Human Immunodeficiency Virus / HIV AIDS
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a virus that weakens the immune system by attacking CD4 cells, which are essential for immune defense. Over time, if untreated, HIV can progress to Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), where the immune system becomes too weak to fight off infections. While there’s no cure, antiviral medications can manage the virus and prevent the development of AIDS.
The newest HIV statistics globally, as reported by UNAIDS, indicate that as of 2023, approximately 39.9 million people worldwide were living with HIV, including 1.4 million children under the age of 15. Women and girls made up 53% of this population. Despite the global prevalence, efforts to curb the spread of HIV have seen some success, with a 39% decline in new infections since 2010. In 2023 alone, an estimated 1.3 million people contracted HIV, highlighting the ongoing need for widespread testing and treatment access, particularly in resource-limited regions.
Understanding the
Symptoms
High cholesterol is often asymptomatic, making it difficult to detect without a blood test. However, the long-term effects of untreated high cholesterol can lead to various serious health issues. Some of the health issues includes:
✅Many people with HIV don’t show symptoms for years, feeling healthy despite the infection.
✅In the first 2-4 weeks after infection, some may experience flu-like symptoms, such as fever, body aches, and fatigue, which are temporary.
✅After these early symptoms, there might be no signs of HIV for a long time.
✅As HIV weakens the immune system, more severe symptoms appear.
✅Frequent, hard-to-treat infections, like severe yeast infections or chronic pelvic pain.
✅Unexplained weight loss, persistent fatigue, and headaches.
✅Skin rashes, easy bruising, and unusual growths.
Awareness of HIV and AIDS symptoms enables early diagnosis and treatment, which are vital for maintaining health. Early medical intervention can prevent the virus from advancing and help individuals live longer, healthier lives.
