HIV AGAIN!

HIV is a retrovirus is any of a group of viruses that contain two single-strand linear RNA molecules per virion, which means it carries its genetic blueprint in the form of ribonucleic acid (RNA) instead of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Additionally, the enzyme reverse transcriptase is employed to copy its genome into the DNA of the host cell's chromosomes. Usually the cellular process involves transcription of DNA into RNA. Reverse transcriptase makes it possible for genetic material to become permanently incorporated into the DNA genome of an infected cell.HIV infection mostly occurs through sexual contact.It can also be transmitted via blood such as sharing of needles or blood transfusionStudies have shown that HIV is not transmitted through contact such as touching or sharing towels, bedding, utensils.It is important to acknowledge that it is not sex that transmits HIV, but certain bodily fluids: blood, semen, vaginal secretions and breast milk.High-risk behaviors that can result in HIV transmission are sharing needles for drugs, tattoos, body piercing, with an HIV-infected person and/or engaging in unprotected anal, vaginal or oral sex with a person who is HIV infected. The virus also can be transmitted from an HIV-infected mother to her child through pregnancy, birth or breastfeeding.People contracted with other sex diseases are more prone to be affected during sex with an infected partner because mucous membranes are porous and viruses and other pathogens are able to pass through, these areas are rich in immune cells. When a person already has a sexually transmitted disease, sex organs may be flooded with CD4+T cells, making it much easier for HIVto infect.Also it is not unusual for HIV-infected persons to experience symptoms years after the initial infection; some may be symptom free for over 10 years. However, during the asymptomatic period, the virus is actively multiplying and destroying cells in the immune system, weakening the body's ability to fight infection. The effect is most keenly observed in the decline of the immune system's key infection fighters in the blood, the CD4+T cells
