BANGKOK – For the first time, an experimental vaccine has prevented infection with the AIDS virus, a watershed event in the deadly epidemic and a surprising result. Recent failures led many scientists to think such a vaccine might never be possible.
The World Health Organization and the U.N. agency UNAIDS said the results "instilled new hope" in the field of HIV vaccine research.
I was very sick when I was 11 years old with blisters on my mouth and high fever for about two weeks. Could that have been hepatitis B? I lived in Africa at the time. Again, my mom did not have a docotor and does not know what that illness was. Can one have hepatitis B from contact without sex and vaccine? Thank you for your help.
Millions of cases of an infection for which there is no vaccine, no effective treatment, and where case management is so expensive that it is beyond the reach of most patients," said Dr. Laith J. Abu-Raddad, co-author of the study and assistant professor of public health at the Infectious Disease Epidemiology Group at the Weill Cornell Medical College-Qatar."
Alarming.
Lizzy I did something stupid when i was in Africa , i made contact by tapping my exposed penile head on her privates -then penetrated about twice (thrusts), upon realisation I wore a condom , in a missionary position and at some stage let go to violently fall by means of gravity to penetrate as there was not much resistance...this is stupid and embaracing but now i am very sick-had oral leasons, chest infections, night sweat, joint pain and a runny stomach.
Hepatitis B prevalence is highest in sub-Saharan Africa and East Asia. Most people in these regions become infected with the hepatitis B virus during childhood and between 5–10% of the adult population is chronically infected.
High rates of chronic infections are also found in the Amazon and the southern parts of eastern and central Europe. In the Middle East and the Indian subcontinent, an estimated 2–5% of the general population is chronically infected.
Ok, this kind of bites the big one!!!!!!! I am planning this trip to west Africa, and the country that I am going to requires the Yellow Fever Vaccination to be able to go there. Being HIV+, it is not recommended to receive the Yellow Fever VAX, since it is a live vaccine. I have had the vaccine once before back in either 1993 or 1994. I spoke to one "travel nurse" who said that since I have received the vaccine once in the past, another one would be just a "booster.
Hi, Anti HAV antibody is a test for Hepatitis A antibody not HIV. If you dad had a vaccine or past infections for Hepatitis A it would be positive for IgG antibody and negative for IgM. So, if he had the vaccine he is immune to Hepatitis A. If he didn't have the vaccine he was exposed to in sometime in his life (in the past) and is immune to the virus and is not sick now and won't transmit it to his family or friends.
No this is not in any way a test for AIDS.
The rates of syphilis indeed are higher in parts of Africa than in most of the US, but syphilis by kissing would still be a very rare outcome in situations like this. You can safely assume your oral lesion isn't syphilis. You might avoid kissing your wife while you have it, out of caution in case it's oral herpes (unrelated to your extramarital exposure) -- but otherwise I wouldn't worry about it.
Since it was with a mixed race prostitute from Africa I started to worry because in Africa there is HIV and AIDS.I tested 5 times through the laboratory and realised a negative status.I told my story indirectly to a medical microbiologist as im still worried because I have a rough layer of white on my tongue which feels like dead cells.The microbiologist said there was no 100% chance of someone being truely negative.
Hello dr
i will not ask about the risk of hiv i know i am not infected but i am asking questions if you could answer them it will be appreciated
as you are expert you know that there is a huge number of people who are infected with aids in the world do you think that they all got the virus through sexual relations.
hello im looking here about the post the guy made : I had what I would call, dry sex. I had my cordoroid shorts on and a the women had her underwear on. She was on the top and rubing. I my shorts on and no underwear on and I was rubbing as well. When she had her orgasm, she is a women who shoots out her vaginal *** or whatever you want to call it when she has a orgasim, that was a first time I have ever seen that.
Personally there is a Vaccine currently in Phase 1 Trails that was recently Approved by the FDA which in a sense is a major step for any Vaccine. This Vaccine uses a Whole HIV Virus instead of little bits of it. There is also a Heavy Duty Vaccine (Genes) in the pipeline as well. We also need to Focus Prevention Methods on the hardest hit the Gay community. We need to have a Aggressive safe sex promotion and Widespread HIV TESTING.
