Intro to blood borne diseases and HIV:
Hello everyone! :) This blog is specially created for our medical biochemistry project and we have chosen to research on blood borne diseases (particularly HIV). This blog will contain related pictures,videos and posts which will give you a better understanding on HIV. Right now, we would like to give you a brief introduction on blood borne diseases as well as the blood borne disease that we are focusing on, HIV.
Bloodborne pathogens are microorganisms like viruses or bacteria which are carried in human blood and other body fluids such as amniotic fluid and semen. Bloodborne diseases are diseases that occur due to exposure to bloodborne pathogens which can occur directly, (e.g when infected blood of affected individual is splashed on the mucous membranes of a susceptible individual) or indirectly (e.g through the sharing of contaminated needles). Common bloodborne pathogens include Hepatitis B (HBV), Hepatitis C (HCV) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
As mentioned earlier, this blog and its subsequent posts will be particularly focused on the bloodborne disease, HIV and hence we would like to provide you with a brief introduction on HIV now. So what exactly is HIV? Well, HIV is a type of lentivirus that affects specific cells of the immune system and will eventually destroy the body’s ability to fight off infections and diseases. The human body is unable to get rid of the HIV virus and hence once you contact HIV, the virus will stay with you for life. Up till date, there is still no official cure for HIV however there are certain medications that can be taken to prevent the spread of the virus within the body.
Alright guys, this is nearing the end of our very first post. We do hope that you now have a better understanding towards bloodborne diseases and a brief understanding on HIV. Do stay tuned for more interesting upcoming posts where more in depth information will be shared on HIV.

Till then,

How is HIV spread?
ReplyDeleteHi Si yuan, thank you for the comment. HIV is being spread through sharing of infected/contaminated needles,unprotected sexual intercourse with an infected HIV partner and basically through any form of open direct contact with the HIV virus (via mucous membranes and open wounds)
DeleteHow about when you share saliva? Like you drink from a cup they've been drinking or something?
ReplyDeleteThank you for the comment! Nope, HIV cannot be transmitted through saliva since it is not considered as a body fluid. Body fluid ( e.g blood,semen) Hope the answer is helpful:)
DeleteI saw the post that says taking antiretroviral drugs within 72 hours may reduces the chance to get HIV up to 80%. But how you know if you are exposed to HIV exposure ?
ReplyDeleteWell when you are exposed to HIV initially, you would experience certain flu like symptoms for instance, fever, sores, headache and a generally feeling of being unwell. Also, if you have been in proximity to a person who is susceptible to HIV or a person whom you know has HIV, then it is best you have yourself checked for HIV. Hope that helps :)

ReplyDeleteI’m here to testify about what Dr James did for me. I have been suffering from (GENITAL HERPES VIRUS) disease for the past 4 years and had constant pain and itching, especially in my private part. During the first year, I had faith in God that i would be cured someday.This disease started circulating all over my body and I have been taking treatment from my doctor, few weeks ago I came across a testimony of Holly Woodgate, on the internet testifying about a Man called Dr James on how he cured her from 7 years HSV 2. And she also gave the email address of this man, advising anybody to contact him for help on any kind of diseases that he would be of help, so I emailed him telling him about my (HSV 2) he told me not to worry that I was going to be cured!! Well, I never doubted him. I have faith he can cure me too,, Dr James prepared and sent me Healing Oil, Soap, roots and herbs which I took. In the first one week, I started experiencing changes all over me, after four weeks of using his Roots/ Herbs, Oil and Soap, I was totally cured. no more itching , pain on me anymore as Dr James assured me. After some time I went to my doctor to do another test. the result came out negative. So friends my advice is if you have such disease or know anyone who suffers from it or any other disease like HPV, HBV, HIV, ALS, HBP, CANCER etc. you can contact Dr James for help via drjamesherbalmix@gamil.com or whatsapp +2348152855846
ReplyDeleteI'm here to give my testimony how I was cured from HIV, I contacted my HIV via blade. A friend of my use blade to peel of her finger nails and drop it where she use it, so after she has left i did know what came unto me i looked at my nails, my nails were very long and I took the blade which she just used on her own nails to cut of my finger nails, as i was maintaining my names, i mistakenly injured myself. I did even bother about it, so when I got to the hospital the next week when i was ill the doctor told me that I am HIV positive, i wondered where did i got it from so i remembered how I use my friend blade to cut off my hand so i feel so sad in my heart to the extent that i don’t even know what to do, so one day i was passing through the internet i met a testimony of a lady that all talk about how she was cured by a doctor called DR Imoloa so i quickly emailed the doctor and he also replied to me and told me the requirements which i will provide and I do according to his command, he prepare a herbal medicine for me which I took.
