the biology of an AIDS patient.

The occurrence of other sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea, HPV infection and chlamydia may also indicate towards HIV transmission as sexual fluids are one of the favorite vehicles of transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus. HIV/AIDS symptoms in men and women differ along certain points such as the occurrence or absence of various conditions that are gender specific such as abnormal menstrual cycles, gynecological problems etc. The onset of AIDS as a sign of advanced HIV infection may manifest as the severe onset of an otherwise trivial opportunistic infection. Such a trivial infection may take a life threatening form when it enters the biology of an AIDS patient. Such symptoms could include:-

• Constant coughing
• Difficulty in breathing
• Weakening or loss of vision
• Mental confusions and delirium
• Difficulty in swallowing
• Seizures
• Distorted coordination
• Coma

That precisely sums up AIDS symptoms in women. Nowadays, individuals infected with HIV have access to a lot of advanced medical and health care options and an identification of early symptoms of HIV helps a lot in lessening the sufferings of such persons. The best way to keep AIDS and HIV at an arm's distance and to be able to cope with it is to be aware of all HIV facts and follow medical hygiene and safe sex practices. The quest for an AIDS vaccine is on its way and we hope, for the sake of those millions of infected individuals, that it is developed soon so that the gift of a healthy and happy life can be shared by a larger number of people around the world.
