WHAT IS HIV?

HIV is a human immuno virus, which affects the immune system negatively and weakens the body’s ability to fight with infections

WHAT CAUSES HIV?

HIV can be contracted in many ways; they are:

UNPROTECTED SEX:

A person can contract HIV if they come in contact with their HIV positive partners bodily fluids The usage of a condom can prevent this

TRANSFUSION OF BLOOD:

HIV can be contracted using blood transfusions

BREASTFEEDING AND DELIVERY:

HIV positive mothers are suggested not to breastfeed their babies, as they can transmit their infection to their child through breast milk.

A Cesarean is done during childbirth, as it is likely for the child to get infected through the mother's blood contact.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS?

HIV does not have any definite symptoms.The symptoms can differ from person to person.

The symptoms also depend on which stage of infection the person is going through (point to be noted, if the infection is caught early, we can prevent the multiplication of virus in the body with the help of HIV medications)

HOW TO KNOW IF I HAVE HIV?

A simple blood test can determine if you have HIV. It is then essential to consult your doctor and confirm the diagnosis.

I HAVE HIV. WHAT DO I DO NOW?

There is nothing to worry about; once the HIV is confirmed, doctors start you on HIV treatment, which is an antiretroviral drug. Doctors usually check for a few key points before beginning the procedure like:

 Severity of symptoms

 If you have any infection

 Pregnancy

 Pregnancy-related complications

 CD4 count

CAN I PREVENT HIV?

There are HIV prevention measures that can be taken to be on the safer side. The measures are:

 Getting tested regularly (at least once a year)

 Usage of condoms during intercourse

 PrEP (PrEP is a drug given to given to HIV negative patients as prevention measure)

WHERE CAN I GET TESTED?

Yes4Me provides all the information regarding the test, symptoms. Not only that, but they also offer doctors who also suggest you where to treat the virus, along with counseling you about every step, what measures can be taken, how to avoid complications and every doubt you might have about HIV treatment in India.

I hope this answers any questions you might have about HIV or HIV testing.

One additional point I would like to add is that people who have HIV need a lot of moral support. HIV cannot spread by hugging or kissing (unless there are blisters in the mouth of the infected individual). So, hug those people.
