HIV test may sound scary and stressful but the condition is treatable if early detection takes place. So it is important to get tested if you think you have been exposed. If your test result is positive then early detection and monitoring of HIV will help your physician determine whether the disease is making headway and when to start treatment.
Your doctor may recommend counseling before and after HIV testing. This is absolutely necessary since the news for an HIV positive status is extremely traumatic. This counseling is usually available at the hospital or clinic where you will be tested. This kind of counseling will make you strong enough to face the reality and also you will get to know that you are not alone to get affected from HIV. In this counseling session you need to discuss your fears regarding the test. You should learn to reduce the risk of becoming infected if you test is negative. You will be taught how you should keep yourself away from spreading HIV to others. You need to think about personal issues like how having HIV will affect you socially, professionally, emotionally, and financially. Once tested as HIV positive it is very important to know how you should stay healthy for a long period of time.
What is AIDS wasting syndrome? When after getting affected from AIDS you lose a minimum of 10% of your body weight specially muscles it is called AIDS wasting syndrome. There is a chance of suffering from diarrhea or extreme weakness or fever for more than 30 days. AIDS wasting syndrome is a less frequent symptom now than in the past and the credit for that goes to HAART. But AIDS wasting syndrome is still a significant threat.
Like this there are many unknown facts about AIDS which a person must know. Therefore ISHEID requests the entire world to come and join the AIDS 2012 Conference. To learn more about this AIDS 2012 and ISHEID you can visit the website of ISHEID.
