Patients with HIV are too long will become AIDS and eventually died because her immune system decline. Moreover, it is accelerated by stress and depression experienced by patients suffering from HIV-AIDS, difficulty accepting the condition and the fear of death will aggravate it.
But now I used to find patients who come to consult for substance dependence problem of HIV and said he no problem with it. Patients can live a normal life as usual and even many of the family.
Indeed, many new things that relate to human behavior. Eating antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) on a regular basis and have sex with a condom even though with his own wife is only part of the changing patterns of behavior that occurs in patients.
Although there is no cure to date, patients with HIV-AIDS is now better able to maintain a good condition with medication and a healthy lifestyle.
Mental deterioration due to the virus is also increasingly be eroded because of the large organizations or NGOs that are willing to assist in supporting patients who need encouragement to stay bertahana life.
Life expectancy at birth
One of the things to be different between now and the first is life expectancy. Patients with HIV-AIDS in ancient times it felt was no longer able to do anything. They will not long shelf life and die in vain.
Currently the HIV virus even though they have even already have AIDS, they have a longer life expectancy with medication and a healthy lifestyle.
Problem of the fear of death is not a big problem for most people with AIDS. Even for the ever approaching doom though.
Moreover, it is then supported activities that are useful for patients with HIV-AIDS. Many who later became HIV-AIDS counselor. Being a counselor for young children who still need to get enlightened about the dangers of drugs.
An encouragement and a companion for people who are sick are also a part that I said that most have the effect for the success of an HIV patient lived his life.
Being able to escape from the shadow of the deadly disease and help people in the same boat to pass through it is very encouraging. This is what could be hope in the lives of patients with HIV-AIDS.
Long Journey
The journey of friends who suffer from HIV-AIDS is still long. They all certainly need support from many parties, especially the government. Expensive antiretroviral drugs may be very difficult for some people to fulfill it. Fortunately this is now provided free of charge for them.
In addition to their empowerment as a medicine man certainly has to be increased. People with HIV-AIDS virus can live like normal people with treatment and a good healthy lifestyle. Development of the virus can be suppressed with this.
Surely even better if the feeling of happiness arises also as a stress-fighting could arise due to environmental factors day-to-day. Reduced stigma for people with HIV-AIDS also will make them become better people and we can contribute sufficiently to the attitude of empathy.
May we all increasingly able to understand our friends who suffer from HIV-AIDS. Happy World AIDS Day December 1.
Regards Healthy Life
