he new illness of this century is AIDS; it’s a disease that doesn’t have cure. We offer you the Cat’s Claw to strengthen the immunologic system, to avoid entering the infectious diseases in the patient’s body. We offer you a preliminary treatment of 6 months with Cat’s Claw, the little red one. Also we give you some suggestions in food for patients with AIDS.

AIDS is an infectious disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) that weakens the system of defenses of the human body, leaving this way the person exposed to infectious and to some types of cancer. It’s a modern disease that appeared in 1981. It produces an infection generating a chronic and extended damage to immunologic system (system of defense) of the organism of human being, destroying the white corpuscles named lymphocytes, which constitute fundamental part of this system, interfering in the capacity of the body to fight quite against the virus, bacteria and fungus. The infection for HIV does that the person would be more susceptible to infectious that normally the human body can resist like pneumonia, meningitis and some type of cancer. It’s one of the most devastating, modern diseases; for the year 1995, 18 millions of adults and 2 millions of children had been infected.

The hiv and immunologic system
The Immunologic system takes place to fight against the diseases mainly through the control of the lymphocyte T cooperator. When the antigen enters in the body it’s recognized by a cell presenter of antigen (for example, the macrophage). This “eats” the agent and processes to show important parts (antigens) to the lymphocyte T CD4. When this “see”, the antigen activates and produces a voice of alert (a series of chemical signs), which activate the cell that has to act. This orchestra director, general manager of the army decides what you have to do and who have to do.
When the HIV enters the system, looks for the lymphocyte CD4, which is to whom it wants to attack. The enemy is intelligent and attacks the one that takes the decisions leaving helpless the system that can’t act without instructions. When it finds the lymphocyte T cooperator, it can destroy it or stay inside of it. When it stays in it, besides it changes the genetic code of the cell, it can fall asleep, quiet, or to conquest the nucleus, which is its center of control, and to do it to produce more HIV to be able to export. When it already has produced what it needs, destroy the lymphocyte and let out the copies, which are going to conquest other lymphocytes. When a lymphocyte CD4 is invaded, stop working for that the disease produces when the track is broken.
How does it translate the microbiologic effect into the person’s life? What is happening to the patient, what it feels? When the immunologic system has weakened enough, the individual will stay without a part of your system of defense, the track that is governed by the lymphocyte CD4. In this moment, the patients stay at the mercy of opportunist infections, which are infections that rarely occur in immunocompetent people (who have good immunologic system). Some examples of these infections are tuberculosis, pneumonia for pneumocystis carinii, oral or esophageal candidiasis between others.

The form in which HIV attacks the Immunologic System can sum up of the following way:

The virus enters in blood flow.
The virus adheres to the lymphocyte.
The wall of the virus opens and leaves bare the viral RNA.
The viral RNA transcribes in DNA, it introduces in the nucleus of lymphocyte and goes to be part of the genetic code of the cell.
Then the virus can evolve of two forms: One where the virus falls asleep or latent, and the second when the virus becomes active. When the virus stays asleep, the infected cell T4 continues living normally. The infection persists without the person feels symptoms. The infected cells T4 of this person can transmit (by the blood or sexual secretions) to other people and infect them. The AIDS virus infects also chronically to other white corpuscles, the macrophages, but it doesn’t kill them. The macrophage converts in a sort of “Troy horse” that carries the invader until any place of the human body.
When the virus becomes active and reproduces in the cell until this blows up and releases a great number of viruses that will infect the other lymphocytes T4.
When an important quantity of cells T4 of the organism has been destroyed as consequence of the infection by the virus, the immunity defenses of the organism are weakened. The risk of appearance of AIDS symptoms is very high.

The main cause for that HIV can transmit from person to person always is through a fluid that contains the virus and a track for where it enters into the body of the other person. The fluids that can contain the virus are the blood, semen, vaginal fluids, maternal milk, saliva, sweat, urine and tears. For there is the entrance of the virus HIV AIDS there must be entrances such as: skin breakages (voluntary or involuntary) or through semipermeable membranes like they are of the vagina, anus and mouth. While more aggression exists against the mucous, major are the possibilities of contagion. The virus HIV is very fragile, survives very badly and a little time outside the person body. The HIV is very sensitive to heat, because it doesn’t survive for over the 60ºC. For this reason, to infect the organism, the virus must penetrate in its interior and enter in contact with the blood of the exposed individual. The main forms of transmission are by sexual contact, transmission during the pregnancy, by blood contact, etc.

For Sexual Contact:

People who have major risk to get infected are those who don’t practice safe sex, who aren’t monogamous, who have anal sexual relationships and relationships with couples infected with HIV. In the developed countries, most of contagions are through sexual relationships with homosexuals; on the other hand, in Africa is between heterosexuals. The sexual relationships with anal or vaginal penetration, as much they are heterosexuals as homosexuals, can transmit the virus of HIV. The natural fragility of genital mucoses does that these contain, often, microinjuries or microinflammations. The contamination will do through the microscopic injuries that produce during the penetration because they allow the contact of the virus present in the semen or the vaginal secretions, with the blood flow. The vaginal relationship can transmit the virus HIV of the man to the woman, and the woman to the man. All genital infection, above all the ulcerative infections, in a member of the couple, increases much more the risk of infection of transmission of the virus. The anal infections are the most infectious because they are the most traumatizing. This makes that the anal relationship would be that of major risk. The oral-genital contacts can transmit the HIV if there are injuries in the mouth or the genitals. The oral relationship puts at risk the person who puts the mouth in the genitals of the person who has the HIV. The risk of infection increases with the number of sexual relationships, but only one relationship is enough to a person acquires the HIV. All sexual practices that favor the injuries and irritations entail an increase of the risk of transmission.

For blood transfusion:

The contagion for blood transfusion and some derivates of blood could be a way of contagions of HIV; however, this possibility is exceptional today due to the obligatory of the test of detection of antibodies anti-HIV in all the blood samples. However, the risk even minimum can’t discard totally since a donator recently infected can give a negative result.
It’s necessary also to take other measurements like: Don’t administer transfusions, if they are not absolutely indispensable or try to replace the plasma with other products. The contaminated syringes and needles if they are shared can transmit the HIV. This happens between consumers of injectable substances who punch with the same needle or syringe. The HIV transmits through the little quantity of blood that keeps in the syringe or in the needle after being used. The risk of the infection is not in the consumption of a particular drug but in the practice of sharing contaminated needles and syringes. The health workers who have suffered an accidental exposition when they punch with contaminated needles with blood or with fluids of the body of infected people, it’s estimated that the risk of infection of these workers is between 0 and 0.76%; however, these accidents must report immediately for that a medical evaluation carries out and according to an established protocol decide if it requires or not preventive treatment with antiretrovirals. The instruments that serve to perforate the skin such as the needles or acupuncture, tattooing, perforation of ears must be disinfected each time they use, the same with the instruments of corporal cares such as the scissors of the hairdresser or the equipment of manicure.

Transmission during the pregnancy:

The mothers who have high risk of infection with HIV AIDS are married women with bisexual men or with hemophilia, men who use drugs for intravenous via, and for women who live in zones with high rates of infection of HIV AIDS. When the infection transmits the HIV can cross the placental barrier. The placental barrier is a barrier formed by chemical action to protect the fetus against the diseases, or can contaminate during the labor. Therefore, the fetus also can catch the HIV. A seropositive woman has from a 20 to 50% of possibilities to have an infected child. After the birth, the breast-feeding is a powerful source of contamination. For the time we recommend the seropositive mothers not to breast-feed their children. The diagnosis of the baby does, in the majority of the cases, before the first day of life.

Behavior of high risk of infection:

The following behaviors have the highest risk of infection for HIV and possible development of AIDS; therefore, it’s extremely advisable to do the HIV test:

Homosexual men sexually active.
Bisexual men and their couples.
Users of intravenous drugs and their sexual couples.
People who share needles (for use of drugs intravenous via, tatooings or earrings)
Heterosexuals with more than a sexual couple.
People, who receive blood transfusions or products derivates of blood, especially people who receive transfusions of emergency with blood without verifying and people who receive transfusions in countries where the blood doesn’t verify scrupulously.
Immigrants of areas with numerous cases of AIDS (such as Haiti and East of Central Africa)
People who have sexual relationships with anybody of the groups mentioned previously.
People who have sexual relationships with someone who have infection by HIV.
Newborn babies of mothers who are infected by HIV.
Avoid the exposition to blood of injuries, nasal hemorrhages, etc.

As far as possible, avoid the exposition to blood of injuries, nasal hemorrhages, etc., when you don’t know the condition HIV of the individual with the hemorrhage. Use clothes of protection, masks and glasses of security when you help injured people.

An infected person by HIV AIDS has many periods of infection before die. It’s necessary a time for that the virus develops and produces the weakening of the immunologic system characteristic of the disease. This time has divided in three periods with academic purposes and the work in prevention. The duration of the periods depends on each organism and the cares the person have, among others. The times are variable. In all periods the person can infect the other people.

Acute Retroviral Syndrome:

The acute retroviral syndrome is a term that describes a group of symptoms that looks like the mononucleosis (an apparently benign disease and little defined that includes fever and appearance of palpable nodes en many regions of the body). A 50 – 65% of the acute infections by HIV presents as acute pictures of infectious mononucleosis. It occurs in the first weeks after the infection and characterizes by a high viral load (the count of the virus in blood) and a decrease of the count of lymphocytes CD4 (body cells, members of the system of defense: the immune system).
Other forms of manifestation can be the self-immune thrombocytopenic purple and the aseptic meningoencephalitis (meningitis in which it’s not found the germ that causes in the tests). Subsequently, the viral load decreases, the CD4 increases and an immune answer of the body against HIV develops (known as seroconversion), forming the antibodies against HIV.

Asymptomatic or latency period:

Once the HIV has penetrated in the nodes of the patient during the phase of the acute retroviral syndrome, the disease can stay latent for 10 years or more, before present the advanced symptoms of the disease. Clinically, the patients pass for a period in which there aren’t symptoms. The duration of the progression of HIV, so the period between the primary infection and the appearance of AIDS, is variable. In a classic study, done in homosexual men, this period was of 9.8 years. However, some individuals can progress quickly to AIDS (in less than 5 years) and others, called slow progressors can stay asymptomatic and without problems in the self-immune for many years, without receiving treatment.

Pre-AIDS Period:

After the asymptomatic period, occurs a progressive increase of the viral load as well as the CD4 decrease. The infected individual can present chronic diarrhea, generalized lymphadenopathy (appearance of palpable nodes for the entire body), fever without known cause, weight loss, as well as oral candidiasis (fungus in form of white cottons in the palate). To this period of early symptoms of 1 month of evolution is called period pre-AIDS.

AIDS Period:

It’s the final or terminal phase of AIDS, marked by an important diminution of the number of CD4 lymphocytes (less than 200 cells/mm3), and followed by an increase of the frequency of the number of opportunist infections and cancer. The opportunist infections are those that appear in the body of the patient, taking advantage of the weaknesses of the system of defense or the immunologic system. The probability of that a positive HIV individual develops opportunist infections is influenced by many factors. The count of CD4 seems to be the most useful measurement to calculate the cellular immunocompetence of the host and plays a very important role in the infection by HIV. The period of survival after the appearance of AIDS is from 12 to 18 months.
In this stage increases the risk of the opportunist infections, which enter in the patients with HIV through infectious microorganisms like fungus that can generate candidiasis or meningitis; for protozoa generating pneumonia; for microbacteria that generate tuberculosis; for bacteria that generate injuries in the skin and the digestive tract; and for virus generating cytomegalovirus, herpes simple, varicella zoster and virus of Epstein barr.

The detection of AIDS causes in patients a series of symptoms, emotional disorders, nerves, irritation, anguish, depression, excessive worry for the symptoms, etc. Others have thoughts of death, maniac-depressive processes, social shyness, depression, suicidal ideas, etc. The symptoms in general don’t appear by some years. Others can experience some symptoms in a lapse of 6 to 8 weeks after having been infected. During this acute infection by HIV, the virus reproduces quickly and the immunologic system of the body is mounting a defense. The virus can easily transmit to other people during this period.
The initial symptoms can include:

Fever.

Extreme and inexplicable fatigue.

Inflammation of the lymphatic nodes in the armpits, neck or groin.

Headache.

Dry cough.

Night perspirations.

Rash.

After these initial symptoms disappear, there shouldn’t be symptoms for months or years, depending on your health state and your choices in your life style. They can pass until 10 years before a person develops the HIV symptoms. Many people have had the virus for periods even greater without developing the symptoms. Although there aren’t symptoms, the virus is multiplying and damaging the immunologic system and can be infecting to someone else.
Once the virus weakens the enough the immune system, can occur the following symptoms in the course of 1 to 3 years:

Inflammation of lymphatic glands for the entire body.

Fatigue.

Infections by fungus in the mouth, fingernails and toenails.

Repeated vaginal infections (Candida and trichomonas).

Development of many warts.

Exacerbation of previous sufferings like eczema, psoriasis, infections for herpes.

Herpes.

Fever.

Night perspirations.

Weight loss.

Chronic diarrhea.

Memory loss.

Once the HIV has progressed to AIDS, the immune system has become pretty weak and is prone to opportunist infections – infections that people with a normal immune system generally don’t suffer it. These infections occur in people with AIDS because the immune system is not able to fight them.
The examples of opportunist infections and other complications of AIDS include:

Aphtas (an excessive growth of Candida)

Pneumonia (particularly pneumonia by Pneumocystis carinii)

Invasive infections by fungus (which result in cerebral and/or pulmonary infections).

Infection of toxoplasmosis.

Tuberculosis.

Cerebral viral infection.

Kaposi’s sarcoma.

Lymphoma.

Cervical cancer.

Eye disease due to cytomegalovirus infection.

Intestinal infections, especially due to Shigella, Salmonella and Campylobacter.

Serious weight loss (syndrome of waste).

Serious rashes in the skin.

Reactions to medicaments.

Psychiatric problems, including depression and dementia.

The symptoms of these affections (opportunist infections and other complications of AIDS) include:

Lack of breath.

To cough with spittle dyed of blood.

Problems to swallow.

Confusions and oblivions.

Serious diarrhea.

Nausea and vomiting.

Loss of vision.

Serious headaches.

Coma, but only in serious cases of cerebral viral infections or terminal cases.

Turning red, coffee or purple points in the mouth or skin.

Some people present symptoms soon after being infected. In average, it lasts more than ten years to present symptoms.
There are many phases in the disease by HIV. Frequently, the first symptom of the disease by HIV is the inflammation of the lymphatic nodes of the throat, armpit or groin.
Other early symptoms of the disease are: Moderate fever, headache, fatigue and muscular pains. Sometime they last only some weeks.

Posterior symptoms of the disease

A dense and whitish layer in the tongue or in the mouth (buccopharyngeal candidiasis) caused by an infection for yeasts that sometimes appear together with pain of the throat.

Serious vaginal or recurrent infections by yeasts.

Chronic or serious pelvis inflammatory disease and frequent infections like herpes zoster.

Periods of intense fatigue and without apparent cause, sometimes also with headache and sicknesses.

Quick weight loss for more than 10 pounds that it’s not due to an increase of physical activity or diets.

Major easiness to hurt yourself.

Long periods of diarrhea.

Recurrent fevers and/or night sweat.

Swelling or hardening of the glands of the throat, armpit or groin.

Extended periods of dry or intense cough.

Difficulties each time bigger to breathe.

Appearance of faded or shaded of violet formations in the skin or inside the mouth.

Bleeding without apparent cause of formations in the skin, the mucous membranes or any hole of the body.

Recurrent or unusual rushes of the skin.

Intense sleepiness or pain of hands or feet, muscular control or reflexes loss, paralysis or loss of muscular strength.

Mental alterations, changes of personality or deterioration of mental faculties.

To diagnose the AIDS methods of laboratory use to determine if there are antibodies to the HIV. First the called ELISA realizes: If this results positive you should do a confirmatory called Western Blot. Internationally it’s proven that there is a diagnosis of HIV when there are two successive tests of ELISA with positive result or when a test of Western Blot shows two or more positive bands as a confirmation. The immunoblot is sophistication of the Western Blot. The tests of detection must do in a voluntary and anonymous way and the results of the same must be handled with absolute discretion. Hereunder, we give you major detail about each test of detection:

Test of Elisa “Enzyme Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay”

It’s the test that is done the majority of possible patients of AIDS. Its acronyms in English mean Enzyme Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay: Immunologic Study of laboratory through reactives to detect different germs, such as virus or protozoares, by means of the detection of specific antibodies against them or some of their antigens. It consists in showing by a colored reaction, the presence of molecules that only join to the purified proteins of the HIV combining the purified antigens. In case of resulting positive you have to make a confirmatory called Western Blot. There can be false positive or false negative results. The test of ELISA is used also for the detection of other diseases. Its adaptation for the detection of antibodies HIV-2 was improved y commercialized from 1986. The test of ELISA doesn’t establish a diagnosis of AIDS or it’s a prediction of the advance of the disease. This disease is used not only to detect the presence of HIV in people, but to analyze the blood packs and its derivates that handle in the blood banks.

Western Blot Test:

It’s the confirmatory test of the presence in the blood of antibodies to the HIV. It’s used after a test of ELISA has given a positive result. It’s more reliable than ELISA, because it detects from 8 to 10 antibodies of HIV against one that detects the test of ELISA, but it’s more difficult and expensive.

Cellular Count of CD4 + T:

This blood test uses to evaluate the state of immune system.

Exam of viral load:

This is a test that measures the quantity of HIV in your blood.

Other Blood Tests:

If you are infected with HIV, additional exams can prescribe to you to check the presence of other infections related with blood.

For these modern diseases Peruvian use to improve the defenses of the human body, or to improve our immunologic system our product star, Cat’s Claw, the little red one (Uncaria Tomentosa). Cat’s Claw is a good natural medicine to raise the weak defenses of the patients of HIV, because it attacks the viruses, like flu, herpes and AIDS. Cat’s Claw for its immunostimulant and antiviral properties serves to delay the advance of the AIDS virus. Kepkinger in 1993 improved the state of 5 patients of 7 (El Comercio, Peru, Laboratory IMMODAL AUSTRIA). This same physician also did joint studies of Cat’s Claw and AZT to control AIDS, with very good results, inhibiting the appearance of infectious diseases.
Between the properties of Cat’s Claw are immunostimulant, its alkaloids isomitraphyline and pteropodine, serves to increase the phagocytic activity of granulocytes, neutrophils or macrophages; also it stimulates the production of lymphokines. In a week of treatment increases the number of monocytes in active phases in the peripheral circulation, until in a 50%. It’s also antiviral. In conclusion, the Cat’s Claw doesn’t cure AIDS, but relieves because it strengthens the immunologic system.
For all the patients with AIDS we offer you a treatment that will serve you to reinforce your immunologic system and to inhibit the appearance of infectious diseases. We suggest you an initial treatment of 6 months, so you can take daily your cook of cat’s claw, etc.
As part of the diet it’s good to eat fungus shiitake, mackerel (coenzyme Q10), raw garlic, grains, legumes, fruits, take 48 ounces of water daily. Avoid the alcohol, coffee and sugar. It’s good to accompany this treatment with a lot of vitamin C, but only natural oranges, tangerines, camu-camu, etc., because it’s very difficult to concentrate the vitamin C, in drinks.

It is an infectious disease. AIDS affects humans infected with HIV, when their body due to immune depression caused by HIV, is not capable of providing an adequate immune response against infection. Here are the possible treatments for AIDS.

Cat's claw: It strengthens your immune system and prevent infectious diseases from entering the patient's body, therefore we offer a preliminary treatment for 6 months with a cat.
Green Tea: Taking green tea infusion.
Hinojo: Take infusion of fennel seeds, 5 grams of dried seed per cup of water, drinking 2 cups a day.
Maitake mushroom: Maitake mushroom eating.
Oregano: Take infusion of oregano, one teaspoon per cup of water, then take three cups a day.
Romero: Take infusion of rosemary, one teaspoon per cup of water, take two or three cups a day.

Nowadays there are guides for the treatment with antiretroviral medicaments in people with HIV. The purpose of the antiretroviral medicaments is to reduce the quantity of virus in blood until having low or not detectable levels, although this doesn’t mean that the virus has disappeared. This generally is obtained with the combination of three or more medicaments.
The guides of the treatment emphasize the importance of quality of life. Therefore, the purpose of the treatment of AIDS is to find the simplest treatment that has few collateral effects.
The answer to the treatment measures by levels of HIV in blood (viral load). These levels must be measured at the beginning of the treatment and each 3 or 4 months.
The treatment will include:

Laboratory tests to see the functioning of immunologic system:

It’s to measure the quantity of HIV present in your blood, and to detect infections or other medical problems.

Antiviral treatment:

Like with the medicaments Zidovudine (also called ZDV or AZT), Didanosine (DDL), Lamivudine (3TC) and the inhibitors protease newer.

Regular dental exams:

They are done because people who result with positive HIV have a high index of abnormalities in the mouth, including diseases of the gums.

Preventive treatment of diseases:

Yes, it’s done preventive treatment for disease such as: Pneumonia by Pneumocystis carinii (PCP), tuberculosis, toxoplasmosis (also you should avoid raw meat and the boxes with sand for cats), tetanus, hepatitis B, pneumococcus and flu.

The count of cells of lymphocytes CD4:

The count of cells of lymphocytes is an important test of laboratory. The cells CD4 are a type of white cell. They are the best indicator of how well is functioning the immunologic system of a person with positive HIV. If the first count of cells CD4 is major than 600 per microliter of blood, the test should repeat each 6 months. When the count starts to decrease, would be necessary more frequent counts.

Test of viral load:

This is a new test that measures the quantity of your HIV in blood. The superior levels to 10,000 viral copies per milliliter of blood are considered high and generally require of treatment soon.

The treatment with medicaments to prevent the Pneumonia by Pneumocystis carinii:

This treatment should begin when the count of CD4 is inferior to 200. You can start before if you have historic record of PCP.

The problems with the vision frequently are an initial indicator of the opportunist infection in people with positive HIV:

Tell your physician as soon as possible if you have symptoms with the eyes, especially if it’s about a blurred sight or partial loss of vision.

Duration of the effects:

The complete effects of AIDS could not appear until 5 to 10 years after you have been infected with the virus. Even when AIDS is a mortal disease, the expectations of life have increased when continue the development of new treatments.

Four types of medicaments are used to fight against the infection by HIV.

Nucleosides Analogous Inhibitors of Inverse Transcriptase:

In United States also they are known as “nukes”. When the HIV infects a healthy cell needs the cell DNA or genetic instructions to be able to assemble copies of it. These remedies act blocking the capacity of HIV to copy the cell DNA. Without a complete DNA, the HIV can’t assemble new viral copies. These medicines include the following:

1. Zidovudine, also known as AZT. (Brand name: Retrovir)
2. Didanosine, also known as DDL. (Brand name: Videx)
3. Zalcitabine, also known as DDC. (Brand name: Hivid)
4. Lamivudine, also known as 3TC. (Brand name: Epivir)
5. Stavudine, also known as D4T. (Brand name: Zerit)
6. Abacavir, also known as ABC. (Brand name: Ziagen)

Inhibitors not nucleosides of Inverse Transcriptase:

These medicaments also prevent that HIV use the DNA of the healthy cell to make copies of it, but of a lightly different way. This group includes the following medicines:

1. Delavirdine. (Brand name: Rescriptor)
2. Nevirapine. (Brand name: Viramune)
3. Efivarenz, also known as EFV. (Brand name: Sustiva)

Inhibitors of Protease:

These remedies work preventing that infected cells release the HIV inside the body. This group includes the following medicaments:

1. Saquinavir: (Brand name: Invirase)
2. Indinavir: (Brand name: Crixivan)
3. Nelfinavir: (Brand name: Viracept)
4. Ritonavir: (Brand name: Norvir)
5. Amprenavir: (Brand name: Agenerase)

Inhibitor of fusion:

This is the case of Enfuvirtide: (Brand name: Fuzeon). This medicine works preventing the entrance of the virus HIV inside the healthy cells of the body. This medicament is injected by a physician.
The different types of medicaments frequently are used joint (in combination) to decrease the quantity of HIV in your body.
When different medicaments combine with the purpose to diminish the quantity of HIV inside your blood until reaching the lowest levels, the regime of the treatment resulting is called highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART by its initials in English). Your physician must do to you a very careful following while you are being treated with these medicaments to see how efficient are in decreasing the quantity of virus inside your body. Your physician also wants to make sure that you aren’t having secondary effects like nausea, vomiting, fatigue, anemia or peripheral neuropathy (a sensation of numbness in your hands or in your feet).

The prevention of AIDS requires self-discipline and willpower and although the requirements seem to be personal restrictions, they are effective and can save lifes. ¡Be responsible!
The people with AIDS or asymptomatic who have positive results to the exam of antibodies, from the point of view legal, ethic and moral, you should inform about your positive state to HIV to your possible sexual couples that can transmit the disease to others.
So, if you are positive HIV, you have into consideration the following:

You shouldn’t donate blood, plasma, organs or semen.

You shouldn’t have sexual relationships with multiples couples, with people who have multiple couples, with people who consume drugs for intravenous via.

You should practice always safe sex, avoiding to exchange totally, anyway, the sexual secretions or blood, using always preventive measurements like latex condoms that assure the major protection for the couple, although still there is the risk of being infected. The abstinence is the only safe method of preventing the infection.

Ask your sexual couples to submit to test to determine the possible presence of HIV.

Inform your assistant of health attention that you are positive HIV. Don’t consume intravenous drugs, but if you have to do it, don’t share needles or syringes.

Don’t share needles for tatooings or earrings.

Inform the physicians, dentists, acupunctors, etc., to use disposable elements, sterilize their material and take the appropriate measurements of protection.

Clean all the surfaces stained of blood with bleach, leaving it to act at least 30 minutes.

Wash the clothes stained of blood or sexual secretions to high temperature, in dry o with bleach.

Don’t share the items of personal cleanliness that can enter in contact with blood, like dental brush, razor blade and machines, scissors and other cutting objects.

Cover the injuries and scratches with a dressing until they heal.

Avoid as soon as possible being pregnant. Don’t forget that, before get pregnant, you must receive assessing about the risks for the baby and the medical advances that can help you to avoid that the fetus infects with the virus.

The women positive to HIV shouldn’t breast-feed their babies.

If you are taking medicaments of retroviral action, you have few possibilities to transmit the virus. For example, a pregnant woman who is taking the treatment at the moment of the labor has only a 5% of capacity to transmit the HIV to her baby.

While you can’t cure AIDS it’s necessary to do that few people infect with HIV. For this you have to avoid the forms of contagions, through practices like the following:

Don’t share needles and syringes to inject drugs, steroids, vitamins or to do tatooings or piercings in the body. It doesn’t share either equipment (paraphernalia) used to prepare injectable drugs. Many people have infected with HIV, hepatitis and other germs of this way. The germs of an infected person can remain in the needle and being injected then in the next person who uses it.

To take a monogamic life, and be faithful to the commitment with only one person not infected decreases the probabilities. It’s necessary to achieve this, a level of maturity and mutual confidence with the couple. A way of protecting against the AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases is to choose very careful the couple.

To abstain from having sexual relationships is the safest behavior. The best advice for youth is that they keep this wonderful act for someone especial with whom they wish to share. The abstinence has other advantages like it’s to avoid the risk of pregnancy and the exposition to other sexually transmitted diseases.

For those people who have sexual behaviors that put them in risk to acquire STD, the correct and constant use of the latex condom for men can reduce the risks of transmission of these diseases. However, any method of protection is one hundred percent effective and the use of the condom can’t guarantee absolute protection against sexually transmitted diseases.

The lubricated condoms with spermicides are not more effective than other condoms to protect against the HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases. The condoms must use correctly and constantly so they offer the best protection. The incorrect use of the condom can cause slidings or breakages of the same, decreasing its protector effect. The inconstant use of the condom, for example, you don’t use it each time you have sexual relationships can cause the transmission of STD due to the contagion can produce with only one sexual act.

Don’t share razor blades or toothbrushes due to the possibility of contact with the blood.

If you are pregnant or relieves you could be soon, talk to your physician or with your local health department about the analyses to detect the HIV. If you have the virus, there are available treatments with medicines to help you and reduce the possibility to infect with HIV your baby.

To drink alcohol or use drugs increases the risk because these behaviors increase the probability of a person takes part of a sexual activity of high risk. Besides, many of the organisms can transfer though the shared use of needles or another utensil of drug consumption. The groups with sexual behaviors of high risk include homosexual or bisexual men, users of intravenous drugs who share needles, sexual couples of the people who are included inside the groups with sexual practices of high risk, children who born of mothers with a STD, and people who receive blood transfusions or coagulant products between 1977 and 1985 (before the oriented norms to avoid the presence of HIV in blood and hemoderivates).

We can’t forget that the most important form to prevent is to educate. Teach the people in how to live a life decreasing the risk. In this you are part of the solution, when you take this health message to other people.
