What is AIDS ?
This is Project Report on HIV AIDS. Definition : Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome.
It is a pandemic disease. AIDS cannot be compared to disease like malaria and cholera which
claim more live in country currently. It has a greater impact than other disease. The treatment
options are still in the initial stages and are prohibitively expensive. There are instances of
quacks taking advantage of the situation. This has compounded the misery of AIDS patients.
1) Sexual intercourse with an infected partner if there is tissue injury to permit blood
contact.
5) Organ transplant.
6) Artificial insemination.
AIDS is not a contagious disease. It does not spread by casual contact, such as handshake ,
body contact in crowded places, working or playing together , sharing clothes , eating food
cooked by infected person, using same toilet, swimming pools. It is also not and ribovirin
seem most promising. A drugs named zide vuidine prolongs the life of many AIDS patient.
However some patients AIDS virus have already mutated to zidovudine resistant forms.
It is 100 to 140 nm. in diameter and has a cylindrical core. It is found in blood and semen and
to a lesser extent in milk tears and saliva. It is a retrovirus, i.e. its genetic material is - RNA
(single stranded linear) which can make a DNA copy of itself with the help of the reverse
transcriptase enzyme. The virus bind specifically to a surface receptor on a helper T-cell and
introduce its RNA and reverse transcriptase enzyme into the cells here it multiplies and the
release of new virus destroys the cell. AIDS occurs when the helper T-cell falls too low to
fight the disease.
Manifestation of AIDS
Manifestation :- It can manifest in two major ways -
ii) Viral, bacterial, protozoan and fungalin-fection of any system of the body. There are
destruction of WBCS, damage to brain,. unexplained fever, unexplained loss of appetite,
unexplained loss weight over a short time, chronic diarrhea, cough, night sweats,
enlargement of lymph glands, shortness of breath, weakness.
ii) Immuno simulative therapy to increase the number of resistance - providing cells in the
body or both. However no specific treatment has been found so far and the mortality form
AIDS is virtually 100%. A victim of full blown AIDS dies with in 3 year from infection of
many drugs tried, azithmidine transmitted by blood sucking insects such as mosquitoes,
AIDS virus has been found in urine, tears saliva, breast milk and vaginal secretions, but is
seems not to transmitted by these fluids unless it gets a cut.
i) People particularly those in high risk group should be educated about AIDS
transmission.
v) Before receiving blood, ensure that it has been screened for HIV.
a) Blood Donors,
b) Organ Donors
Chastity, life long monogamy, and a clean needle for each injection are the only ways to
prevents the spread of AIDS. These measure will succeed only in persons not already
infected.
More than 90% of the infected persons are belong to developing countries.
REASONS :-
(vi)High incidence of sexuality transmitted diseases and reproductive tract infections among
men and women.
(i) National AIDS programme of south East Asian countries are beginning to yield
encouraging results. The 100% condom use programme in Thailand and the Sonagachi
project in Calcutta, a model peer education programme among sex workers, have helped
bring down AIDS infection and also reduced the incidence of STD.
(ii) Non-government organizations have brought Baptist interest litigations against such cases
of discrimination and the courts have pronounced the rights of such peoples. This has helped
alleviate the misery of affected persons.
CONCLUSION
After studying the cause and effects of AIDS from different views, we conclude that it is a
pandemic disease. It is mainly spreading sexually and person of the age group of 25-45 years
are the most affected group. There are some methods like Antiviral Therapy and Immuno
Stimulative therapy which bring some hope that even then no specific treatment has been
found so for and morality form is virtually 100%. So only prevention in the test medicine
care.
OBSERVATION
HYPOTHESIS
AIDS is non curable due to its nature of pathogen. It also damage immune system of the
body. Therefore any medicine (Antiviral) drugs are not effective against HIV virus.
Ignorance and lack of knowledge about this disease is the root cause of wide spread of this
disease.
