HIV is effective from the standpoint that there is no cure for the virus.
HIV is present in pre-ejaculate fluid. Pulling out is not an effective strategy for preventing HIV.
The reason the immune system is less effective in a person with HIV is because the virus attacks the immune system and makes it weaker.
Antibiotics are only effective against bacteria, not viruses, and HIV is a virus.
Chlorine bleach has been found effective in killing HIV outside of the body.
sad to say but there still is no cure for HIV/aids, only medications prescribed by a physician.
Infection with HIV is the STD that can lead to AIDS. There is no cure, but many effective treatments.
The only family planning methods that lower the risk of HIV are abstinence (100% effective) and condoms. Other birth control methods do not lower the risk of HIV.
Scientists and researchers have been searching for an effective HIV vaccine for many years. Because of HIV's ability to mutate so rapidly however, it has been difficult to develop an effective vaccine. Studies continue, but increasingly the opinion is that an effective vaccine is still many years away. But even when there is an effective HIV vaccine, it will not mean that there is a cure for HIV. A vaccine will help to keep uninfected people uninfected but will not directly benefit people who are already living with HIV/AIDS. The ongoing advances in HIV treatment are increasingly becoming what could be considered to be a "cure" for people living with HIV/AIDS. These medications, when taken as directed, can help diminish the impact that HIV has on the body and allow people living with HIV to live long and productive lives.
Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) is a treatment for HIV that combines several drugs to reduce the rate of virus replication. HAART can effective in protecting against complication of HIV like AIDS and cancer, but it is not a cure for HIV.
No. AZT is a medicine that when used in a combination with other HIV drugs can be be part of effective treatment.
They are not very effective in preventing HIV transmission. They are probably better than nothing, but lamb skin condoms have microscopic holes in them - the holes are small enough so that sperm cannot pass through, but STDs and HIV are still a risk.
Clorox wipes are designed to disinfect surfaces and can effectively kill many types of viruses and bacteria. However, they are not specifically tested or labeled for inactivation of HIV on surfaces. While HIV is not particularly resilient outside the human body, it's best to use appropriate disinfectants that are proven effective against HIV if you're concerned about potential exposure. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for effective disinfection.
