5 Important Facts about HIV / AIDS


The spread of HIV/AIDS increasingly worried about it. WHO launched the latest number of drug users to AIDS that continues to grow many-fold.

To be free from disease, you need to know interesting facts about HIV/AIDS. Among them:

1. HIV indiscriminately

Since the HIV epidemic began 20 years ago, the stereotypes that circulate in the community about people with HIV are gay men, drug users and commercial sex workers who get that label. In fact, everyone can be exposed to HIV, from old age, young, rich, poor, women, men, and children alike, and from various professions.

2. Oral sex was not as safe as thought

Oral sex is often considered as a way of "safe" sex. In fact, based on research, the infected body fluids such as semen and vaginal secretions containing high concentrations of the HIV virus can enter the bloodstream through the mucous membrane of the mouth.

3. Do not just worry about pregnancy

Many teens believe, the only risk of unprotected sex is pregnancy. Because it was in use birth control pills, oral sex and ejaculation outside to prevent pregnancy. In fact, many things to worry about than pregnancy that is the existence of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) like syphilis, herpes, including HIV that can be life threatening.

4. Sometimes people do not say we did not know the exact nature and reality

Think for a moment the sentence above. How many people who admit that they suffer from HIV/AIDS when asked by his new partner? How many people who acknowledge their sexual lives when they know someone new? How many people really know their HIV status and health status of people with them before? A statement "My partner does not have HIV" can only be accepted when accompanied by tangible evidence of a negative HIV test. Ask clearly their HIV status and ask them to do the tests as evidence.

5. There is no cure for the killer

Although people with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) to live longer thanks to antiretroviral drugs, these drugs do not cure. If any of these drugs protect against opportunistic infections is not a "shortcut" from HIV infection. These drugs even cause side effects such as diarrhea, excessive fatigue, redness, nausea and vomiting.
