Having been acquiring the milestone status in the medicine field; human beings have been failed to defeat HIV knocking at the thin line of life dragging it to the death. Centuries passed, the inventions went on the board defeating the fret of the diseases occupying the free spirit of human health and today it can be no wonder if man claims to capture the flipping wings of the viruses and the bacterial infections. A big question is the still unbeaten AIDS the abbreviation of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome which challenges and mocks every precaution and every remedy proving futile.

AIDS virus attacks human immune system and damages it severely. This is one of the major causes leading death among the people of age 25-44. About an average estimation, annual crowd of 25 million becomes victim of HIV and pass away. With the assisted survey conducted under the supervision of World Health Organization; children fewer than 15 ages were crossing 2.1 million with HIV virus making 33.4 million people suffering with this disease.

After HIV attacks the human body, the immune system becomes vulnerable to the bacteria and the virus causing many diseases. Common bacteria, yeasts and many other viruses may not harm people having strong immune system but they can bring very fatal diseases in the people suffering AIDS.  Common places of the HIV are tears, spinal fluid, vaginal fluid, breast milk; however all these are not the source of transportation of the virus, only breast milk and the vaginal fluid are found to be the transportation source.  

After the series of the research conducted on the AIDS; the facts are found about HIV. Sexual contact including vaginal, oral or the sex brings the most proportion of the disease. Anyhow blood transfusion also becomes the major reason of the HIV. If the blood is donated by the HIV infected person, the receiver does receive the equal amount of the virus distribution. Therefore this is the most suggested to have HIV test before the blood is transported. If the blood is transferred without any suggested tests; there is a major risk of the person being prone to the disease. Third source is the transformation of the infection from the mother to the baby. If a pregnant woman is suffering with AIDS, the inborn infant will have it inherited.

Breast milk transfers the HIV virus to the infant. So, the milk feeding babies have all the viral and the bacterial diseases found in the woman. Other ways and the reasons of the virus transformation and these include the use of infected needle and the transplantation of the organ. If the transplanted organ is having the infection; the receiver does become the victim of AIDS.

There is a common confusion that if the organ receiver is the virus infected, the donor may become infected; this is not true and is a misconception. The donors are not in direct contact with the people receiving blood or the organ. Therefore the infection is never transferred from the receiver to the donor. However, the reversal of the concept is the reason. The receiver can be infected if the donor is likely to be suffering with HIV. Therefore, to reduce the risk the blood and the organ donators are gone through the screen tests.

There are rumor and the doubts about the virus being spread out through the casual contact like hugging. That’s an assumption; hugging does not cause HIV. Mosquitoes can never be a cause of the virus so; people making the windows closed and using the sprays all around for preventing them from AIDS; they must be aware of the fact this has nothing to deal with HIV.

People having fear of to be caught by the virus do not indulge in any activity which brings the human contact. They must know that AIDS is not transferred by the use of the things being touched by the people having HIV. Therefore social gatherings cannot be a reason of the disease spread through the sharing of edibles or the utensils.

Similarly the sports joining cannot bring AIDS to you. Often the AIDS suffering humans are avoided by the public and people do not like to share their common usage objects with them. In this way the society brings a common sense of inferiority to these individuals; therefore this is a duty of the state and the government to educate the people about the HIV and its risks, incidences and the causes. Thus AIDS having people suffer double torture; one is HIV and second is the cold attitude of the people living in society. These people cannot bring harm to the general crowd until are involved in one of the three major reasons as mentioned above.

When HIV enters in the human body system, it may not bring any symptom to appear even for ten years. Anyhow; the infected person can transfer the virus in this no symptom period. If the virus is not detected and treated at time; the infection can become severe and the disease enters in the serious phase. It starts with HIV infection and can become AIDS if goes untreated. Almost in all patients HIV progresses to AIDS. There is a small group of people who develop AIDS very slowly or never at all. This group is known as nonprogressors.

At present there is no treatment for AIDS. HAART is a therapy used for reducing the disease effects in the person suffering with the disease. HAART is a therapy which has its complications. It makes use of the medications, each with its side effects. Therefore doctors suggesting HAART must be careful recommending it.

Humanity is still waiting for the miraculous remedy which may bring the treatment of HIV.
