How many T-cells should you have?
In a healthy adult, between 600 to 1200 cells per cubic millimeter of blood. In an HIV+ person, between 600 and 350is considered "very good". Between 350 and 200 - The immune system is weakened and therefore the HIV+ person may be at increased risk for infection and illness. Less that 200 - The immune system is severely weakened and the HIV+ person is at a much greater risk of opportunistic infections.
What does the AIDS virus attack?
HIV destroys a certain kind of blood cell which is crucial to the normal fucntion of the immune system.HIV: Skin EffectsSeveral of the main skin conditions that affect people with HIV are caused by viruses most people already have in their bodies. However, these viruses typically do not cause disease in people whose immune systems are healthy. Some of the more common dermatological, or skin, effects of HIV include: Varicella zoster virus (VZV) infection, Herpes simplex virus (HSV), Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS)HIV: Oral Health ProblemsHIV infection can also cause oral health problems that are rare in uninfected people, including: Candidiasis, Periodontal disease, Herpes simplex virusHIV: Neurological EffectsAlthough HIV does not appear to infect nerve cells, it does somehow affect their ability to function normally. People with HIV can experience:AIDS-related dementiaA decrease in the ability to think properly and process informationBrain tumors that either begin in the brain or spread to the brain from elsewhere in the bodyProgressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), which is caused by a virus most people are already infected with, but does not cause disease in people with healthy immune systems. Symptoms include difficulty walking and talking, weakness in the limbs, and seizures.HIV: Weight Effects and Wasting SyndromeA big concern for people who has HIV that has progressed to AIDS is AIDS wasting syndrome, which is defined as any unintentional weight loss of 10 percent or more of your body weight. HIV patients may lose muscle as well as fat, and once lost, the weight is difficult to regain. The person may also have diarrhea and a slight fever. These symptoms are usually accompanied by a complete loss of appetite.
What treatment for aids are currently available?
The symptoms of AIDS can be treated , thought not cured, through a variety of medications. Currently there are 5 classes of medications collectively called antiretrovirals, that help control the HIV virus and/or help build the immune system.
How do you detect the first sign of HIV?
The initial symptoms are the same as and indistinguishable from influenza and lasts about as long. The virus then hides from the immune system and in most cases no other symptoms will be seen for a latent period of 5 to 20 years, at which point the immune system begins to rapidly fail and a wide variety of opportunistic infections and cancers appear. During the latent period as there are no symptoms the only way to detect an infection with HIV is with lab tests to antibodies to the virus.
Can an HIV antibody test detect HIV after 7 days?
It would be highly unlikely that any commonly employed diagnostic HIV test could ever be used to detected infection just 2 days after exposure. The rapid HIV antibody test - which is the test commonly used for routine bedside diagnostic testing of HIV in adults - tests for HIV antibodies ... most people will develop detectable antibodies within two to six weeks of infection, although some seroconvert later (99% will have detectable antibodies within three months of HIV infection). The ELISA test (which is the most commonly used test to detect HIV infection in laboratories), is far more sensitive and can potentially detect possible HIV infections at a much earlier stage; but the problem with this test is that it can be difficult to determine a cut-off point between a definite positive and definite negative result, which sometimes results in problematic results that need further testing and follow-up samples.
If you become HIV infected will you necessarily get AIDS?
HIV treatment stops people progressing to AIDS. So the answer to this question is 'no', but you need to have access to treatment before your immune system becomes very damaged. Without treatment nearly everyone will see their CD4 count drop until they are at risk of of the infections that define the condition called AIDS. For some people can happen within a year of being infection, but for most people it takes 5-10 years. 25% people can still be healthy without treatment after 10 years.

What are the 5 benefits of fever for the body's immune response?
Fever helps the body's immune response by: Increasing the activity of white blood cells to fight off infections. Slowing down the growth of bacteria and viruses. Enhancing the production of antibodies to target pathogens. Stimulating the release of cytokines to regulate the immune response. Promoting the repair and regeneration of tissues damaged by infection.
Is a Negative HIV test at 5 weeks likely to change?
It is definitely possible, especially if the test was a rapid test (what is typically done) and not a more expensive and time consuming test such as one done by Western Blot or Chemiluminescence. The standard recommendation for confirmatory HIV testing is 9 weeks after suspected infection. Even if your 5 week test is negative, I would strongly encourage you to get tested between 9 and 12 weeks.
