Question

What are your feelings and opinions about people living with AIDS?

Expert Solution

Step 1

AIDS ( acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) is a communicable disease caused by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). These viruses attack the host immune system and make the host immunodeficient by killing their CD4+ T cells so that they cannot effectively produce antibodies against antigens.

Step 2

Yes , AIDS is a communicable disease but it doesn't mean that it spread by touch or we can't talk with the infected person as a health care provider. These types of perceptions are totally wrong.

We must know mode of transmission for HIV infection:

Shared contaminated needles with the infected person
Sharing syringes and other injecting equipment
Mother to foetus during pregnancy
Intimate relationships with the infected partner, unprotected sex
From broken skin, wound , mucous membrane of infected person to healthy person's broken skin, wound .
Infected blood transfusion
