AIDS

In 1981 June scientists in US reported first clinical proof of a disease called AIDS.It's cause is (HIV) human immunodeficiency virus which was identified in 1983.Almost thirty years later AIDS epidemic spread to all corners of world and almost sixty million people have been affected by this virus HIV.HIV is found in our bodily fluids,it can spread from one to other very easily.This is how it looks from outside.

Over the ensuing decades,rate of infection soared,but now new antiretroviral treatment has began to extend the lives of those who were effected by this disease.In this world almost more than 5 million people have access to this treatment by which deaths caused by AIDS are reduced more than 20 percent in the last five years.
This is the inner structure of AIDS virus.

AIDS is a serious condition which can lead you to death.This virus is found in our sweat,saliva and tears.It is found that AIDS can spread by sneezing,shaking hands,mosquito bites or from toilet seats.After the symptoms are gone our immune system tries to keep the virus bay for while but it cannot get rid of it.
Symptoms of this virus appears after two to twelve weeks after it enters.At this point this virus has started to take over immune cells in the body.Symptoms are same like flu,diarrhea,fever,headache,weakness,rash,swollen glands,weight loss,joint pain and night sweats.When these symptoms appear the person is badly effected by the virus,after medicine this virus goes in almost in a week or month and person will start to feel fine and good again but these symptoms can return after time to time.
AIDS can even further lead to different diseases like cancer,especially cancer of immune system which can cause our death.Most people with AIDS die because of the Diseases caused by AIDS.This virus can infect our brain and can make it worse and worse by time if medical treatment is not taken.
A simple blood test can know the HIV status in the body but many people who live for years without symptoms have been infected by this virus never know that they are caught in AIDS
Scientists are working on it to make it more easy to solve.New treatments and medicines have been introduced.In the past 10 years almost 56 countries have stabilized new HIV infections by more than 25 percent.New HIV infections has been reduced by almost 20 percent and in babies it has been dropped by 25 percent which is a good achievement.
