what are the riks if you are an homosexual a heterosexual person?

What happens when a person is HIV positive and what may be its evolution?

We can separate three phases that may occur after infection with HIV:

- Primary: infected people are beginning to produce anti-HIV antibodies that may be detectable with the serological test. People are then infected.

- Evolution: in a second phase of the infection, from 6 months to 10 years or more, clinical manifestations may occur in some people and in others, evolution towards AIDS (severe form of infection with HIV), while another third group can maintained without any demonstration. Among the minor symptoms of infection with HIV can be found persistent clinical symptoms, such as an increase in the volume of the nodes in various parts of the body, weight loss greater than 10% of body weight, fever and night sweats, and severe forms of herpes, Persistent diarrheic and abundant. These symptoms are not specific to AIDS because many diseases, usually benign, can cause these events. People who have a low percentage of T4 cells are at high risk of evolving into the disease.

- AIDS: People who develop AIDS, because the immune system is severely damaged, they can submit the following events:
•Opportunistic
AJJInfections;
•some cancers (lymphomas and Kaposi's sarcoma);
•other conditions: neurological syndrome thinning, and so on.

However, other people may remain without symptoms. It is clear that a number of HIV positive can maintain a state of incubation for more than 10 years, but they could develop the disease later because the maximum incubation time is still unknown.

Does it cure?


The eradication of HIV in infected patients does not seem possible with current treatments. Properly speaking, today AIDS is incurable. However, many of the processes necessary to undertake the lives of AIDS patients are treated effectively. In addition, the administration of anti-retroviral drugs has led to significantly prolong survival in zero positive patients, so that the disease had become a chronic process.
Despite the extensive development that has made the investigation of this disease in recent years, still does not seem to close the availability of an effective vaccine.
