Oral sex and risk-AIDS

What is the relationship? - You ask. It turns out that quite a! At least so believe scientists from UCLA Dental Institute (USA). They held a special laboratory study and its results published in the Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes at the beginning of December 2004.
The purpose of the experimental work was to study the influence of alcohol on the susceptibility of culture cells, mucous membrane lining of the mouth, to the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIVE). To do so from the mucosa of the oral cavity of HIVE patients uninfected cells kept for 10 minutes at 4% ethanol (similar to the content of alcohol in the most popular among Americans alcoholic beverages - beer) and then subjected to HIVE. It turned out that alcohol-treated epithelial cells of mucous membrane of the mouth were 3-6 times more susceptible to HIVE than cells that are not affected by alcohol.
It is these results have allowed the head of the study, Dr. June-wing Ghent concluded that consumption of alcohol, even in traditional American and previously considered to be "harmless" concentration, significantly increases the risk of HIVE infection with oral sex.
The originality of this pilot study is that researchers tried to find the specific mechanism of HIVE infection in modern society, in which oral sex "heated" Alcohol has long been no surprise.

The problem of AIDS once again seen by scientists

Since the detection of the world's first AIDS patient in 1981 in the scientific world, not rage disputes over how the same experience this disease. At one time in the post-Soviet space was quite popular version, that AIDS arose in the laboratories of American scientists who worked on the order of the CIA and the Pentagon. Subsequently, it turned out that this myth was artificially born purely for political reasons. It should be noted that the U.S. has never promoted version of that virus was developed by Russian scientists on whose orders or, as the basic version of the emergence of AIDS was recognized as the one on which this horrible disease we inherited a legacy of monkeys.
Currently known two types of AIDS virus. It is believed that one goes from green monkeys, and another - from anthropoid apes are likely orangutan. As of today in the scientific world leads people first became infected by a virus, then mutated into AIDS in 40-50th of the last century in countries such as Cameroon, Equatorial Guiana, Congo and the Central African Republic, where local residents have traditionally hunted on the monkeys and use their meat for food.
Recently, however, in the scientific world there were reports that questioned the accepted version of the emergence of AIDS. For example, with a rather exotic hypothesis made in the press group of scientists from the University of Melbourne. In their view, the AIDS virus came to Europe as a result of transfers aging rich testicles infected African chimpanzees. Such transplants with a view to rejuvenating practiced in France, Switzerland and Portugal.
Less exotic, but a scientific hypothesis put forward by the International Conference on Virology in Sydney, American specialists. They reported that the AIDS virus has been detected in the frozen tissues of people who died more than 30 years ago in the hospital of SST. Louis. They confidently stated that a comparative study of the virus 30 years ago and the current forms, can say that the virus mutated in the human body long before the outbreak of the disease in Africa, perhaps for hundreds of years. This discovery calls into question the old theory of the origin of the virus from African monkeys. Who knows, maybe after some time, scientists will prove that AIDS infection is much older than the accepted thinking, and that, for example, the dinosaurs became extinct it was from AIDS.

AIDS and human

One of the biggest shocks of our time is the emergence and rapid spread of "disease Century" - AIDS. Today the name of this virus is not gone from the pages of newspapers, TV and sound with radios: in our country faced the problem of disposable syringes, make demands polls checking with AIDS, set up various funds to fight the virus and allocated huge sums of money to inspect and search medications. In other countries made similar studies, and so far the AIDS virus studied very well, but a vaccine against it could not be found. Recently, some Western scientists studying AIDS (human immunodeficiency virus), are not so much finding a vaccine, but rather explore the causes of the devastating effects of the virus in the human immune system. The properties of human blood, including the features available on individual species and racial groups. Perhaps as a result of these studies will find answers to the concerns of our questions: - Why only a small fraction of infected fall ill and die? - How are based on racial origin DIG sick? - Why did the bulk of sick and the dead are in Africa and the USA? This raises another, at first sight paradoxical, but a very important question: Is AIDS a real danger to our people?
The South African weekly "Patriot" reports that some data from several studies of Western scholars, suggesting that AIDS is acting strictly selective and destroys the immune system, resulting in the deaths of only those people whose veins runs the blood type of black people. That is, AIDS is a danger only to blacks, mulatto, Jews and Roma representatives whites kinds of people can be carriers of AIDS, but never ill if their immune system is not weakened by outside influences (drug addiction, alcoholism, homosexuality, etc.). This hypothesis is based on the fact that the blood of black and white type of people varies greatly in their qualities of immunological and biochemical indicators. When you mix black and white type of people (even through the centuries and generations) remains black blood biochemical indicators. This was demonstrated as far back as 1925 by soviet scientists who discovered the chemical reaction that gives the opportunity to find racial differences in blood. During the experiment, they took the blood of Russians (type of white people) and Jewish blood (black and white hybrid), produced from each response and got different results. This reaction identified Jews in 91.7% of all cases, that is enough for scientific and forensic evidence. All this allows to argue about the biochemical difference between Russian and Jewish blood. On the racial specificity of certain diseases, wrote in the 20's of the famous Soviet scientist BAN Peevishness (in his works dealt with, in particular malaria). Scientific studies have refuted demand proverb - "the blood of all the same - red. Blood is different for different types of people.
Our blood, the blood of white people, not such as the blood of blacks, mulatto and Jews. And should the hypothesis is confirmed, we can not be afraid of AIDS and boldly argued: AIDS is not dangerous white PEOPLE! Examples of indirectly supporting this hypothesis, many of them. Take the least sensational story with children, infected in children's hospitals city Alistair. The newspapers he predicted quick death, demanding placed in isolation. Who knows how much emotional pain experienced mother, listening to tales of mortal danger to their children and feeling ill of others? But time has passed, children grows up, strengthened and now his joyous laughter destroys the myth about AIDS. Nominated hypothesis Western researchers claimed: "danger to our health is not" But under the influence of public relations, many color, not knowing about these studies are afraid of AIDS.

Co-infection of HIV and hepatitis C

The term co-infection is used when a person is sick two or more diseases simultaneously.Because the way of contracting HIV and hepatitis C (HCV) are the same, many infected with both HIV and HCV.

It is understandable that there are two diseases simultaneously greatly complicate your task of maintaining their health. HIV infection worsens hepatitis C, because the liver damage occurs quickly. It is therefore very important that your doctor understand how HIV and HCV affect your health. Some patients are observed simultaneously with a specialist in liver diseases and HIV doctors, who together make every effort to maintain the health of the patient. Because HIV medicines are processed in the liver, it is very important to regularly monitor its condition and to prevent damage by these drugs.If tests show that the liver responds poorly to HIV medicines, your doctor may appoint another drug.

It is important to remember following:

Everyone infected with HIV should take the test at GHS.

The condition of the liver must be constantly monitored, as well as drugs for HIV can damage the liver.

As HIV and HCV treatable, so talk with your doctor possible treatment for you.

Vaccinated against hepatitis A and B, if before that you were not infected.

Do not flap, and try as much as possible to learn about HIV and HCV, and work together with your doctor to maintain their own health.

The interaction of HIV with other body cells

In addition to red blood cell reservoir of the virus may be endothelial cells of blood and lymph vessels, epithelial cells and related tissues, glacial cells of the nervous system and nerve cells. Routine AIDS psychosis and atrophy of the brain evolved precisely because of the ability of the virus to infect the central nervous system. The cells outside the vascular bed is not always a surface receptor proteins to the virus, which does not allow him adsorbed and penetrate the cell directly, but infection can occur if the merger with infected CD4-cells and macrophages.

Penetrating through the blood-brain barrier, the virus causes in the brain abnormal reproduction of glial cells surrounding the neurons, as well as the destruction occurring as a result of white matter brain development of primary brain lymphoma, and atrophy of certain nerves (vision in the first place).

The defeat of the nervous system indicated a third of AIDS patients and is manifested in four main clinical forms:

Brain abscesses (progressive nodal encephalopathy, streptococci meningitis, sub acute encephalitis may microdensitometer etiology.)

Swelling of the brain, such as primary and secondary brain lymphoma;

Vascular brain injury (brain hemorrhages) and heart (endocrinologist antibacterial thrombotic);

Focal brain lesions shells, characterized by self-meningitis.

HIV and pregnancy

HIV-positive women who want to become pregnant HIV-negative men

During unprotected sex, there is little risk of infection with a male partner. This can be avoided if a woman uses a set of self-insemination. In this simple procedure, a woman inseminate himself during ovulation her partner sperm collected in a sterile jar. Most hospitals and organizations on women's health can offer advice and equipment.

HIV-negative women wishing to become pregnant HIV-positive men

Child transmission occurs when the virus is transmitted from an infected mother to child in outer, during birth or breast-feeding. If the father is HIV-positive, and my mother - no, the child will not be directly infected through the paternal sperm. If a woman is infected at the time of conception, there is a significant risk of transmission to the child because the viral load of women during interconversion is likely to be high. While there cases where women become pregnant of HIV-positive men and not infected, there is no reliable information to explain why this was possible.

Some couples wishing to conceive a child may try to minimize the risk of infection with women, engaging in unprotected sex only when the chances of getting pregnant are high, and the possibility of HIV infection is low. It happens during ovulation in women, or when the viral load her partner was not determined. However, the theory that during this period the risk of HIV transmission is reduced, has not yet been proved.

Danger Is kissing with HIV

Does this mean that you need to stop kissing? Of course not. Kisses - an important part of sensual pleasures, and most people are not ready to relinquish them. But as far as dangerous? Is there a real risk of infection with the kiss? Let us look at the statistics. Joined studied in detail and only one case where the contamination occurred ... No, not with the kiss, but with bite. In doing so, the bite was to the blood and mouth bites were also visible blood. Thus, in the unanimous opinion of specialists Center for disease control USA - one of the most respected institutions in the world sanitary-and-epidemiological institution - the contamination occurred not through saliva and blood.

In saliva the virus is present in very low concentrations, insufficient for infection. Hundreds of thousands of registered cases of HIV transmission, in which was installed with an accuracy of the source of infection. If the saliva was a real risk, among those hundreds of thousands would be a significant proportion of people with HIV when people cough, sneeze, kiss. But 15 years of experience epidemiologists showed that the risk of HIV infection is virtually non-existent. Saliva can be dangerous only if it is visible blood.

This suggests two important conclusions. The first - a purely practical: if the lips and mouth you do not damage kissed to health. If you have cracks ulcers or bleeding gums, they should be treated, but have not yet been held - not kiss " suction" in the mouth and be careful with oral sex. You can not fear to share tender "shallow" kiss, fondle his lips and tongue neck, chest, shoulders lover (and let let your imagination).

The second conclusion was that the world people have very naivety desire to continue to live the way they lived before, before the AIDS epidemic. Assuming that can be infected with anything - through kissing, mosquito bites, door handle - then it will turn out that all doomed and there is no need to change their own behavior. Much easier to periodically run into hysteria, while continuing to rely on the maybe, than soberly recognize that risk can be significantly reduced.
