What are the different types of immunities?
IMMUNITY Condition of being immune or resistant to a certain disease.Acquired Immunity Immunity obtained either from the development of antibodies in response to exposure to an antigen, as from vaccination or an attack of an infectious disease, or from the transmission of antibodies, as from mother to fetus through the placenta or the injection of antiserum.1. Active Aquired Immunity Antibodies produced within the body resulted from the exposure to an agent.a. Natural -immunity developed after the infection to a certain pathogen.b. Artificial - received from a vaccine.Vaccine - artificially induced immunity. A person is deliberately exposed to a harmless pathogen, which will stimulate the person's immune system that may produce a memory to the cell. Living, inactive and toxin Tetanus toxoid - altered form of toxin, tetanospasmin.2. Passive Aquired ImmunityAntibodies that were produced by another person or more, or an animal.Lasts : 3-6 wksNatural Motheràfetus ColostrumArtificial Transferrinmg antibodies from an immune person to a susceptible person Immune Serum Globulin (ISG) - antibodied taken from the blood of many immune people. Hyperimmune Serum Globulin / Specific Immune Globulin - prepared from the serum of persons with high antibody levels against specific disease.

You had an HIV test 7 weeks after intercourse and came back negative is this test reliable?
Yes the test is reliable but, most HIV tests are antibody tests that measure the antibodies your body makes against HIV. It can take some time for the immune system to produce enough antibodies for the antibody test to detect, and this time period can vary from person to person. This time period is commonly referred to as the "window period." Most people will develop detectable antibodies within 2 to 8 weeks (the average is 25 days). Even so, there is a chance that some individuals will take longer to develop detectable antibodies. Therefore, if the initial negative HIV test was conducted within the first 3 months after possible exposure, repeat testing should be considered >3 months after the exposure occurred to account for the possibility of a false-negative result. Ninety-seven percent of persons will develop antibodies in the first 3 months following the time of their infection. In very rare cases, it can take up to 6 months to develop antibodies to HIV.

What happens to white blood cells when a persons vaccinated which kill micro-organisms?
The normal number of WBCs in the blood is 4,500-10,000 white blood cells per microliter (mcL).There are 3 functional classes of lymphocytes:1. T cells (cell-mediated immunity) attack foreign cells directly.2. B cells (humoral immunity) differentiate into plasma cells which synthesize antibodies.3. Natural killer (NK) cells detect and destroy abnormal tissue cells such as cancers.
