Needles with AIDS in public areas

One of the most dangerous viruses on the planet for humans is the human immunodeficiency virus. Once it enters the body, to conduct a full recovery of the body impossible. The original pathogen attacks the immune system. It should be noted that HIV lives and reproduces only in humans, i.e., transmission only occurs from infected to healthy person through blood or during sexual intercourse.

HIV infection

HIV any person under certain circumstances. The infection can pass in metro or other public areas where to control the contact with unfamiliar people is quite difficult. After the infection enters the body most people are not watching the bright symptoms. Only after several weeks or even months infected begins to observe the symptoms peculiar to the propagation of the infection in the body. Moreover, we note the following symptoms:

  1. In many cases, infected confuse flu symptoms with HIV as at the initial stage of development of considered infection symptoms are similar.
  2. For starters significantly increased body temperature, as the immune system for the first time, still struggling with the virus. You may also notice rashes on the body, diarrhea, significantly increase in size the lymph nodes.
  3. After the first symptoms that may accompany a patient for several days or weeks in different degrees of severity of symptoms, they pass. Typically, this is caused by the decline of immunity, that is, the body ceases to fight the virus.
  4. For several years the infected may not be aware that his immune system continues to fight the virus. Prominent symptoms are no more, but in the blood there are a large number of antibodies. At once after infection and the first symptoms of the virus can be transmitted, as a rule, suffer partners during unprotected sex.

You should consider the point that from the moment of HIV infection to AIDS may take about 10-12 years with proper treatment. While AIDS is the final stage of considering infection in the body. That is why you should separate the concept of HIV and AIDS.

The emergence of AIDS, infection

If initially the body gets HIV, the virus gradually destroy the immune system, making the body susceptible to other bacteria or microorganisms. At some point, when the immune system is almost lost, a person may suffer from infectious diseases that are not found in others. This group of diseases are called opportunistic.

About AIDS should be said in the case when the body is no longer able to fight off infections, even with proper treatment. You can call the following important points of this disease:

  1. AIDS is the last stage of HIV, not a separate disease.
  2. The modern problem of medicine itself does not show, as it is in the acquired immunodeficiency. In other words, all the terrible symptoms of AIDS are the symptoms acute symptoms of other infections.
  3. Problem called syndrome due to the fact that it manifests itself by several symptoms, the virus in the last stage has a complex effect on the body.
  4. Such as the immune system can only develop in the body, that is born with such health problems are not observed.

Summarizing the above information we can say that AIDS is a collection of infectious and other diseases that develop due to the complete lack of the body's immunity as a result of exposure to HIV and development. The infection transmitted through blood, sexual contact. Recently in the legislation of many countries imposed regulations which provide for the imposition of criminal liability on a person who has contracted HIV sexually or otherwise. In the case of the consideration of such bodies is proved by the fact that the infected decides to infect people intentionally, that is, before the entry into a sexual act he knew about the infection and did not warn the partner. This is due to the fact that getting the virus in the body leads to a significant deterioration in the quality of life, risk to health and life.

Injecting terrorism

Lately worldwide are registered cases of injecting terrorism. Such cases are of a General nature: unidentified people attacked others with needles in hands and threatened with HIV infection, or do it discreetly. Dangerous places include public crossings, subway and other public places, where there is a large crowd of people. Due to the fact that such a large density of people in a confined space accounts for only a fewrepresentatives of law enforcement, to react, they will not. If this society doesn't know how to behave in a similar situation as the infection can occur pretty quickly. Similar situations occur for the reason that many do not know if the needle AIDS in public places.In considering this, doctors say following:

  1. To get the needle in case of accidental or unprepared injection is possible, but the probability is quite small.
  2. Syringes without needles infected threat only with the introduction of any substance into the body.
  3. Such actions are in most cases associated with extortion or bitterness untrained people, who do not know how any infection in the body for destruction by the immune system.
  4. The present study shows that the probability of infection in case of accidental injection is only 0,03 – 0,3%. This is due to the fact that virus transmission occurs only when you hit the needle in the vein. If the needle has hit the vein, then the probability of infection of less than one percent.
  5. The chances that the virus can be transmitted depends on the amount of blood on the contaminated needle and the ambient temperature. An example is the fact that at high ambient temperature of infected blood is dangerous only for a few hours, as the virus does not die in the living body. However, when cool wet weather this period increases significantly.

  6. There are certain recommendations that relate to precautions after the injection. To begin to treat the injection site with alcohol, then proceed to the nearest clinic, where he will recommend further action.

The most dangerous places include the neck, arms, and other areas of the body where veins can be seen. Even when you desire to get into the vein and knowing where they are located does not significantly increase the probability of infection. The view that after exposure in a public place after a few days detect HIV – incorrect. The manifestation of antibodies to the virus in the blood goes from 3 to 9 months. Up to this point to conduct research on HIV.

Where did the virus

Another point when considering the question of infection through needle can be called that, as there were considered a virus. It is important to note that to obtain a contaminated needle, if the attacker does not have this virus in the body or he is not familiar with an infectious, almost impossible. Needle in all the centers, which have conducted studies on HIV and checking people, a blood transfusion must be disposed of.

On the origin of the virus in question is quite a lot of controversy, which is often based only on hypotheses. The first hypothesis was the assumption that the pathogen was transmitted to humans from chimpanzees when they bite. This assumption is unfounded – studies have shown that some animals have a rare virus, which has symptoms similar to the manifestation of AIDS in humans.

In the world community accepted that HIV came from Central Africa. According to some scientists, the virus has existed for many years, but due to the inaccessibility of this area, it began to spread to other continents only after increasing number of tourists.

The last assumption was that the virus appeared in the 50-ies as a result of errors during genetic work to create the polio vaccine. During the research and production of vaccine was used the liver of monkeys, which contained the previously mentioned rare virus. After the vaccine it was used for testing on the inhabitants of Central Africa.

Anyway we can say that HIV can only be transmitted from a sick to a healthy person through blood and sexual intercourse. Therefore, people who are trying to blackmail the visitors in public spaces infected by this dangerous virus, often bluffing. But do not forget about precaution, as after HIV infection to bring this virus from the body or convert it to an inactive stage cannot be. Recent studies on a vaccine against AIDS had not led to the expected result.

In conclusion, we note that the probability of infection from a needle at the hospital of cities is almost zero. It is likely only a few hundred shares of one percent of what the "human factor" will lead to the use of a syringe or needle. Therefore, you should pay attention to the fact that the doctor must open the needle syringe in the presence of the patient. Times more the probability of infection during unprotected intercourse.
