NOTE:
“ Well this is an important topic which
relates to AIDS/HIV (Human immunodeficiency)
This topic is going to take only
few minutes of yours but I hope it’ll provide some useful
information to you guys. So after reading it, do send it to your
other pals.”
Today I
went through an article of Dawn’s “the review” named AIDS/HIV.
We all hardly
know about this epidemic disease, so I thought to forward it to
all of my Internet mates. If you are in hurry just save it in
your computer and read it later but do read it. Please!
·
What is HIV /AIDS?
It
is a disease, which is just another curse. Its main cause is
having unsafe sex with more than one person.
·
How it spreads to others?
It
spreads by
ü
Having unprotected sex with a
partner already infected with AIDS
ü
Having one’s blood
into contact with HIV infected blood (by needles, syringes and
piercing guns)
HIV infected mother can pass the virus
onto their unborn babies during pregnancy.
One cannot get HIV from
kissing, hugging, drinking water from
same glass or working in the same office as someone infected with
HIV.
AIDS is the last stage of HIV.
If HIV virus is spotted at an early
enough stage, medication can be taken which can help to control
it, although there is no guarantee that HIV infected person will
not get AIDS. But the treatment for an AIDS patient is around 15
lakh rupees.
So… PREVENTION is definitely better
than cure.

PREVENTION:
The only way to save
oneself from HIV/AIDS is prevention:
ü
Using condoms when
having sex
ü
Using previously
unused syringes for vaccinations and drug use
ü
Covering cuts
(cruse) with bandages as soon as possible ,especially if playing
Sports.
ü
Using your own
blades when shaving
ü
Using your own tooth
brush
Studies indicate that 94% injections are administered using
already used equipments
which is a big cause of spreading of
HIV virus
Believe me, no one is safe from HIV .We can get it too.
As SEX and AIDS are taboo issues in
Pakistan so it’s hard for everyone to get correct and full
information related to it.
Mm .. next time be sure when your
visiting your barber(nayee) that he is using a new blade for
your shave .
·
WIDELY INFECTED PEOPLE IN PAKISTAN:
ü
Prostitutes
ü
IV-drug users
ü
Tuck drivers.
Due to ignorance people in
Pakistan attached with the fact that HIV was only sexually
transmitted but now I am sure, you know much more about AIDS.
Pakistan has low rate of HIV infected
persons, instead India has the largest rate of it.
So save your own self and others too by
just getting few outlines of it and by working on them. And in
the end let me tell you one more thing that if people of Pakistan
think that talking about AIDS is something taboo, so it’s a
social thing. The Quran talks about SEX, it talks about
Menstruation, but why are we hesitant? So it’s not religion that
stops them from talking about these things ,it’s cultural values.
