Do not be a statistic of mortality. Get at regular intervals (eg testing, annual inspection, Pap smears, pregnancy, etc..)? If you are HIV, followed by your doctor every three months. Take your art every day, on time and without even one dose. With more universal testing and treatment, which we minimize to the incidence of this disease and to manage several decades, rather than hope the survival of AIDS runs too often, once the HIV has progressed.
Rapid tests for HIV are extremely vulnerable should be ready before the test, a test confirmed with Western blot or IFA test should be examined. Rapid tests have been carried out with blood samples, and some require only an oral swab. Tests are used to obtain an employee patient's written consent, but now the doctors can say, "You will be tested for HIV, if you withdraw from the study and sign a declaration that you refuse the test."
Currently, CDC is trying to expand significantly the scope of HIV testing. It is recommended that the rapid HIV tests to all the old 15-64 years done is an annual medical examination or any other disease, acute HIV may be similar. It is also recommended that both the oldest of the pregnancy with a repeat at the end of pregnancy. The reason is that there are 1.1 million people in the United States who have HIV, and one in five are nothing of their infection. If they do not know, they are usually in the later stages of the disease. Performing more tests to be hoped that the spread and severity of the disease can be reduced was.
In 1986 I had the privilege of participating in some of the early research on HIV. It was a bit idealistic, in which 100% of the members of all armed forces have been tested for HIV. Those that provide a broad educational and research hospital were referred to establish positive large individual databases. If the underlying disease such as syphilis and other sexually transmitted diseases or AIDS-defining diseases such as Pneumocystis pneumonia have been identified, the treatment was initiated. The big difference between yesterday and today, is that we had nothing directly to the human immunodeficiency virus itself. If an AIDS-defining illness was presented, it was usually over months until the person is deceased, or even earlier. The situation was very helpless and frustrating for a doctor.
Things have now changed. Instead of HIV being the mark of death, it was like a chronic disease that can be managed for decades, redefined. The introduction of antiretroviral therapy (ART) drugs have contributed to HIV disease in check and prevent the occurrence of AIDS.
HIV affects certain white blood cells called CD4 cells and kills them. Therefore, immunity to disease is reduced so dramatically. If the CD4 cell count falls below a certain level is measurable expected to start time to antiretroviral therapy (ART). The absolute number of actual virus particles can now be measured, and this number may also begin to ART.
Also in early diagnosis and treatment is the key to survival. If you are a patient and the doctor said: "We will check for HIV, if you refuse, can not be offended or get hurt feelings. It's like searching the airport, no one said you had a bomb is just what is done to ensure the safety of all, to protect yours, too. The doctor is making only his work. When you turn positive, the doctor was probably just saved his life. There will be many consequences, such as "Where did I say that?" And the psychological and the refusal to have a chronic disease, but they can all be handled on an individual basis.
There are a substantial number of antiretroviral drugs currently unavailable. skillful use of them is whether the virus is tough and side effects of medication can be provided. In general three drugs are given to prevent a "cocktail" of viral resistance. The patient will be seen every three months for CD4 and viral load, whether the cocktail function, or whether new drugs should be used.
