HIV Infection From Start To Finish

[Guest guest]

Article briefly describes the HIV process within the body from start to

finish........... 

" If you’re HIV positive you might not know if you get infected by HIV. Some

people get fever, headache, sore muscles and joints, stomach ache, swollen lymph

glands, or a skin rash for one or two weeks. Most people think it’s the flu.

Some people have no symptoms.  HIV is part of a family or group of viruses

called lentiviruses. Lentiviruses other than HIV have been found in a wide range

of nonhuman primates. These other lentiviruses are known collectively as simian

(monkey) viruses (SIV) where a subscript is used to denote their species of

origin.

The virus will multiply in your body for a few weeks or even months before your

immune system responds. During this time, you won’t test positive for HIV, but

you can infect other people.

When your immune system responds, it starts to make antibodies. When this

happens, you will test positive for HIV.  After the first flu-like symptoms,

some people with HIV stay healthy for ten years or longer. But during this time,

HIV is damaging your immune system.One way to measure the damage to your immune

system is to count your CD4+ cells. These cells, also called “T-helperâ€

cells, are an important part of the immune system. Healthy people have between

500 and 1,500 CD4+ cells in a milliliter of blood.

Without treatment, your CD4+ cell count will most likely go down. You might

start having signs of HIV disease like fevers, night sweats, diarrhea, or

swollen lymph nodes. If you have HIV disease, these problems will last more than

a few days, and probably continue for several weeks.

How does one know if they have AIDS?

HIV disease becomes AIDS when your immune system is seriously damaged. If you

have less than 200 CD4+ cells or if your CD4+ percentage is less than 14%, you

have AIDS. If you get an opportunistic infection, you have AIDS. There is an

“official†list of opportunistic infections, put out by the Centers for

Disease Control (CDC). The most common ones are:

* PCP ( Pneumocystis pneumonia), a lung infection,

* KS (Kaposi’s sarcoma), a skin cancer,

* CMV (Cytomegalovirus), an infection that usually affects the eyes, and

* Candida, a fungal infection that can cause thrush (a white film in your mouth)

or infections in your throat or vagina,

AIDS is different in every infected person. Some people die in a few months

after getting infected, while others live fairly normal lives for many years,

even after they “officially†have AIDS. A few HIV-positive people stay

healthy for many years even without taking anti-HIV medications.

AIDS-related diseases also include serious weight loss, brain tumors, and other

health problems. Without treatment, these opportunistic infections can kill

you. "

Any virus can actually cause these symptoms, everything on this article is not

scientifically proven.  HIV material like this is all based on assumption not

science.  The true scientists that have been trying to prove all this or see

how the HIV virus actually works have been unsuccessful to first isolate it, and

to actually see it survive long in the body to have it see do this.  This

article is flawed.  When HIV was first " isolated " but the idiot Gallo he

said he found HIV in less than half of AIDS patients, so even he didn't find the

HIV virus in ALL AIDS patients.
