HIV
– Human IMMUNODEFICIENCY Virus
by Mehjabeen Poonawala
| Too
many know as the aids virus that lives in the blood and other
body fluids, within the blood or white blood cells of the
infected person. Large scale transmit of this virus occur
due to unprotected sexual intercourse, sharing of drug injections,
infected used in transfusion, and in some occasions through
pregnancy when the virus is passed from mother to child. It’s
important to understand that people don’t catch aids,
they become infected with HIV due to many one of the above
listed transmits.
Secondly we need to understand the positive results of HIV
that is when the body has been infected by the human immunodeficiency
virus. When blood tests are carried out doctors don’t
search for HIV but they come across it in our blood, HIV+,
HIV antibody positive or seropositive HIV add up to the simple
meaning of being infected with positive HIV results. The HIV
virus is not a disease it’s a progressive emanation
that damages your body immune system.

The
HIV virus is best know for targeting the T cells having chances
of attacking the cells of the brain, nervous system, digestive system
and lymphatic system. Hence the T cells can be referred to as the
brain operator of our system, and when these cells are infected
our body becomes weak and cannot battle bacteria, cancer, fungi
and other parasites, When T cells are infected with HIV it kills
the strength of a human progressive and recovery system.
Once HIV infects your T cells then it works like
a factory reproducing itself to grow the virus inside the body,
which eventually results in the virus moving into the bloodstream.
HIV can destroy all fresh T cells repeating its process of reproduction
in this manner. The immune system then gets absolutely weekend multiplying
this virus all over you, this can be termed as “opportunistic
infection”.
A person
with a HIV-weekend immune system comes down with one or more of
rare opportunistic infections, with low T cell counts it can be
diagnosed as an AIDS patient, ACQUIRED IMMUNE DEFICENCY SYNDROME.
AIDS can be thought of the most severe form of HIV disease, all
but a handful of medical experts now believe that HIV is the primary
agent that leads to the development of AIDS.
