Awareness about Human Immunodeficiency Virus

Abstract

The virus are often transmitted through contact with infected blood, semen or vaginal fluids. Within a couple of weeks of HIV infection, flu-like symptoms like fever, pharyngitis and fatigue can occur [1]. Then the disease is typically asymptomatic until it progresses to AIDS. AIDS symptoms include weight loss, fever or night sweats, fatigue and recurrent infections. No cure exists for AIDS, but strict adherence to antiretroviral regimens (ARVs) can dramatically slow the disease's progress also as prevent secondary infections and complications.
