HIV patients could not be detected by " Naked Eyes " ?
HIV happens in 1. men , women or ladyman 2. from newborn to old man as long as they exposed to risky behaviours In Malaysia , according to age pattern , > 80% of HIV patients fall between 20 - 49 year-old . I am within this at risk age group |
To explain this,
HIV invades our body via sexual , transplacental or intarvenous route .
Once it settles in our body , it will start destroying our immune system gradually over 5 - 10 years .
But in some people who practice healthy lifestyle and no further infusion of new viruses via high risk behaviour , they may live up to 15 years without treatment .
During the first 5 - 10 years of life , the patient's physically can be normal until their immune is too weak to handle the germs ( endogenous / exogenous ) that live in hormony in normal people .
But once their immune drops to less than 30% , a weak germ can kill you .
During the early phase , we can diagnose them only by blood testing for either the HIV virus or antibody against the HIV virus .
BRING HOME MESSAGE
HIV CAN'T BE DETECTED BY NAKED EYES UNTIL LATER PHASE .
BUT THEY ARE INFECTIOUS EVEN THOUGH THEY LOOK HEALTHY .
ONLY METHOD TO FIND OUT YOUR HIV STATUS IS BY HIV BLOOD TESTING .
HENCE , PLEASE GO FOR HIV TESTING AND DON'T STIGMATIZE THE HIV TEST
