HIV and AIDS – Dating, news, medication side effects.

For HIV-infected people, doctors and nurses. Here you will find the best links.

For approx. 15 years ago, it has been shown that HIV-infected people cannot pass the HIV virus to other people if they are well treated. This means that the amount of virus measured in the blood must be zero. This means that if you are well treated and your medication is working well, you cannot pass the virus to anyone if you have unprotected sex without a condom.

Today, with the right treatment, women can have children without transmitting the HIV virus to the children. Well-treated HIV infected people cannot become infected with HIV, that is how it is today. HIV can be treated but not cured. Someone gets side effects from the medicine. These can be depression, altered fat distribution, pain in the shoulders, hips, knees, fatigue, pain in the bones, risk of heart attack and other things. HIV infected people can live as long as anyone else.

HIV is not transmitted by sharing drinking glasses, toilets, sharing towels, through saliva, tears, urine, sweat or faeces. HIV is also not transmitted through mosquito bites. Thus, it is understood, among other things, that HIV is not transmitted via kisses, hugs, oral sex and massage. Someone is afraid to eat at a restaurant if the chef is HIV-infected. You can safely eat at a restaurant where the chef or waiter is HIV-infected.

HIV can be transmitted through unprotected sex and through blood. The virus can be transmitted via blood if you receive a blood transfusion with blood from someone who is infected with the HIV virus. The chance of infection from wound to wound is virtually non-existent, as the blood pressure pushes blood out of the wound and does not absorb the blood. In addition, a greater amount of virus is required, which well-treated HIV infected people do not have.

The primary victims of misconceptions about HIV are people with HIV. They live with a disease where the story of what it's like to have HIV is told too much by the world around them rather than the facts.

Both NGOs and researchers have long stated that HIV-positive people can live their lives in exactly the same way as HIV-negative people.

The international Partner study, run by the research unit Chip, has followed 1,000 male, gay couples from 14 different countries in Europe.

One partner was HIV positive and the other was HIV negative. During the period from 2010 to 2018, the couples reported a total of almost 75,000 anal intercourses without a condom. Not a single case of infection was found between the couples. Zero! ! !

The condom, and especially the PrEP pill, can prevent you from becoming infected with HIV. If you have suspected that you have exposed yourself to HIV, perhaps stuck yourself with a needle, you can receive PrEP pill treatment in a hospital within 70 hours. There are examples of people having stuck a needle with both HIV - and HBV (hepatitis-b virus) - infected blood, and only HBV has been transmitted. This is precisely because HBV is a much more infectious virus than HIV, and fewer virus particles are needed to start an HBV infection than an HIV infection.

Unfortunately, there are still many countries that do not allow HIV-infected people to obtain a work permit. This is due to lack of knowledge, as well as sometimes superstitions and religions. Among other things, it has long been possible to get a work permit in the USA if you are HIV infected.

AIDS is an abbreviation for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. AIDS is a diagnosis you get if you, as the HIV-infected person, are affected by a number of certain infections and forms of cancer. As with HIV, one does not have AIDS until a number of illnesses have been diagnosed. In other words, AIDS is a collection of different diseases, all of which are caused by the immune system being destroyed by HIV. Just because you have been diagnosed with AIDS does not necessarily mean that you have to die, and many people live well with this diagnosis and grow old like everyone else.

Many of the diseases that lead to the diagnosis of AIDS can be treated today, and the medical treatment can make the immune system strong again. You can therefore have a long and good life, even if you have been diagnosed with AIDS.

Scientists are now testing the first effective HIV vaccine on humans – and in addition they are testing a new medicine that can once and for all make infected people completely healthy.

HIV medication: It is often one pill every day for the rest of your life, so not much different from a birth control pill. And yes, there are side effects, but most last 4 to 8 weeks, after which you probably won't notice anything from the medication.

A Zimbabwean politician has suggested that women should be circumcised and shaved to prevent HIV and AIDS.

There are myths that you can be cured by sleeping with a virgin or eating a certain fruit or vegetable. And myths that the infection is due to witchcraft. This is not correct in any way, but unfortunately a sign that there are still unenlightened people who believe more in unenlightened priests, politicians, witchcraft than facts.

It is not possible to look at a person if they have HIV!

Many get HIV at the same time as another sexually transmitted disease. So remember to protect yourself with a condom and enjoy sex, it's nice and natural
