Some patients progress rapidly (4 yrs) to AIDS following primary HIV infection and are called as Rapid Progressors. Some studies report that disease progression is more rapid in Africa. On the other hand Long Term Non-Progressors show no sign of the disease for over 12 years and remain asymptomatic. The common reasons could be that the virus that infects the individual could be replicating inefficiently or that the patient has a strong immune system. Those whose clinical and laboratory parameters remain stable over long periods of time but experience signs of progression are termed as Long Term Survivors (LTS). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has released findings that genes influence susceptibility to HIV infection and progression to AIDS. HIV enters cells through an interaction with both CD4 and a chemokine receptor (CCR5 and CCR2). It was found that it is possible that a person with the CCR5-?32 receptor gene will not be infected with HIV. |

Posted on: 11/03/2009 =1. 2005 there were 5 stages. 2006 4 stages.now you say 3 stages AIDS......May i say just 2, asymptom and symptom is enuf ?.[in 2 stage TB and PGL are there !] 2.= Even the name alters, HIV > AIDS > HIV/AIDS> now AIDS !! >>>.....We field workers are simple medicos.Guide us properly. 3=.Why is pre-counseling mandatory, when an person comes just to know if his blood shows some wrong or not, do the test at once and tell him,simple. Post-test yes IS helpful, if he wishes. 4.Clinical assessment is enuf. No, wait for the CD4. Dont wait for the CD4. start Rx asap. no, wait till some synptom shows./// you see how we are led / dazed ?// Recently i had a case with CD4 1200 till death, but downhill sinking for 8 months, and the HAART Center refuses, goes by the set guidelines, and not by the clinical deterioration !!!

Posted on: 11/03/2009 maartsi,you are quite right. BUT ! HIV morphs/mutates everynow and then.research findings keep on cropping up to confuse or help. Simple person GOD has no universal name, and half the diseases are not yet fully understood, example Diabetes Mellitus course and complications.so we live and let live amidst all the conflicts. |
