Best Doctors for Aids Treatment in Gachibowli, Hyderabad

AIDS or Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome is the last stage of a HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection. The HIV virus attacks the body’s immune system and damages it leading to AIDS. Once a person contracts HIV, medications can be prescribed to prevent the progression of the disease, and when that is not done, the infection can be fatal within three years. To consider that HIV has progressed to AIDS, some cellular markers called as CD4 cells are considered. When these particular cells fall below two hundred cells per cubic millimeter of blood, it is considered as AIDS. In this case, opportunistic infections occur in higher number as the body’s defenses are kicked down. Ultimately having AIDS essentially is an indication that the immune system is damaged. Immune system is responsible to act as a security blanket against diseases and therefore the body is susceptible for different kinds of bacterial, viral, parasitic infections. These may progress to develop into opportunistic cancers.
