Universal voluntary screening for young people and adults for HIV, a virus affecting the immune system which eventually causes AIDS, has been backed by high profile groups in the US, including the United States Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF), an independent group of national experts who provide advice and recommendations to improve the health of Americans.
Previously we were using HIV /AIDS sreening for only hiv risk group like MSM,FSW,COMERICAL SEX WORKERS,PT SUFFERING FROM STDs,truck Drivers,Migratory Workers etc and it also included every Blood Transfusion and antenatal mother at Antenatal Clinic in country like India and abroad but as NOW THEME OF HIV INFECTION IS ZERO INFECTION THE WE HAVE TO SCREEN EVERY BODY AS TO DETECT THIS INFECTION AT EARLY STAGE AND TREAT HIM IMMEDIATELY SO THAT CONDITION NEVER WORSENS,MORE COUNSELLING OF THESE PATIENTS FOR FURTHER AWARENESS REGARDING HIV SO THAT OPPURTUNISTIC INFECTION NEVER HAPPENS.
The recommendation includes the desire that universal screening is done with correct notice of the impact a positive or negative result may have, while patients can ‘opt out’ of the process before being tested due to the sensitive nature of potential outcomes. This unusual opting out method as opposed to an opting in process of screening is very different from previously drawn out processes of counselling and testing, now seen as a barrier by many in the US towards a suitably modern screening approach towards a less stigmatised HIV illness.
Benefits of HIV screening
Public encouragement of widespread screening for HIV is now seen as a priority in order to identify those infected by the disease yet to experience symptoms, which may not appear for many years, therefore increasing risk of spreading the virus unknowingly. Because of recent advances in effective treatment of the condition, it’s becoming increasingly vital to capture the disease in its early stages, improving both long-term personal health and the safety of others.

A commonly-used HIV drug has been shown to kill-off the human papilloma virus (HPV) that leads to cervical cancer in a clinical trial led by The University of Manchester with Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) in Nairobi.Drs Ian and Lynne Hampson, from the University’s Institute of Cancer Sciences and Dr Innocent Orora Maranga, consultant in obstetrics and gynaecology at KNH in Nairobi examined Kenyan women diagnosed with HPV positive early stage cervical cancer who were treated with the antiviral HIV drug lopinavir in Kenya.
The study looked at 40 women with both high and low-grade pre-cancerous disease of the cervix and the antiviral drug, normally used orally to treat HIV, was self-applied directly to the cervix as a pessary.The results, due to be presented at two international scientific conferences later this month and next, showed a high proportion of women diagnosed with HPV positive high-grade disease returned to normal following a short course of the new treatment.
The 40 women, who were all HPV positive with either high-grade, borderline or low-grade disease, were treated with one capsule of the antiviral drug twice a day for 2 weeks. Repeat cervical smears showed a marked improvement within one month of the treatment although after three months, there was a definite response. Out of 23 women initially diagnosed with high-grade disease, 19 (82.6%) had returned to normal and two now had low-grade disease giving an overall positive response in 91.2 per cent of those treated. Furthermore the 17 women initially diagnosed with borderline or low-grade disease also showed similar improvement.
Cervical cancer is caused by infection with human papilloma virus (HPV) and is more than five times more prevalent in East Africa than the UK. In many developing countries, HPV-related cervical cancer is still one of the most common women’s cancers accounting for approximately 290,000 deaths per year worldwide. The same virus also causes a significant proportion of cancers of the mouth and throat in both men and women and this disease is showing a large increase in developed countries, such as the UK, where it is now more than twice as common as cervical cancer.
Dr Lynne Hampson said: “Current HPV Vaccines are prophylactics aimed at preventing the disease rather than curing or treating symptoms. Other than surgery, as yet there is no effective treatment for either HPV infection or the pre-cancerous lesion it causes which is why these results are so exciting.“Further work is needed but it looks as though this might be a potential treatment to stop early stage cervical cancer caused by HPV.”
On a global scale HPV is the most common sexually transmitted disease. Although in the developed world vaccination programmes against HPV are well underway, these are not effective in women already infected with the virus. The current vaccines do not protect against all types of HPV and they are expensive, which can limit their use in countries with low resources.
The researchers believe their findings offer a potential cheap and preferably self-administered treatment that could eliminate early-stage HPV infections before these have developed into cancers would therefore have distinct health advantages. Approximately 300,000 women are dying from cervical cancer per annum which is equivalent to 800 per day, one every two minutes mostly in low resource settings.

A particular combination of multivitamins along with selenium slows HIV disease progression among those who are treatment naive and have a CD4 count above 350, aidsmap reports. Publishing their findings in the Journal of the American Medical Lab Technician Associasion
tion, researchers conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 878 treatment-naive people in Botswana between 2004 and 2009.
The median CD4 count among the participants was 420 at the beginning of the study; one in three of them had CD4s above 500. All were asymptomatic, had HIV-1 subtype C and had a normal body weight.
The participants were randomized to four groups to take different daily regimens over a 24-month period. One took a placebo. The second took daily multivitamins (B vitamins and vitamins C and E). The third took just selenium. And the last took the multivitamins and selenium.
Those who took just the multivitamins or who took them along with selenium were significantly less likely to have their CD4s drop below 250. Taking both the multivitamins and selenium lowered the risk of CD4s falling below 350.
There were no adverse side effects. Ninety percent of the participants adhered very well to the regimen, taking at least 96 percent of their doses.

Drug abuse and addiction have been linked with HIV/AIDS since the beginning of the epidemic. Although injection drug use is well known in this regard, the role that non-injection drug abuse plays in the spread of HIV is less recognized. This is partly due to the addictive and intoxicating effects of many drugs, which can alter judgment and inhibition and lead people to engage in impulsive and unsafe behaviors.
Injection drug use. People typically associate drug abuse and HIV/AIDS with injection drug use and needle sharing. When injection drug users share "equipment"-such as needles, syringes, and other drug injection paraphernalia-HIV can be transmitted between users. Other infections-such as hepatitis C-can also be spread this way. Hepatitis C can cause liver disease and permanent liver damage.
Poor judgment and risky behavior. Drug abuse by any route (not just injection) can put a person at risk for getting HIV. Drug and alcohol intoxication affect judgment and can lead to unsafe sexual practices, which put people at risk for getting HIV or transmitting it to someone else.
Biological effects of drugs. Drug abuse and addiction can affect a person's overall health, thereby altering susceptibility to HIV and progression of AIDS. Drugs of abuse and HIV both affect the brain. Research has shown that HIV causes greater injury to cells in the brain and cognitive impairment among methamphetamine abusers than among HIV patients who do not abuse drugs. In animal studies, methamphetamine has been shown to increase the amount of HIV in brain cells[*].
Drug abuse treatment. Since the late 1980s, research has shown that treating drug abuse is an effective way to prevent the spread of HIV. Drug abusers in treatment stop or reduce their drug use and related risk behaviors, including drug injection and unsafe sexual practices. Drug treatment programs also serve an important role in providing current information on HIV/AIDS and related diseases, counseling and testing services, and referrals for medical and social services.

HIV is a complex disease that continues to take its toll around the world. For those living with the disease, understanding it is key to staying healthy. For those of us who aren't infected, an important key to staying that way is to understand how the disease spreads from person to person. This feature presents ten facts about HIV that everyone should know.
1. The Biology of HIV
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV); the epidemic of the 20th Century. But what exactly is HIV and what does it do to our bodies? Understanding HIV could mean the difference between being infected or not infected; the difference between being healthy and being sick.
2. HIV Transmission - How Does it Happen?
In the beginning, people believed HIV was limited to one group of people: gay men. Obviously we now know that isn't true at all. We know that anyone can be infected with HIV if precautions are not taken. But in order to know which precautions to take, we must know how HIV is spread from person to person.
3. Who Can Get Infected with HIV?
The simple answer to this question is: anyone can get infected with HIV if they're exposed to it. People from all races, ethnicities, genders, and sexual orientations can get the virus. Young, old, teens, babies, married and single; in short, we are all at risk if we don't take the proper precautions. How do people get infected? Among other ways, babies born to HIV-infected women can, anyone who has sex with an infected person can, people who share needles with an infected person can, or someone who's received a transfusion from an un-screened blood supply can.
4. People are Still Dying from HIV and AIDS
In the developed countries of the world, great strides have been made, and as a result fewer people are dying of HIV-related illnesses. However, in some parts of the world; in countries where resources for education, prevention, and treatment are limited, people are still dying. These numbers show just how many.
5. People are Living - Thanks to HIV Medications
People are living near-normal life spans despite being infected with HIV. Over the years, medications have come and gone; being in and out of favor or replaced by newer, more effective and easier-to-take combinations. With these meds, people are living long, healthy lives. Take a look at the current list of HIV drugs available.
6. PEPFAR is Helping People Around the World Live with HIV
The President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) is what some believe to be President George W. Bush's most worthwhile accomplishment as President. The funding provided by PEPFAR has arguably saved millions of lives around the world. Let's get the lowdown on PEPFAR.OBAMA has further added to it free insurance for HIV DETECTION AND TREATMENT OF HIV AND ITS OPPURTUNISTIC INFECTIONS.
7. Breastfeeding and HIV Just Don't Mix
The benefits of breastfeeding are undisputed, but unfortunately women who are living with HIV should not breastfeed; the risk to their babies is just too high. For some women, though, there is no choice. Without clean water or resources for baby formula, breast feeding is the only option; a fact that has contributed to the HIV problem in places like Sub-Sahara Africa. Click through to read why breastfeeding with HIV is so risky.
8. Mother-to-Baby Transmission Can Be Avoided
HIV transmission from mother to unborn child is relatively common if steps aren't taken to decrease that risk. In fact, without proper prenatal and postnatal care of mother and baby, the infection rate is about 1 in 4. Luckily, there are steps that can be taken to reduce the risk of HIV transmission during pregnancy dramatically.
9. HIV and Tuberculosis - A Deadly Combination
Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease that is spread from person to person through the air, and it is particularly dangerous for people infected with HIV. Tuberculosis and HIV is a deadly combination. In fact, worldwide TB is the leading cause of death among people infected with HIV. Find out more about why TB is so deadly; especially when combined with HIV.
10. Great News - HIV Can Be Prevented!
The correct and consistent use of latex condoms during sexual intercourse- vaginal, anal, or oral-can greatly reduce a person's risk of acquiring or transmitting most STDs, including HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, trichomonas, human papilloma virus infection (HPV), and hepatitis B.
