HIV/AIDS Management

HIV/AIDS management refers to the medical care, treatment, and support provided to individuals living with HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) or AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). It encompasses a comprehensive approach to addressing the physical, emotional, and social aspects of the disease. HIV/AIDS management aims to improve the quality of life of individuals with HIV/AIDS, prevent disease progression, and reduce the risk of transmission to others.

Here are some key aspects of HIV/AIDS management:

  • Diagnosis and Monitoring
  • Antiretroviral Therapy (ART)
  • Adherence to Treatment
  • Opportunistic Infection Management
  • Routine Health Monitoring
  • Supportive Care

Frequently Asked Questions

HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that attacks the immune system, specifically targeting CD4 cells, which are crucial for fighting infections. AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) is the final stage of HIV infection when the immune system is severely damaged, leaving individuals vulnerable to opportunistic infections and certain cancers.

HIV is transmitted through contact with certain body fluids, including blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and breast milk. The most common modes of transmission include unprotected sexual intercourse, sharing contaminated needles or other drug paraphernalia, and from an infected mother to her child during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding.

Antiretroviral therapy (ART) refers to the combination of HIV medications used to treat HIV infection. ART consists of a combination of at least three antiretroviral drugs from different classes. These medications work by suppressing the replication of the virus, reducing the viral load in the body, and allowing the immune system to recover.
