HIV is the acronym for the human immunodeficiency virus. HIV is virus that causes the incurable acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Over time, HIV destroys the helper T cells of the body’s immune system, resulting in a critical deterioration of the immune system and the ability of the body to fight infection.
HIV is most often a sexually transmitted virus. It is passed from one person another during sexual contact that involves vaginal, oral, or anal sex. HIV can also be passed to another person through other means, such as through contact with blood or body fluids. This can occur through such processes as blood transfusions or sharing needles contaminated with HIV. HIV can also be passed from an infected mother to her baby during pregnancy, childbirth or breastfeeding.
Early infection with HIV often produces no symptoms. When there are symptoms, they can include flu-like symptoms that occur about four to eight weeks after infection. These symptoms generally go away within several weeks. There then may be no symptoms for months to years. The most serious complication of HIV infection is AIDS.
Treatments
Treatment of HIV starts with prevention. Preventive measures include seeking regular medical care throughout the lifetime. Regular medical care allows a health care professional to best evaluate symptoms and the risks of catching HIV and regularly test for it as needed. These measures greatly increase your chances of catching and treating HIV in its earliest stages
ORIGIN OF HIV/ AIDS
No clear cause origin of aids / HIV, however there is several theories that have been propounded to help us understand among the theories include:
- Comment and curse
- Monkey meat theory

(3) Accidental emergence
During the 1970 there was an outbreak of small pox in southern African and central with sent doctors on an anti- pox campaign / vaccination.
During this vaccination its believed that the vaccine of small pox and polio were accidentally mixed and hence to their contamination which in turn lead to mutation of this respective virus to HIV .
(4) Conspiracy theory,
During this era biological weapon have been manufactured as a weapon of mass destruction.
Just like anthrax weapon the developing world believed that HIV was manufactured or created by the developed world as chemical biological weapon through which the developing world could be examinee / done a way with so that the developed world could have total control of the whole world . Propone for this theory argue that despite the fact that HIV was first diagnosed in developed world.
It’s first diagnosed in the developed world. Its prevalence rate is quite high in the developing world as opposed to the developed world.
