Spread of HIV Virus

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

HIV infection occurs when an individual moves to another a sufficient amount of virus. The virus is found mainly in people infected blood, semen, vaginal secretions and breast milk. Can be transmitted to others through wounds, punctures, sores in the skin, vaginal or anal mucosa mucosa.

So we know that the most common routes of transmission are:

  • The penetrative sex without a condom with infected people, both same and different sex.
  • Share syringes, needles and other instruments in the injecting drug use.
  • Pregnancy from an infected woman, the child may be born with HIV because the mother can pass to her child during pregnancy, childbirth or breastfeeding. The frequency of transmission of 1 in 3 or 4. Some of these HIV-positive babies are due solely to the mother’s antibodies and can become negative by 15 months. Those who do not become negative develop the disease of AIDS.
  • The serum derived transmission today is invaluable for the rigid health checks.

This is because the virus can become resistant to these drugs because this changing (mutating) every time they played (replicates), of course, those who have large amounts of virus have higher rates of replication (and resistance) and the prognosis is worse than in the case of having few viruses. He was also with the previous drugs was achieved on average by 10 or dividing by 50 the amount of virus in the blood, which, in someone who had. for example, 300,000 viruses per milliliter, (more…)
