remedies to diseases and health related issues

Do you need an electronics for your home? For your personal mobile use? For your household use? In buying piece of electronics there are some things which must be put into considerations, such as;
the type of electronics you want to buy
the purpose of buying it
the product you want to go for
the size you wish to buy
the amount of money you have to spend on it
where you want to buy the products and
why you have chosen to buy it at the place.
The highlighted points above are the key and essential notes one has to put into consideration before one proceed further to buy any piece of electronics, so that you don’t end up buying a counter feit product with your hardly earned income.
Now, haven knew the key factors in buying electronic equipment, let us consider some of the facts under or beside each highlighted points above.
It is quite obvious and it does not speak well of someone going to the market to buy a thing without knowing or having the clear picture of the exact thing one wanted to buy, although at times it does happen, that is if you just feel like spending, or at times you may be passing bye a store, seeing people rushing at buying a specific product, you too may love to buy to see what gains and benefits you were to derive from its use or consumption. Therefore, all things being equal before you leave your home for the electronic store, though you are already sure about buying a piece of electronic, you should have had in mind the exact type of electronic you needed to buy at the store you are visiting, because there are different types of electronics among which are; television set, video set player (DVD,VCD,ACD), cam corder, camera, dish service receiver, computer set (e.g desktop or laptop), electric stove, electric kettle, electric iron, electric laundry drier, deep freezer, air conditioner, ceiling fan, standing fan, mobile phone, land telephone, video game, digital camera, e.t.c
Secondly, you don’t just buy any thing just for no convincing reason, we all have reasons for taking steps, before you could have chosen to buy an electronic product you must have had some reasons for buying it right there in your mind, it could be that you are in need of it, or you just feel like buying it to prevent your children from going to the neighbouring houses to borrow, or you might be buying it to enhance or increase your business sales, take for instance, a person selling video cassettes, would increase the attention and the awareness of the public passing through his environment if he plays music and increase its volume frequency to an extent that passers-by would being attracted to call to his store or shop. You may even wish to the piece of electronic to entertain friends and relatives that visit you, to make them feel at home, relaxed and enjoy their visits to your house. So your purpose of buying a piece of an electronic products determines the type and kind of the product you would buy, and that is your major reason of going to the market, although you might still buy some other things which you never had in mind before just as the afore-discussed issues.
Haven considered the purpose of buying the piece of electronic, the next is for you to know or choose the product you will go for, and this would be the first second question the store attendant or representative of the store you are visiting we ask. The first question would be what exact products do you want to buy and the next would be, what manufacturers product do you need. So this is why you should know the manufacturers name of the product you want to buy, though at times if you are not sure of the particular manufacturer’s product to buy, and you buy which ever please you at the store you visit.

What are the preventive measures that could be taken not to contract the disease?
Individual should always undergo test/examination on sexually transmitted infections
Always use protective rubber (Condom) when having sexual intercourse
Thorough and quick abstainence, is the ultimate and the most effective way
Donor blood should be thoroughly checked and scrutinized HIV & AIDS free before transfusing to the acceptor
Ensure the use of sterilized sharp, piercing equipment always
Proposed wedding partners should always be tested HIV & AIDS free, before being joined together, even it is advisable they do that before courtship.
Why are sexually transmitted infections important in HIV preventions?
Sexually transmitted infections (STI) are transmitted in the case way as HIV. STI create small (sometimes even invisible) sores on the genitals (the male and female sex organs). These are openings that may allow HIV to be transmitted from one person to another. They are extremely dangerous. If you have an STI, or think you have, please go to clinic and have it properly diagnosed and treated. Then notify your sexual partner to be treated also. You must take all the drugs as prescribed by the physician. And begin to use a condom with your partner throughout the period of treatment.
Rights of People Living With HIV and AIDS.
AIDS is NOT a moral issue; it is a public health as well as a developmental problem. People living with HIV and AIDS have the same fundamental human rights as any person. Internationally accepted human rights include:
The right to live
The right to shelter
The right to health care
The right to freedom of movement
The right to freedom of speech and _expression
The right to freedom of thought and religion
The right to education
The right to protection against discrimination
The right to dignity
The right to gender equality
The right to employment
People living with HIV and AIDS should not be discriminated against in the exercise of any of these rights, nor should there be any stigma because a person is infected with HIV or is suffering from AIDS. They deserve to be treated the same way as any other person. Public health educators should be vocal advocates for the rights of people living with HIV and AIDS. Invite As Friend

Are there any dangers in sharing the same apartment with those suffering from Aids?
Actually, there are no much dangers in it, because they need our ever abiding presence around them, to keep encouraging them that, it has not finished with, until it is. They need our help, encouragement to always comfort them, give them not, so that they do not think themselves to be in the state of despair, because their heart is not that firm, but feeble. They therefore need our continuous help.
Nevertheless, it is strongly advisable that always be careful, so that we do not mistakenly share infected objects with them, in order for us also not to fall victim of the Veneral, deadly disease.

How long does it take for someone who is infected with HIV to develop HIV antibodies?
The formation of antibodies seems to depend on the route and frequency of exposure, the amount of virus transmitted and immune response of the infected person. For example, antibodies tend to be produced very early following infection through blood transfusion. It is important to remember that a person is not infected with HIV. It could mean that the test was done at a time immediately following an exposure. This period is called the "window period".

How can a person know that he or she has HIV infection or AIDS?
Remember that a person has AIDS, if he or she has begun to suffer from some of the illness associated with HIV infection, examples which are the afore-listed. However, if the person has HIV infection, he or she is not yet sick. We say that the person is HIV- positive or living with HIV. A person can know that he or she is HIV- Positive when the person has taken a blood test and the test has shown and revealed the presence of HIV antibodies, in the body.
The body produces these antibodies when the virus infects it. It usually takes between two weeks to six months after exposure to HIV for a test to detect these antibodies. Most tests for HIV antibodies use a small amount of blood although newer tests use other body fluids such as; Saliva, Inner cheek cells or urine.
If you feel that at some time, you have been at risk of HIV infection, it is a good idea to have a test. If people know that they are HIV-Positive, they can be careful not to infect other people. They can also take good care of their health and still enjoy a long life.

Can Mosquitoes transmit HIV the same way they transmit Malaria?
No! At all! Although Mosquitoes take blood from a person, they do not pass the blood they have taken from someone to another fellow. The Malaria parasite lives in and is transmitted through the mosquito’s saliva. HIV is not.
Scientist and experts in the health field of study have proven conclusively that neither Mosquitoes nor any other blood sucking insects can transmit HIV
What are the symptoms of AIDS?
Following an infection with HIV, eventually the person will develop AIDS and will begin to manifest some symptoms described as major and minor. Examples include the followings;
Prolonged diarrhoea
White coating on the tongue (thrush)
Enlargement of glands in the neck, groin and / or armpits
Persistent fever
Persistent cough
Skin infections
Unexplained weight loss.
Because these symptoms also characterize other diseases a persistent cough may mean tuberculosis, diarrhoea may mean intestinal illness. Blood tests for the presence of HIV antibodies are the surest ways to determine whether someone has AIDS or not.

Can HIV be transmitted through Kissing?
There is no risk of HIV infection if it is a kiss on the cheek. In the case of a kiss involving saliva exchange, it is unlikely that HIV will be transmitted. Saliva contains very little quantity of the virus and it is believed that a large volume of saliva would be needed to infect someone. But the presence of sores (which are obtained through injuries) in the mouth is likely to increase the risk of transmission during kissing.

How is HIV contracted?
Since HIV is found in body fluids, it can be transmitted when fluid from an infected person enters the body of another person. This can happen through the following ways;
During sexual intercourse
During blood transfusion
When using unsterilized skin piercing instruments (e.g. Needles/Syringes, razor blades, circumcision and other skin piercing instruments.)
From an infected mother to her baby during pregnancy, childbirth or after birth through breast feeding, e.t.c
How is HIV not contracted?
HIV is not contracted through casual contact such as;
Sharing of clothes, dishes, and toilet seats
Through eating together
You can not be infected with HIV from hugging
Shaking of hands
Touching
Or being near to a person with HIV or AIDS

How is it transmitted?
The disease is transmittable in nature, that is, it is been conveyed from a body known as the host to another uninfected body.
It was observed that sixty percent (60%) of those having the disease contracted it through having unprotected sexual intercourse with an infected sex partner, it was in lieu of this, that it is mostly referred to as a STD (sexually transmitted disease), while twenty percent (20%) contracted it from the use of unsterilized materials and equipment, and the remaining twenty percent (20%) contracted it through inherited genes. That is, 20% of those suffering from the disease are those that got it as a result of inheritance of bad and ready infected genes/traits which were transmitted from the parents’ genes to the off spring. It therefore grows gradually, as the off spring is growing from the infanthood (i.e childhood) and to the adulthood, provided the disease has not reached it life span to take the life of the victim. It could be contracted through the use of infected, unsterilized materials, such as; razor blades, knife, the barber’s clipper, cutting nail, shaving stick and all other cutting material or equipments.

What Causes Aids?
It is majorly caused by a virus known as HIV (Human Immune Virus). This is a kind of virus which infects the immune system of human being. It weakens the immune system of the human body gradually. That is, it generally weakens the whole components of the immune system, thereby, paving way for other diseases, (both small and big). And soon, the smaller diseases such as; Cough, Head ache, Back ache, Fever, Cold, Stomach ache creeps in, leading to the continuous deficiency of the immune system of the host. It does not kill outright, neither is it infection easily observed and noted.
What Categories of people are infected with this disease?
It is scientifically proved that the virus originated from the European, Asian and other English countries, but it is obvious that most of its victims this day are now the Africans. The disease is never a respecter of anybody, as it infects both the poor and the rich; it infects individuals of different sex, race, religion, age, and geographical locations. In fact, a research did at a close quarters, indicate that about sixty percent (60%) of those haven contracted the disease have their age ranges between ages 2-50 years, while the remaining forty percent (40%) are their ages ranges from age 50-70 years. This thus shows that those infected by this disease are majorly the Youths. A further research shows that if we are to hold a symposium comprises the youth, about 10% of the total 100% of them will be having the virus.

What Is Aids?
Aids is a deadly disease, which is referred to as ‘Slim’ in Uganda, and its full meaning is Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromme. Aids is real. It is a type of disease which weakens the Immune system of its host, which helps to combat various diseases from entering into the body system of the host being. It is transmittable in nature; that is, it can be conveyed and transferred from the host to an uninfected person.
Statistically, millions of souls had been claimed and cut-short by this deadly disease. About 10-20% of the sum total of those having it, through out the universe always passed by daily.
