Depending on the symptoms, they can estimate an approximate date, but not exactly when.
AIDS can be acquired by 1 or more events. It can be acquired through sexual intercourse, sharing drug needles (with an HIV-infected person). It can also be acquired prenatally from an HIV-infected mom to her child, or through breast feeding.
A low diastolic reading in an otherwise healthy person is usually one of the first indicators a person has been infected with HIV/AIDS virus. A consultation with your doctor is called for.
After an anti body test you can tell if a person has been infected and has sero converted. after this the CD4 baseline is done the client id stagged according to the WHO guideline and placed on treatment or care.
AIDS patients who have not been infected may be given a drug called TMP/SMX (Bactrim or Septra) to prevent toxoplasmosis infection.
Not exactly. "HIV positive" means that someone's test for HIV antibodies came back positive, i.e. that the antibodies are present and that the person has at least been exposed to, and is almost certainly infected with, the virus. AIDS, however, is a syndrome, or condition. There isn't a specific test for it, so the terms "positive" and "negative" have no real meaning. AIDS means that not only is the person infected, but the infection has progressed to the point that they are showing symptoms. You can be "HIV positive" (the test showed antibodies) or "HIV negative" (the test did not show antibodies), but not "AIDS positive" or "AIDS negative". Everyone with AIDS is (or should be, since HIV is the virus that causes AIDS) "HIV positive", but it's possible to be "HIV positive" for a considerable length of time before eventually developing AIDS.
Infection with HIV is the STD that can lead to AIDS. There is no cure, but many effective treatments.
We do not understand your question, as AIDS is a physical condition unrelated to addiction.If you are asking how you know if you have been infected with the HIV virus that leads to AIDS, you can get a simple screening test at your local health department, from a private physician, or from HIV/AIDS support organizations in your area.
Yes. Everyone who is infected with HIV is a carrier and infectious. Most people who become infected with HIV will not initially know or notice that they have been infected, but some will suffer symptoms of a short seroconversion illness when they develop HIV antibodies (generally two to six weeks after HIV exposure). Seroconversion illness can be similar to (and can be easily mistaken for) flu, glandular fever, tonsillitis or a serious herpes attack, but is rarely severe enough to require hospitalisation or even result in an immediate HIV diagnosis. The speed at which an untreated person will go on to develop AIDS varies greatly, but most people will remain asymptomatic for several years (it is estimated that around half the people with HIV develop AIDS within 10 years of becoming infected).
this can happen if the woman has been infected with HIV/aids. it could also be the outcome of a serious yeast infection
AIDS is a stage of HIV infection. While there have been some cases of rapid development it is not usual for a person to develop AIDS within one year of acquiring HIV. It is important to remember that the date someone is diagnosed is not the same as when they were infected, someone can live for up to ten years without seeing any symptoms
nobody brought AIDS here.The virus has been here for years it is just that our scientist and doctors havent descovered it then or the methods they used then wont as advanced as these of today.
Being HIV-positive:Being HIV-positive simply means that you have tested positive for being infected with the virus known as HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), and can pass it on.Having AIDS:Having AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) means that you are HIV-positive AND that the progressive damage done to your immune system (usually over many years) has weakened it to a point at which you can no longer fight off a range of defined opportunistic infections (unless you receive treatment to support and restore some of your immune function).Although AIDS is (with time) an almost inevitable consequence of being infected with untreated HIV; most people who receive timely treatment for their HIV infection will never develop AIDS.The AIDS diagnosis is not generally reversible, so it does not necessarily indicate anything about your current state of health. Indeed, in many countries, the term AIDS is thought to be so meaningless and laden with stigma that it is no longer used.AIDS is not a single disease but a spectrum of diseases caused by having reduced immunity due to HIV.
