The medications used to treat this disease are called “antiretroviral” drugs. They block the development of the virus at various stages of its reproductive cycle. The treatment always involves using a combination of several medications, which improves its effectiveness. Taking all of the medication every day is essential to ensure optimal treatment. Antiretroviral drugs help slow down the progression of the virus and therefore, maintain a strong immune system to delay the onset of AIDS as long as possible. There is no cure for AIDS at present.
Prevention
There is presently no vaccine to prevent contracting HIV. The best way to protect yourself from the consequences of HIV and AIDS is to avoid being contaminated by the virus. The following precautionary measures are recommended to reduce the risks of contamination:
use a condom during sexual intercourse (vaginal, anal or oral);avoid sharing syringes;use disposable gloves when at risk of direct contact with blood;for HIV positive women, consider giving birth by caesarian section;for HIV positive women who are new mothers, consider feeding your baby with formula instead of breastfeeding;
Another precautionary measure which is essential in preventing contamination, is medical screening. If you are sexually active and have had unprotected sexual intercourse, it may be advisable to have a blood test for HIV screening. Talk to your doctor about your risk level and the relevance of the test in your situation. Contamination often occurs through sexual intercourse with an infected partner who is unaware of his/her condition.
Although AIDS is more prevalent in other parts of the world than in North America, everyone should be aware of this scourge, since no one is completely sheltered from such an infection. December 1, 2013, will mark World AIDS Day. Why not take advantage of this opportunity to have a discussion with the people close to you (i.e. your teens, if you are a parent) about HIV and AIDS, their consequences, and especially, of the ways of protecting yourself from the disease? A number of activities will be held around Canada to raise public awareness regarding the issues surrounding this disease which profoundly affects the lives of millions of individuals in the world. A contribution by each and every one of us can make a big difference.
