Avatar n tn Vaccine Campaigns May Be The Cause of New AIDS-Like Disease in Asia and Drug Resistant HIV Affecting Africa Researchers have identified mysterious new symptoms that have left scores of people in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa with an AIDS-like disease and drug-resistant HIV respectively. Coincidentally, vaccine trials took place in several regions in both continents. The patients' immune systems become damaged, leaving them unable to fend off germs as healthy people do.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar m tn so far theirs no cure for hiv/aids there trying it on monkeys atlease thats what ive heard
1530342 tn?1405016490 A vaccine is FAR more likely than a cure. For MOST viral infections, there is no cure, and with HIV, a retrovrius, it is unlikely. We still don't have a cure for the common cold, and influenza. A cure would be wonderful, but just think of all the other diseases out there with no cure, only treatments. The thing to be thankful for is how far we've come in the treatment for HIV/AIDS. MANY people are living completely normal life spans...
Avatar m tn Did they find any cure or vaccine to prevent hiv?
Avatar f tn Dear Vance,teak,howardh,nursegirl and all the experts of the forum few days ago i was having a normal discussion over the HIV topic with few of the medical representatives and they were saying that now a days medical science is so advance that a cure for hiv and AIDS is there but medicine giants are not issuing it out just because a huge amount of money they have invested in treatment of HIV and AIDS so they are restricted to reveal it for the public interest whereas few were saying that cure o

Avatar f tn finally at 82 days I have went ICTC centre Mumbai where they have tested me for HIV and syphilis both came negative.. COMB AIDS test was used..
Avatar m tn This subject has a great deal of controversy surrounding it, but I have included a link to the Bill and Melinda Gates foundations which works with HIV/AIDS research around the world. I hope you find your answers or at least some hope............ http://www.hivplusmag.
Avatar f tn 3. I read the France news they say they already find the AIDS therapeutic vaccine, is that real ? If yes is that means HIV can be Treatment soon?
Avatar n tn uncompetent immune system is the one from aids people, aids with no hiv due to drugs addiction or alcool addiction, or depressed immune system by steroids, chemio or anti rejection transplanted people......
Avatar m tn Neuropathy caused by HIV would only occur as HIV progresses to AIDS. This would not happen within a few months of contracting HIV, even if you had, against all astronomical odds, contracted HIV.
Avatar n tn - have a damaged spleen or no spleen - have sickle-cell disease - have HIV infection or AIDS - have cancer, leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma - have nephrotic syndrome - have had an organ or bone marrow transplant - are taking medication that lowers immunity (such as chemotherapy or long-term steroids). When a second dose is given, it should be given 5 years after the first dose. Here is a Vaccine Information Statement with more information: http://www.cdc.
163305 tn?1333668571 Because hepatitis C is more virulent than HIV, no one was confident a vaccine against all the various strains around the world could be developed. But Michael Houghton, the University of Alberta researcher who announced his work today at the Canada Excellence Research Chairs Summit in Vancouver, says his vaccine works against every known strain of the virus.
Avatar m tn hbv has no symptoms and if you have no aids or take immune suppressive drugs you clear hbv more than 95% times, as an adult it is less than a flu, it makes no liver damage it is not even possible to make studies about cronic hbv on adults because there are no cases found on normal immune system patients it is possible to get cronic hbv almost 100% (more than 95% times) at birth when there is no immune system.
Avatar n tn if you are newly infected with HIV...you should know that! AIDS is later in the stage of infection when an HIV+ person becomes susceptible to opportunistic infections, and whose lab work indicates that they have progressed to "AIDS" classification. There is a correlation between the Lymes reactions and HIV...but I am unversed in all that...hence why it is a good idea to f/u with an ID doctor. This is why WB's are done....to rule out...or confirm infection.
Avatar m tn Hepatitis B and C and HIV/AIDS are infectious diseases that happen when harmful germs get into your body and make you ill. Hepatitis B is is transmitted through contact with the blood or other body fluids of an infected person. Hepatitis C is spread by contact with the blood of an infected person. HIV is spread through contact in a variety of ways. http://www.kidney.org/atoz/content/what_infectdiseases.cfm http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs204/en/ http://aids.about.
Avatar m tn Your question was answered.
Avatar f tn Also did you hear that there has been a patient cured of HIV and there is now a vaccine for HIV? The national aids conference was yesterday and I heard that on the news. So I do not need to test at all more????
Avatar m tn thanks teak,Many people in China know you, you are a AIDS fighter.Can you tell me the reason why is no risk? Because the pinprick is too small wound?
Avatar m tn no risk for both being 17yo even if you get hbv you will clear it with no symptoms unless you use drugs, remember aids is not a consequence of hiv but of drug use of any type.
Avatar m tn FIRST OF ALL....LIKE LIZZIE HAS SAID OVER AND OVER......YOU ARE GOING TO END UP BANNED! You are spamming the board with your ridiculous comments & multiple threads. You do NOT have peripheral neuropathy. That is something that occurs LATE in HIV infection or w/AIDS anyway.....if you're going to read on the internet...read the right stuff. If you have numbness and tingling...it's psychosomatic/anxiety related.....I'm 100% sure of it. Second....
Avatar f tn I fully respect your comments about vaccine's and believe that every parent has the right to choose what their child gets or doesn't get. I just wanted to make an off-topic correction to your comment about blood transfusions and how they aren't scanned thoroughly for diseases. I work for an HIV/AIDS clinic and it is now rare to get HIV (not AIDS) from a blood transfusion. It happened a lot in the 80's and early 90's because there wasn't proper testing.
Avatar n tn My son who up to 3 months ago was sharing needles (Herion Addiction) just had his 3 month blood work done for HIV and HEP. Thank God, all came back negative. However, his Hep B Surface Ab # was 1.79. He's 23 years old. I'm his father and I had the same test done and my number was <0.1 He's had no other risks since getting off of drugs in October. What's the difference in numbers tell me?
Avatar m tn How long does it take for hiv to turn into aids? does an hiv infected person always feel sick?
