HIV Rehabilitation

How to achieve other forms of HIV prevention should be evaluated on the treatment of HIV prevention for their effectiveness, the resources to implement the plan, funds to support the program, and the target group. With antiretroviral therapy for HIV can cause serious side effects and can lead to resistance, if not taken as prescribed. Thus, whereas showed a Swiss study in 2008 that, if an anti-retroviral therapy to avoid an HIV-positive person transmitting the virus to their HIV-negative partner followed, it is completely positive person, if they want to take the treatment.

The situation described above is only possible if the person is free of HIV and STD undetectable viral loads while taking antiretroviral therapy for HIV prevention. This became clear when the Swiss statement was published, because it has become clear that there is a correlation between viral load and HIV transmission. There is a new approach of the proponents of ending the AIDS pandemic, to test and then treat the areas of general epidemic.

How does it work “test and treat” strategy? Be tested according to individuals severely affected by HIV sites for the virus, they should be treated immediately, if diagnosed positive if their systems were damaged. This is the method of choice for the treatment of HIV prevention, which will last until 2015. Is it effective? The virus can not be detected until the person is infected with HIV for up to three months had. A person can get a false negative during this period, which means that the test reads negative, even if they are infected. It is ironic that in this phase at the beginning of the condition of a person with HIV is highly infectious. This is the biggest mistake in the effectiveness of HIV prevention.

How people are affected by the treatment? Once an infected person begins antiretroviral treatment, they must stop for the rest of their lives to drug resistance. The long-term side effects of this treatment as HIV prevention are not yet known. These disadvantages are the main reasons why antiretroviral therapy only for those who already have recommended HIV. To HIV treatment, prevention is really feasible? While it is impossible for all people infected with HIV in the world because people have no access to HIV testing and stigma, with which to identify associated barriers already tested for HIV in the attack.
