We answer all your qestions about Childhood HIV Disease. Question: I have a huge irrational fear of being HIV positive. Can anyone give me some feedback? I'm not sure why I have this fear, but I've been extremely afraid of the disease since childhood. I also had a family member die with AIDS. So, i recently found out i'm pregnant with my second child and it's time to go test. The first time around I went nuts waiting for the results to come in. They were negative. This was six years ago and since then I've had one different partner, who is also the father of the child I am currently carrying. His ex-wife tested negative a couple of years ago when she was pregnant with their child. Since then, I've been his only partner. What is the likely hood that I could be infected and what is this I'm reading about pregnancy causing false positive HIV results? Now that has me worried. Does anyone know why pregnancy would cause a false positive?
I'm not crazy. This is probably the only thing I'm a nut about. Thanks. Question: To people Adept At Looking At MRIs, is There a Difference In MRIs Between HIV and HSV Encephalitis, -? -In Someone Who is HIV+?

There are eight human herpesviruses (HHVs). Primary infection by any of the eight viruses, usually occurring in childhood, is either asymptomatic or produces fever and rash of skin or mucous membranes; other organs might be involved on rare occasions. After primary infection, the virus becomes latent in ganglia or lymphoid tissue. With the exception of HHV-8, which causes Kaposi's sarcoma in patients with AIDS, reactivation of HHVs can produce one or more of the following complications: meningitis, encephalitis, myelitis, vasculopathy, ganglioneuritis, retinal necrosis and optic neuritis. Disease can be monophasic, recurrent or chronic. Infection with each herpesvirus produces distinctive clinical features and imaging abnormalities. This Review highlights the patterns of neurological symptoms and signs, along with the typical imaging abnormalities, produced by each of the HHVs. Optimal virological studies of blood, cerebrospinal fluid and affected tissue for confirmation of diagnosis are discussed; this is particularly important because some HHV infections of the nervous system can be treated successfully with antiviral agents.

World Hunger and Poverty: How They Fit Together
854 million people across the world are hungry, up from 852 million a year ago.3
Every day, almost 16,000 children die from hunger-related causes--one child every five seconds. 12
In essence, hunger is the most extreme form of poverty, where individuals or families cannot afford to meet their most basic need for food. 1
Hunger manifests itself in many ways other than starvation and famine. Most poor people who battle hunger deal with chronic undernourishment and vitamin or mineral deficiencies, which result in stunted growth, weakness and heightened susceptibility to illness. 1
Countries in which a large portion of the population battles hunger daily are usually poor and often lack the social safety nets we enjoy, such as soup kitchens, food stamps, and job training programs. When a family that lives in a poor country cannot grow enough food or earn enough money to buy food, there is nowhere to turn for help. 1
Facts and Figures on Population
Today our world houses 6.55 billion people. 2
The United States is a part of the developed or industrialized world, which consists of about 57 countries with a combined population of about 1 billion, less than one sixth of the world’s population. 4
In contrast, approximately 5.1 billion people live in the developing world. This world is made up of about 125 low and middle-income countries in which people generally have a lower standard of living with access to fewer goods and services than people in high-income countries. 4
The remaining 0.4 billion live in countries in transition, which include the Baltic states, eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States. 4
Facts and Figures on Hunger and Poverty
Worldwide, more than 1 billion people currently live below the international poverty line, earning less than $1 per day. 9
Among this group of poor people, many have problems obtaining adequate, nutritious food for themselves and their families. As a result, 820 million people in the developing world are undernourished. They consume less than the minimum amount of calories essential for sound health and growth. 3
Undernourishment negatively affects people’s health, productivity, sense of hope and overall well-being. A lack of food can stunt growth, slow thinking, sap energy, hinder fetal development and contribute to mental retardation. 1
Economically, the constant securing of food consumes valuable time and energy of poor people, allowing less time for work and earning income. 1
Socially, the lack of food erodes relationships and feeds shame so that those most in need of support are often least able to call on it. 1

Facts and Figures on Health
Poor nutrition and calorie deficiencies cause nearly one in three people to die prematurely or have disabilities, according to the World Health Organization. 5
Pregnant women, new mothers who breastfeed infants, and children are among the most at risk of undernourishment. 5
In 2005, about 10.1 million children died before they reached their fifth birthday. Almost all of these deaths occured in developing countries, 3/4 of them in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, the two regions that also suffer from the highest rates of hunger and malnutrition. 7
Most of these deaths are attributed, not to outright starvation, but to diseases that move in on vulnerable children whose bodies have been weakened by hunger. 6
Every year, more than 20 million low-birth weight babies are born in developing countries. These babies risk dying in infancy, while those who survive often suffer lifelong physical and cognitive disabilities. 13
The four most common childhood illnesses are diarrhea, acute respiratory illness, malaria and measles. Each of these illnesses is both preventable and treatable. Yet, again, poverty interferes in parents’ ability to access immunizations and medicines. Chronic undernourishment on top of insufficient treatment greatly increases a child’s risk of death. 6
In the developing world, 27 percent of children under 5 are moderately to severely underweight. 10 percent are severely underweight. 10 percent of children under 5 are moderately to severely wasted, or seriously below weight for one’s height, and an overwhelming 31 percent are moderately to severely stunted, or seriously below normal height for one’s age. 7
Facts and Figures on HIV/AIDS
The spreading HIV/AIDS epidemic has quickly become a major obstacle in the fight against hunger and poverty in developing countries.
Because the majority of those falling sick with AIDS are young adults who normally harvest crops, food production has dropped dramatically in countries with high HIV/AIDS prevalence rates. 10
In half of the countries in sub-Saharan Africa, per capita economic growth is estimated to be falling by between 0.5 and 1.2 percent each year as a direct result of AIDS. 3
Infected adults also leave behind children and elderly relatives, who have little means to provide for themselves. In 2003, 12 million children were newly orphaned in southern Africa, a number expected to rise to 18 million in 2010. 3
Since the epidemic began, 25 million people have died from AIDS, which has caused more than 15 million children to lose at least one parent. For its analysis, UNICEF uses a term that illustrates the gravity of the situation; child-headed households, or minors orphaned by HIV/AIDS who are raising their siblings. 10, 8
1 % (ages 15-49) of the world is HIV prevalent (2005 data). 4
1.1 % (ages 15-49) of developing countries are HIV prevalent (2005 data). 4
Approximately 39.5 million people are living with HIV/AIDS in the world. Of this figure, 63 percent live in Sub-Saharan Africa. 3
In 2006, 4.3 million people become infected with HIV and 2.9 million people died of AIDS. 3 Question: is British humour and topgear one of the same? Jeremy Clarkson quotes...

I'm 19, since childhood i've been completely paranoid about everything. When I was 10 I was convinced that I had HIV because I masturbated. When my family and I went to the beach to swim, I was scared to get in the water because I feared that I was going to spread it to them. Another case is when I purchased a book as a present for a friend. I left it in my car for a few days and I guess some snow sprinkled on it and the weather was cold so the pages became a little wrinkled. I then got the idea that the book now had water damage and I couldn't give it to my friend because I was worried that mold was going to grow on it and my friend was going to get very sick. I once threw out 4 large lobster tails because they were imported from south America and I feared that they were going to give me some disease. This is really ruining my life, what do I do?
Also another incident is when my parents gave me a pet bird and I let it go because I feared that it head some deadly disease and my family and I were going to get it. Question: What do you think of this? The "v5" ? The endogenous retrovirus belief
Yale University yale.edu ''Endogenous retroviruses contribute to the evolution of the host genome and can be associated with disease.''
http://vector.bcm.tmc.edu ''endogenous retroviruses are a sub-category of oncoviruses that include the lentiviruses. endogenous retroviruses are negative single-stranded RNA viruses in which tRNA serves as a primer for the mRNA synthesis. The mRNA is then reverse transcribed into DNA, which is then integrated into the chromosome at a multiplicity of sites, particularly those that are transcriptionally active.''
The main reason behind why real vampirism isn't as widely believed as one would think, is due to a failure of the general public's' understanding of the endogenous retrovirus referred to as V5. A majority of the general public doesn’t believe, and do not want to believe, that human DNA can be altered in such a way to create such a being.
The term 'Real Vampire' for purpose of this site is going to be used as a medical term and therefore must be separated from the 'Vampire' myths, such as Dracula. A Viral Vampire is an infected human. Though the DNA in the host human has been greatly altered, the organism remains human in the medical sense, as the number of chromosomes have not been changed. The entire human race has the same number of chromosomes. The number of chromosomes is what separates humans and animals (except for those born with Down's Syndrome - these people have an extra copy of chromosome 21 but are, of course, human). It must be kept in mind that DNA can be altered in many ways. Many endogenous retroviruses can alter their DNA to become stronger and survive even more intolerable conditions. This is what happens with the human DNA with the V5 endogenous retrovirus.
Technically still human
Technically the Real Vampire is still a human. However, for sake of discussion let us think of viral Vampires as non-human or as the next step in human evolution. This is difficult to believe because many of the attributes of a Real Vampire are considered far more developed than those of a human. Strength, speed, enhanced mental and/or psychic abilities, the ability to digest human and animal blood more efficiently are but a few of the differences. The reason this happens is the basic human DNA is altered by the endogenous retrovirus. The endogenous retrovirus, which we call V5, is NOT the same virus as HIV. To simplify, it is transmitted through a simple exchange of blood which can later be passed on either through birth or the more traditional way of an exchange of blood.
Through birth, the child inherits the retrovirus, passed on from the mother or father. The parent may have become infected with the endogenous retrovirus from some other member of their family such as a cousin, aunt, brother, etc., and thus the retrovirus is passed onto the newborn. Rarely are both parents infected, i.e., real vampires themselves. The passing of the endogenous retrovirus to the child from the parent produces a biological vampire child. The V5 is passed onto the newborn much the same way the other seven endogenus retroviruses that separate humans from chimpanzees are passed from mother to child. Every normal human being all ready has ten endogenous retroviruses three of which are shared with chimpanzees. The other seven are only found in humans.
According to Yale university as well as other well respected universities these are the difference that make humans more evolved than the chimpanzee. In such a child, the endogenous retrovirus remains dormant until the catalyst of the onset of puberty. The release of hormones is believed to activate the endogenus retrovirus system. Meaning it really is not a stretch to say that introducing one or more new endogenous retroviruses to a human will cause them to become a vampire, in effect giving the vampire some definite new advantages.
The effects of the V5 endogenous retrovirus then take a number of years during later childhood growth to become completely effective, i.e. active in the system from its previously dormant state in the child's body. In most cases, the child assumes that it is just the normal changes that happen to everyone during puberty, and generally thinks no more of it. It is also believed that the blood chemical make-up of the individual is also responsible in determining if the child will be fully affected by the endogenous retrovirus and thus DNA altered. (When the exchange of blood happens, the endogenous retrovirus adapts to the newly introduced blood chemical make up, which is what allows a real vampire to take on the strengths from the one that they have received the blood from, thereby allowing it to become compatible with the new potential host.) As with Inheritors, it takes traditional vampires a while to develop the full blown endogenous retrovirus after being infected. (Most of the changes happen within the first 3 days, roughly 70-80%. The remaining c Question: Why isn't the government working harder to find cures for these incurable diseases/disorders? Do you guys think that not enough work is being done to find cures for the incurable diseases/disorders out here?I feel like not enough work is being done.Theres still no cure for a lot of these diseases/disorders. I work as a nurse aide in a nursing home.I became a nurse aide back in 2006 because I thought I wanted to be a nurse.I changed my major once I started working as nurse aide.My backup plan was to become a teacher.I quickly changed my major to early childhood education once I became nurse aide because I can't take the suffering of the patients.I love all 248 residents and it hurts that some are suffering from incurable diseases.This one has Alzheimers.This one has multiple sclerosis.It goes on and on.Why is there no cure for AIDS/HIV?Why is there no cure for Alzheimers?Multiple Sclerosis?Schizophrenia?Manic Depression?Cancer?Diabeters?Lupus?Is the government not working on finding cures so pharmaceutical companies can continue making profit from medications sold?
It hurts that I have seen some of my residents at the nursing home get worse.Theres no cure for Alzheimers.Sufferes continue to forget and some even get to a point where they can't even talk.I know one lady with MS who has no use of her arms or legs.She has to be fed,turned,etc.She's totally bedridden.It hurts.I have seen people with MS get worse and die so young.The same with Alzheimers.And with cancer if it's not caught on time, person dies.It hurts that I witness diabetics loose their limbs or a toe or finger.And sometimes I feel that not enough work is being done to cure AIDS/HIV because it mostly afflicts minorities.Why isn't enough work being done to find cures for these incurable diseases/disorders? I am only doing the nurse aide thing until I earn my BA in education.It just hurts that I have to watch some of my residents get worse because there's no cure for these things..Same for some relatives/friends.Will there ever be cures for these incurable diseases/disorders?
I asked a question about cures for disease.
Keep your ignorant judgemental comments to yourself LexDiamo.You don't know me and I don't know you and don't want to.Your comment was totally irrelevant and so immature.You need to get it together and grow up. ANd I'm not ignorant, I'm real.I keep it real.You don't like it, tough.If you hate it that much then don't read my questions.Screw you and what you think about me!And you the one with issues fronting like you all that when in actuality you're not.Bite me!
