The pandemic will increase considerably within the few up coming years, if the appropriate education and strong planning would not be established. Massimo Ghhidinelli representative of WHO warned.

He delivered his comments at the presentation of the static, which how the upward trend was noticed by the regional AIDS experts in Hong Kong.

In Asia, that has the largest number of men, almost 10 million men have unsafe sex with each other, according to the WHO’s estimation.

The partial information from the Asia has clearly indicated that the HIV is the most widely spread infection among the gay and bisexual men, but, without the complete information, it’s hard to deduce any firm results, representative of WHO said.

Ghidinelli said the lesser use of condom in male-to-male intercourse is adding fuel in the spread of AIDS.

“The new generation of homo is practicing the sex with far less sufficient awareness and precautions as the older generation were taking,” Ghidinelli expressed his findings.

“The experts are agreed with the formation of regional task force to collect data on male-to-male transmission and entail procedures to fight the spreading diseases,” he said.

To diagnose HIV infection, you can use home HIV test kit for quick result without wasting any time instead of conventional ELISA and Western Blot methods to minimize the Window period and the risk of HIV transmission.

Symptoms

The unique symptoms of AIDS do not normally develop in person with healthy immunity. These symptoms of AIDS are some time also referred as opportunistic infections.

HIV infected patients have had their immune system weakened by virus and are highly prone to these opportunistic infections. Common symptoms are constant fevers, night sweating, swollen glands, weakness, and unusual weight loss.

Causes

AIDS has been ranked as 5th leading cause of death in the U.S. and three million people die due to this disease globally. 42 million people around the world are currently infected with this disease.

HIV has been found in saliva, tears, nervous system tissue and spinal fluid, blood, semen, pre-seminal fluid, vaginal fluid, and breast milk. However, only blood, semen, vaginal secretions, and breast milk generally transmits infection to others.

The virus can be transmitted through:

• Sexual contact — including vaginal, anal and oral sex
• From mother to its new born — a pregnant woman can transmit HIV to her fetus through blood circulation, or a nursing mother can transmit through lactation.
• Intravenous drug users who share needles
• People engaging in unprotected sex
• Sexual partners of those who participate in high-risk activities (such as anal sex)

Efforts to support breastfeeding, immunizations and eradication of malaria, have helped to cut down child death rate from 9.7 million to 9.2 in 2007 which was 12.7 million in 1990, the figures from the United Nations Children’s Fund showed.

“Since 1960, the global under-five mortality rate has declined more than 60 percent, and the new data shows the downward trend continues,” UNICEF Executive Director Ann Veneman said.

Situation is improving in Latin America and the Caribbean, Central and Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union and in parts of Asia where trend is moving downward, but deaths still high in sub-Saharan Africa where one out of seven children dies before age 5.

AIDS is still a chief killer of children in sub-Saharan Africa, though countries like Eritrea, Malawi, Mozambique, Niger and Ethiopia have made considerable progress in reducing mortality rates, UNICEF said.

“Sub-Saharan Africa now accounts for almost half of the 9.2 million deaths among children in this age group annually,” according to the UNICEF report.
World’s worst under-five mortality rate noted in Sierra Leone, 262 out of every 1,000 children dying before their fifth birthday. The rate in developed nations was 6 per 1,000.

“Recent data also indicate encouraging developments in many of the basic health interventions, such as early and exclusive breast feeding, measles immunization, Vitamin A supplementation, the use of insecticide-treated nets to prevent malaria, and prevention and treatment of AIDS,” Veneman said.

“These interventions are expected to result in further declines in child mortality over the coming years.”
