Since first diagnosing HIV in the U.S. in the 1980’s, doctors and researchers have made great strides in identifying, treating and educating the public about the illness. However, many misconceptions still persist — like open wounds spread HIV — that continue to cause unnecessary fear and anxiety. Read on to learn the truth behind 16 common misconceptions about HIV.
The human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, attacks and destroys CD4+ T cells — the cells in your body that help fend off infectionand illness. AIDS(acquired immune deficiency syndrome) is the late stage of an HIV infection, when a person’s immune system is severely weakened. Without treatment, most cases of HIV infection will indeed progress to overt AIDS within several years. In fact, most experts now typically refer to “HIV/AIDS” as a single condition because it is a progression of the same virus. However, modern anti-HIV treatment is highly effective and usually prevents the progression of HIV to AIDS.
HIV/AIDS is a lifelong condition. As of yet, there is no cure, though much research continues on that front. But thanks to the development of certain medications, HIV can be controlled and the progression of the condition can be greatly slowed. By working with your doctor and being vigilant about your treatment, it’s very possible to live a long, fulfilling life with HIV. In fact, treatment is now so successful that in places where sophisticated medical care is available, most HIV-infected persons can expect to live a normal lifespan.
