In the United States each year, up to around 50,000 people are infected with HIV.

HIV / AIDS came to light in the 1980s, since that's a lot of misconceptions about the disease were transferred from ear to ear. Nowadays, HIV prevention, can be found easily about the diagnosis and treatment rules, however, still spreading false information about this disease. Unfortunately, this false information increases the risk of HIV infection. This article related to HIV/AIDS we will try to correct some of the wrong information.

1) Myth : being infected with HIV means AIDS.

Fact: diagnosis of HIV AIDS is not a sign of always. AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency syndrome) is an advanced state of HIV infection. In the initial stages of HIV infection is diagnosed and appropriate treatment is applied, is suppressed and the transition to the last phase of the infection is prevented. The main factor in the early infection progressed to AIDS.

2) Myth: Mosquitoes can spread HIV infection.

Fact: this myth stems from the fact that HIV is transmitted by blood. HIV is a blood borne infection, although an HIV-infected person bites a healthy person when the mosquito bites in the aftermath of that does not mean that the infection will spread.

Although this theory may seem logical, extensive research has shown that whether infected by mosquito bites HIV. Rather when bitten by a mosquito or any insect, the mosquito only sucks his own blood, the victim's body that the victim's blood-proof. In terms of being more specific, Mosquito, mouth parts, needle-like structure. So the person who is bitten by a mosquito is exposed to the saliva of the Mosquito is simply the body of the blood.

The virus is also present in the body of the mosquito, even though they can live for a long time. The reason for this is the lack of the mosquito, the virus that will provide the division of cells. So, even if exposed to the virus and the mosquito, the virus undergoes digestion in Mosquito no one gets hurt.

Now the situation with proper care and treatment can be effectively managed. New medications that have been developed for the treatment of HIV has greatly increased the duration of life of patients.

5) Myth: newly produced thanks to the drugs, HIV is no longer a trivial disease.

Fact: How HIV’ s a death sentence if it is wrong to think that the new HIV drugs’ s no longer trivial to think that a disease is incorrect. New drugs can help to improve the life of patients, although we can't forget that this is a lifelong treatment. Lifelong treatment may be a source of major concern of various serious side effects. Each missed medication dosage also increases the chance of becoming ineffective treatment. There is a greater risk of the virus resistance to drugs. Yes, there have been important developments in medicine, but these are unsafe for sexual relations it shouldn't be an excuse, you must always be protected.

6) Myth: HIV-infected persons immediately they show signs of illness.

Fact: a person may appear to be healthy in spite of HIV infection risk of infection for many years. Studies of HIV-infected individuals in treating the symptoms of the disease has shown that it can take up to 10 years. Also the symptoms of HIV a blood test to establish a diagnosis exclude the diagnosis therefore is required.
