13 Things You Don't Know About HIV Virus!! by Joejonah(m): 12:07pm On Jul 27, 2014 |
1. one can be infected with HIV virus for over 10 years without any significant clinical manifestation. 2. not everyone infected with HIV virus are allowed to take HIV drugs, this is know as positive living. 3. HIV drugs are not sold in any pharmaceutical store, and are given for free in comprehensive health care hospitals. 4. there are over 23 types and sub-types of HIV virus, and one can be re-infected over and over again. 5. HIV drugs are life long therapy, every HIV patient that is in drugs take at least one (1) tablet daily. 6. HIV treatment do fail (drug resistance) , when this happen in both line of drugs available for HIV management, the person is offered "end of life counseling" i.e to keep his/her family in order and draw near to God so he/she could make eternity. 7. HIV virus is never written on the face. one can rarely know a HIV patient just by clinical examination and manifestation, as most of them are asymptomatic until they are in stage 4 ( AIDS defining stage), which can take up to 5-10 years. 8. infected mother can get married to a healthy negative man and they will give birth to healthy negative children and the man will still remain negative. (PMTCT). 9. 90% of people infected with HIV are treated of tuberculosis, which is a major opportunistic infection. 10. HIV virus can cause slight madness to infected individuals if not well taken care of. it's called neuropathy. 11. HIV is never a death sentence, one can go about his or her daily activities without any reasonable effect. 12. HIV drugs are taken with time, unlike other medicine. one have to continuously adhere to that time irrespective of the inconvenience it might cost you. 13. HIV care and treatment are free all over the country and some of the patient are paid monthly other are given grants, loans to encourage them. these where gather from my experience when I was working in HIV clinic. why not get yourself tested today and know your stand?? 1 Like |
