Infections That Increase The Chances Of HIV
HIV or the Human Immunodeficiency Virus is the virus responsible for causing AIDS in those people infected by the virus. AIDS is caused in the advanced stage of the infection. The virus destroy the immune system of the person as soon as it enters the body. It weakens the body within a few days and the body becomes incapable of fighting the virus. However, if the HIV infection is diagnosed in the earlier stage, with proper medication, the severity can be reduced. A person infected by HIV is prone to infect people around him rapidly.
There are several ways of acquiring the infection. HIV is prominent in fluids found in the body which includes breast milk, vaginal secretions, blood, and semen. The primary mode of transmission of HIV is through sexual contact. The other modes include needle sharing, during childbirth, and more. World Aids Day is celebrated on December 1st every year to increase awareness about the pandemic. People around the world join hands to fight against the deadly infection.
HIV infection is considerably preventable with a few measures. Careful sex, that is, using condoms during sex, use of disposable needles, etc., will reduce the risk of HIV infection. Here are a list of infections that may increase the chances of HIV.
Beware
of
HPV
HPV,
also
known
as
Human
Papilloma
Virus
is
one
which
causes
sexually
transmitted
infections.
It
is
also
the
one
which
increases
the
chances
of
HIV
infection.
The
studies
relating
the
link
between
HPV
and
HIV
infection
were
studied
on
men,
heterosexuals
and
women.
HPV
is
also
responsible
for
causing
cervical
cancer
after
sex.
This
is
also
one
of
the
common
Sexually
Transmitted
Infections
prevalent
round
the
globe.
So
beware
of
those
HPV's
and
take
caution
to
prevent
HIV.
Sores
on
Genitals
Genital
infections
and
those
sores
on
genitals
may
increase
the
risk
of
HIV
infection.
HSV-2
or
the
Herpes
Simplex
Virus
are
the
one's
responsible
for
causing
genital
sores.
The
sores
on
the
genitals
can
be
treated,
however,
studies
show
that
even
treated
genital
sores
may
increase
the
risk
of
HIV
infection.
The
findings
of
the
study
establishes
a
link
between
the
HSV-2
and
the
increased
risk
of
acquiring
HIV.
The
HSV-2
increases
the
chances
of
acquiring
HIV
infection
up
to
three
fold.
Fear
those
who
make
use
of
the
opportunity
There
are
a
special
set
of
infections
called
the
opportunistic
infections.
These
infections
take
advantage
of
the
weakness
of
the
immune
system
in
the
people
infected
by
HIV.
These
opportunistic
infections
are
most
often
the
cause
of
death
in
the
people
with
HIV
infection.
Hence
it
is
imperative
to
lower
the
risk
of
these
opportunistic
infections
once
you
are
diagnosed
with
HIV.
One
of
the
ways
to
reduce
the
risk
is
to
go
for
antiretroviral
therapy.
The
treatment
may
show
considerable
effect
on
reducing
the
risk
of
opportunistic
infections.
The
effects
of
these
types
of
infections
may
be
spread
all
over
the
body
or
sometimes
may
remain
local.
Kaposi's
sarcoma
and
candidasis
are
some
of
the
opportunistic
infections.
