Sexuality has detoured drastically. sex acts
demand safer Sex. Has all the fun of raw sex gone astray?
Sexual practices remain the same apparently but sexuality can't be
expressed fully without safer sex.
In 1981, a large number of male adults, homosexuals and
living in and around San Fran's bay area and New York, showed signs of Kaposi's
sarcoma, pneumonia and further implications to the immune system. Conclusively,
there was a new disease altogether, not yet known, probably infectious and
highly contagious. Namely Syndrome of acquired immune deficiency. Later, some
cases occurred at the end of the seventies', were identified as the same
sexual disease-AIDS.
Almost 25 years after, the scenery is a little less desolate
than at the time, when a HIV diagnostic would be like sentencing
someone to death row and, actually, the first patients wouldn't last more than 6
months, victimized by opportunistic infections. A failure in the immune system
that invariably leads to death.
In 1996, at long last, researchers announced a great
breakthrough in sexuality to the world. The combination of three
medicines capable of extending life of HIV infected people, which
stuck out as the best ever news of the decade in the medic field.
By the first time, a combination of three medicines-AZT, 3TC
and the protease inhibitor NORVIR had reduced the viral load to undetectable
levels in nine patients. However, an important detail there was, all of whom
began taking medicine as soon as possible, only three months after infection
detection. The protease inhibitors- a new class of nukes pertaining to the
combination therapy hit mainstay. All of which, block replication of new virus
in cells, thus giving a break to the system. To talk about cure would be hasty,
although the so-called cocktail of retrovirus brought in new perspectives to
millions of HIV positive people the world over.
Therefore, people no longer die from AIDS currently so
much as learning to live with "AIDS", as if chronicle similarly to
diabetes that can be kept under control and monitored efficiently. With care,
life expectancy increases as one learns to plod along much as any other healthy
individual, who works, loves and make long run plans.
That doesn't necessarily mean, by all means, that protection
isn't required any longer as believed by some or challenged by others like the
bare-backers. 14 thousand are being infected on a daily basis. The east Europe
and central Asia are areas where the pandemic grows rapidly and as much as 95%
of people living with HIV live in the developing world, which due
to religious inculcation, bias or sheer ignorance, disregard safer sex
practices in its most popular form the condom during sex act.
The
HIV infection takes place, mostly through bodily fluids. Hugs,
kisses and caresses among others amenities don't bear infection. In the world,
mainly developing countries, the number of HIV infected people is
almost the same as men. World' stats point to a significant growth of females,
especially adolescents between 13 to 19 years of age, hitherto the youth of
epidemic.
Prevention and information or safer sex, key words for
the ultimate sex life, neglected by and large, comes as contribution to
increasingly rates of infection. Nonetheless, safer sex, a phrase
repeated exhaustively in the last decades all over the world, but carries the
only efficient form of prevention known, apart from abstinence and celibate,
it's hard to know what to make of it. It's up to you
