AIDS
AIDS: Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS or aids) is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV. This virus belongs to a group of viruses called retroviruses. HIV gradually reduces the efficiency of the human immune system, i.e., it destroys the body’s ability to fight diseases. This makes the body vulnerable to other life-threatening diseases that finally cause the patient’s death. This virus is transmitted through blood, semen and breast milk. Thus, a person can get HIV by transfusion of infected blood, sharing of needle with an infected person or having sexual intercourse with an infected person. An unborn child can get the infection from the mother. Mother’s milk can infect an infant.
Signs and Symptoms: The common symptoms of AIDS are swollen lymph glands, weight loss, frequent fever, night sweats and diarrhoea. The disease may affect the central nervous system, which may cause memory loss and difficulty in speaking.
Control: No drug has yet been developed to cure AIDS. A patient is usually given a combination of drugs that manage to slow down the progress of the disease. Scientists are working on drugs that promise to cure this disease in the near future.
