Common Questions and Answers about Hiv aids prognosis

aids

Avatar m tn A lot depends on resistance to drugs. Many current drugs only came out a few years ago and they offer hope even to people who became resistant to some of the previous drugs. Also, the more drugs you have the less resistance becomes a problem since the possibilities are better to form a strong cocktail, reducing the possibility of resistance. Another problem could be side effects from the medication. Again, this problem is much less with newer medication.
Avatar n tn It can be used to assess patient prognosis by measuring the baseline HIV-1 RNA level or to monitor the effects of antiretroviral therapy by measuring changes in EDTA plasma HIV-1 RNA levels during the course of antiretroviral treatment. The test is not intended for use as a screening test for the presence of HIV-1 in blood or blood products or as a diagnostic test to confirm the presence of HIV-1 infection.
Avatar m tn Personally I believe that there are far worse conditions than HIV and AIDS. I think that the situation with HIV has changed dramatically in the last few years and that medication has mede a huge difference in the prognosis of this condition. I think what is wrong is the stigma associated with it and the ignorance about it.

I was wondering why i ate much, but did not gain weight. I was having dry coughs, and had this flu' like for 3 weeks.
Avatar m tn Majority of HIV-infected people without treatment would die from AIDS in relatively short time interval (5-10 years). But only minority of HCV-infected people (probably, 20%) would die without theatment from HCV-related complications during their lifetime. Thus, HCV-infected people may remain infective during decades of all their lifetime.
Avatar m tn do you think i need to go along with it.6. worst case scenario what would be my prognosis if it turns out to be aids related myelopathy......have seen any of your patients develope this and did they recover.......sorry about the long post........
Avatar m tn t put yourself at risk for HIV...as oral sex is not a risk for HIV...ONLY unprotected vaginal or anal sex (sexually speaking).
Avatar m tn MY SON HAD UNPROTECTED SEX WITH A PROSTITUTE. HE IS 17 AND HE WAS A VIRGIN...HE IS CIRCUMSISED, DOES NOT DRINK OR USE DRUGS. I AM VERY SCARED AND DEPRESSED THAT HE MIGHT HAVE STI OR HIV. HE HAS BEEN TESTED FOR URINAL YSIS/FECES AFTER SIX DAYS AMD CAME BACK ALL NORMAL, BUT IS NOT CONCLUSIVE BECAUSE IT HAS NOT BEEN LONG ENOUGH. PLEASE IF YOU CAN GIVE ME PIECE OF MIND.
Avatar n tn If i gave head to a girl what are the odds of contracting the aids virus. I know she was in Chile this summer and had sex there with a Chilean boy. And there's a sex revolution in Chile everyone is having sex. I am worried she might have contracted the virus and maybe me too.
Avatar m tn Translated: Hi Doc, I am not sure if there are any vaginal fluid in my hand. It is not wet, and very little amount. Later on, I masturbate myself using the same hand. What's the risk of HIV?
Avatar f tn Hello, Can u kindly explain me how many stages are involved in HIV positive? Can get AIDS as soon as being suffered for HIV?? Can HIV person be recovered like a normal person if taking a medicine regularly and obeying doc's suggestion properly??
Avatar m tn Both of your exposures (unprotected receptive oral and deep kissing) do not put you at any risk of HIV. Your feelings are due to stress, anxiety or guilt. You are fine, move on with your life normally.
Avatar f tn Unlike HIV, HCV viral copies do not directly affect a patient's prognosis and how fast disease is progressing in the liver. Remember, we are measuring blood levels, not what is happening in liver cells. HIV viral load does have a lot to do with quicker progression to AIDS. But HCV viral load does not tell you how fast hepatitis is progressing. I suggest you read the rest of the article. Best of luck.
Avatar f tn Hello I am a practising Gp and from prognosis I can conclude my son you have AIDS!!!
