Can I Get HIV and What Is AIDS?

What is aids Can you explain how hiv falls in anyone

1 Answer

Answered on 22nd July '24

AIDS stands for Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. It's a severe condition that is unable to be healed, which is caused by a virus called HIV. HIV, which is the root of AIDS, weakens the human immune system. It is for this reason that the body can not ward off infections. Among the many symptoms of AIDS, the main ones include rapid weight loss, frequent fevers, and extreme tiredness. The most preferable treatment option is to explain HIV through the use of protection drugs during intimacy and not to use needles.  Early screening and taking the required medications could help manage the virus.

Muje fever he kabhi aata he kabhi thik ho jata he kabhi kabar bahot thand chadh jati he throat me bhi infection he mcv count is decreased and mchc count is increased and tlc is increased

Male | 24

A feve­r that comes and goes could be an infection. The chills, sore throat, and blood te­st results support this too. Your MCV was low, MCHC high, and TLC raised - signs something's not right. Don't worry though, infe­ctions are common and treatable. But you must re­st up, drink lots of liquids, and eat nutritious meals. See­ a doctor soon as antibiotics might be neede­d to help you heal faster.

I'm depressed that is I'm hiv positive pls help me

Male | 19

If you have recently been diagnosed with HIV, it is quite normal to feel low. Symptoms of HIV include fever, sore throat, and being more tired than usual. The virus makes the immune system weaker, so the body cannot fight infections easily. Always, keep the thought in your mind that HIV is treatable with the help of medications. Medicines can indeed assist you in leading a healthy life. Discuss with your doctor initiating medication and going to support groups.

According to the symptoms, there may be an underlying serious illness. You should seek medical attention immediately for a correct diagnosis and treatment plan. They can mean different things such as infections, autoimmune diseases, and cancers. Do'nt wait any longer before visiting a doctor because these signs need urgent care.

Intensive work up for HIV should be done in patients with progressively decreasing CD4 count (<300) and CD4:CD8 ratio.

Male | 13

Someone­'s CD4 count below 300 and off-kilter CD4:CD8 ratio signal immune woe­s, perhaps from HIV. HIV weakens immunity. At first, HIV infe­ction shows no symptoms but later allows easy infections. Early te­sting and treatment promote he­alth.

Female | 19

It looks like there are certain elements that are below the required levels in your body. For it to function properly, your body needs them. Feeling tired, weak, or unlike yourself can be signs of insufficient amounts of these substances. When some substances are too many, then it may mean that the body is fighting something. To help you feel better soon, you might have to take such supplements like Vitamin B12 or Iron among others.

At what lowest cd 19 levels rituximab can be given.mine is52. Diagnosed with mctd with mg can I go-ahead with rituximab dose.

Female | 55

Your CD19 level is 52, and you're dealing with mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) and myasthenia gravis (MG). Typically, Rituximab is considered when CD19 levels are 20 or lower. Symptoms of MCTD and MG include joint pain, fatigue, and muscle weakness. Rituximab may help by targeting specific immune cells. It's best to discuss with your doctor to see if it's right for you.

I did lft test on Friday and my globulin level is 3.70 and now Tuesday after 4 days I did again lft test and globulin level is 4 I am so scared it increasing what should I do

Male | 38

A minor rise in your globulin level in the blood profile is not usually a cause of concern. Globulin is a protein in your blood that serves as a defense against infections. The levels of this protein may at times, be affected by factors such as dehydration or infections. No need to panic if you have not noticed any change in your health or you have not developed any unusual symptoms. Consume enough water and a healthy diet of fruits and vegetables. If you observe any new symptoms or if this continues, consult with your doctor for further advice.

I am 38 years and married. In October, last year I went to donate blood but was told one of the test is positive for HIV. I was asked to retest after months. I did and it is still same inconclusive result. What should I do?

Male | 38

The fact that your test was inconclusive implies that it's still not clear if you are HIV positive or not. Regarding the symptoms of HIV, they are similar to fever, tiredness, and weight loss. More likely, bringing about can be unsafe sex or sharing needles. Therefore, you must see a doctor

Anti hiv value 0.229 is good

Male | 19

It's great to know that your anti-HIV value is 0.229. This shows that you have a certain amount of HIV antibodies that your body has made but not many. It could mean you were infected recently or just exposed without getting sick. Keep an eye on it with frequent testing.

Sir mera bilirubin lbl ,9.3 he or muja hb e disis ha

Male | 26

A bilirubin level of 9.3 is somewhat elevated. It might be an indication that your liver is not functioning properly. This could lead to jaundice, which is a condition wherein your skin and eyes become yellowish. High-bilirubin conditions may be caused by disorders of the liver or red blood cell problems. After treatment of the liver disease, which is the actual cause of high bilirubin levels, normal bilirubin levels could be achieved.

Male | 38

You may be dehydrated, which can cause a dry mouth, dizziness, and tiredness. Low folic acid and high bilirubin levels might also be factors. Try drinking more water and eating leafy greens and citrus fruits for folic acid. If symptoms persist, see a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment.
