AIDS is almost incurable disease. Most peoples dies due to diagnosis of the patient at the secondary stage. For prevention of it, use of genuine and reliable condoms and other safety measures has to be taken. If there is proper diagnosis of the probable patient at the initial stage, then he will be cured at the stage before going into the dangerous or secondary level. Also using of reusable syringe through blood donation or curing the disease of the patient, there are more chances of causing AIDS to the patient. So it is always said that “Prevention is Better than Cure”. Most peoples move away from AIDS patients due to fear of infection. But it is the wrong way to escape from ourselves. The proper way is to take care of the patient by using good types of handgloves.

Basically when a person contracted the HIV-AIDS or Retro-Virus, there is NO MORE CHANCE of cure (at the present time).
Common misconception of many people that there is a cure for it when diagnose at early stage. The only available drugs against Retrovirus at this time is only pallative. It means, the medication is only work to retard or slow down the replication and spread of the virus. But there is no way to eliminate it completely.
Another misconception is many people were dying due to HIV-AIDS virus. The real truth was, people infected by retrovirus died not because of the virus perse. They died because secondary to INFECTION of what-so-ever disease.
The primary target of retrovirus is CD4 or helper T-Cell. CD4 cell is one type of WBC. It is one of the major defense of our body on fighting bacteria and foreign bodies.
Therefore if the retrovirus attack the CD4, the body will be bare defenseless from disease producing microorganism.
That is the time people become ill and die from the what-so-ever infection.
You are right! PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE. Because there is no CURE yet!
For your info: The Diagnosis and Staging of HIV-AIDS virus is based on the level of CD4 helper T-cell.
There is no point after a person has contracted the HIV virus at which it can be cured. Once it is in a person’s blood they have it and always will; at least at this point in time. With medications it is possible to keep the virus to point where it is not replicating itself and it is not overtaking any of the bodies systems.
But at any point after which it has entered the persons system they can pass it to the next person through contact with blood, or other body fluids. Casual contact such as shaking hands, hugging, or even sharing a drink will pass the virus from them to you.
Latex condoms and gloves are very effective in preventing the passage of respective fluids involved. If a syringe must be reused it has to be completely cleaned first and never re-use a needle.
The most important thing to remember if you have a friend or family member or even just an aquaintance who is HIV+ treat them just like you treat everybody else. They need as much care as anyone else.
If you think that you may have exposed yourself to the HIV virus (either by risky behavior or exposure to body fluids) you should seek medical attention asap and get post exposure prophylaxis. They can give you some anti-retro viral medications for a few weeks that might stop the virus from replicating and infecting you. You need to do it fast. Waiting any period of time after a risk of exposure could result in acquiring HIV.
I don’t know if that is what you meant by the initial stage. Once you acquire the virus, it’s yours forever.
AIDS is caused by HIV, it is a virus that replicated in T cells in the body, and they use your body’s own DNA to reproduce, therefore, it is almost impossible to get rid of the virus completely
an that is why hiv is spread so world wide, there is no cure at the curent time
when a person first get infected, s/he may only feel a little discomfort, then s/he will actually recover; the virus will continue to replicate in their bodies, until after 10 years later, when the body totally lost control of those virus, by then, the person will have a full blown AIDS
