Answer 1

ANSWER 1 ---

HIV is a sexually transmitted infection (STI). It can also be spread by contact with infected blood or from mother to child during pregnancy, childbirth or breast-feeding. Without medication, it may take years before HIV weakens your immune system to the point that you have AIDS.

There's no cure for HIV/AIDS, but medications can dramatically slow the progression of the disease. These drugs have reduced AIDS deaths in many developed nations.

ANSWER ---

AIDS is a devastating and deadly disease that affects people worldwide and, like all infections, it comes without warning. Specifically, childbearing women with AIDS face constant psychological difficulties during their gestation period, even though the pregnancy itself may be normal and healthy. These women have to deal with the uncertainties and the stress that usually accompany a pregnancy, and they have to live with the reality of having a life-threatening disease; in addition to that, they also have to deal with discriminating and stigmatizing behaviors from their environment. It is well known that a balanced mental state is a major determining factor to having a normal pregnancy and constitutes the starting point for having a good quality of life. Even though the progress in both technology and medicine is rapid, infected pregnant women seem to be missing this basic requirement. Communities seem unprepared and uneducated to smoothly integrate these people in their societies, letting the ignorance marginalize and isolate these patients. For all the aforementioned reasons, it is imperative that society and medical professionals respond and provide all the necessary support and advice to HIV-positive child bearers, in an attempt to allay their fears and relieve their distress. The purpose of this paper is to summarize the difficulties patients with HIV infection have to deal with, in order to survive and merge into society, identify the main reasons for the low public awareness, discuss the current situation, and provide potential solutions to reducing the stigma among HIV patients.

Answer 2

Explanation:

1. White blood cells are an important part of the immune system. HIV infects and destroys certain white blood cells called CD4+ cells. If too many CD4+ cells are destroyed, the body can no longer defend itself against infection.
2. It seems that the identification and focusing on psychological, social, and family problems of affected people not only is an important factor for disease prevention and control, but also enables patients to have a better response to complications caused by HIV AIDS
3. HIV-related stigma and discrimination remains an important barrier in effectively fighting the HIV and AIDS epidemic. Stigma and discrimination can result in people living with HIV / AIDS (PLHA) being shunned by family and the community, poor treatment in healthcare and educational settings, an erosion of rights, and psychological damage. Stigmatization would make people hesitant to get the test done, therefore, more PLHA are unaware that they are suffering from HIV / AIDS, and are thereby putting his/ her sexual partners and /or needle sharers at risk of getting infected, due to lack of precautionary measures
4. Recently, an outbreak of new HIV cases in a rural town in Indiana made national headlines, highlighting the importance of implementing targeted programs in rural communities to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS. As of February 2016, this small town of 4,000 people had nearly 200 new HIV diagnoses. Adding to the impact of the HIV outbreak, more than 80% of the cases are co-infected with the hepatitis C virus. The Indiana State Department of Health linked this outbreak to injection drug use of opioids, highlighting another significant problem in rural America.
