and illnesses over time. If left untreated, HIV develops into AIDS, which is the final stage where the CD4 count is very low and one's ability to fight infection is lost. While there is no cure for HIV/AIDS, antiretroviral therapy can control the virus and help those infected live longer if medications are taken as prescribed.
This is a presentation on HIV more commonly known as AIDS. There are lot of HIV possitive patients in this world, and we need to treat them with sympathy and care. Let's not hate them.
Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a chronic condition caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) that damages the immune system. HIV can be transmitted through contact with infected bodily fluids like blood, semen, or vaginal fluids. Over time, HIV destroys white blood cells called CD4 T cells that fight disease, weakening the immune system and leading to AIDS. Common symptoms of AIDS include weight loss, fever, fatigue, and recurrent infections. There is currently no cure for HIV/AIDS, but treatment can control the virus and prevent transmission.
This document provides an overview of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). It describes how HIV attacks and destroys CD4 cells, weakening the immune system and increasing the risk of opportunistic infections. Over time, this can lead to AIDS. The document outlines how HIV is transmitted, common signs and symptoms, testing methods, associated infections like tuberculosis and cancers, how HIV affects the immune system, current treatment options involving antiretroviral therapy, prevention methods, and global statistics on those living with HIV/AIDS.
The document discusses HIV/AIDS, including:
- HIV attacks helper T cells in the body, weakening the immune system and potentially causing AIDS. AIDS occurs when the immune system is severely damaged by HIV.
- Common symptoms of HIV/AIDS include fever, weight loss, fatigue, and infections that typically do not affect people with healthy immune systems.
- HIV is transmitted through bodily fluids and can be prevented by practices like condom use and needle exchange. There is no cure for HIV/AIDS, but treatment can suppress the virus and prevent transmission.

Basavarajeeyam is an important text for ayurvedic physician belonging to andhra pradehs. It is a popular compendium in various parts of our country as well as in andhra pradesh. The content of the text was presented in sanskrit and telugu language (Bilingual). One of the most famous book in ayurvedic pharmaceutics and therapeutics. This book contains 25 chapters called as prakaranas. Many rasaoushadis were explained, pioneer of dhatu druti, nadi pareeksha, mutra pareeksha etc. Belongs to the period of 15-16 century. New diseases like upadamsha, phiranga rogas are explained.
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Muktapishti is a traditional Ayurvedic preparation made from Shoditha Mukta (Purified Pearl), is believed to help regulate thyroid function and reduce symptoms of hyperthyroidism due to its cooling and balancing properties. Clinical evidence on its efficacy remains limited, necessitating further research to validate its therapeutic benefits.
8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
Rasamanikya is a excellent preparation in the field of Rasashastra, it is used in various Kushtha Roga, Shwasa, Vicharchika, Bhagandara, Vatarakta, and Phiranga Roga.

4. What is HIV ?
Human Immunodeficiency Virus
Attacks the immune system
Destroys the body’s defenses diseases
Body become vulnerable to infection and cancers that
don’t normally develop in healthy people
5. The last stage of HIV infection is ’AIDS’
When HIV is diagnosed before it becomes AIDS,
medicines can slow or stop the damage to the immune
system.
6. what is AIDS?
AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.
A= not inherited
I = immune system
S= syndrome, a group of symptoms
or illness that occur as a
result of HIV infection,
7. Causing Agent:
sexual contact.
Blood or blood products can transmit the virus ( i.e.
sharing of contaminated syringes and needles.)
during pregnancy from
mother to fetus
8. Cont…
You cannot get AIDS/HIV from touching someone or
sharing items
HIV is not spread through routine contact
sharing a razor does pose a small
risk in that blood from a minor
nick can be transmitted from one
person to another.
9. Symptoms:
HIV may not cause symptoms early on. People who do
have symptoms may mistake them for the flu.
10. Early symptoms:
Fever.
Sore throat
Headache
Muscle aches and joint pain
Swollen glands
Skin rash
The early symptoms usually go away within 2 to 3 weeks.
13. Cont…
Medical experts recommend that people begin treatment
for HIV as soon as they know that they are infected.
To monitor the HIV infection and its effect on your
immune system, a doctor will regularly do two tests:
VIRAL LOAD CD4 CELL
COUNT
14. Viral load:
which shows the amount of virus in your blood.
CD4+ cell count:
which shows how well your immune system is working
15. Preventions: -
Don't drink a lot of alcohol or use illegal drugs.
Don't share personal items, such as toothbrushes or
razors.
Never share needles or
syringes with anyone.
