"HIV does not cure, and most patients will remain at high risk for development of HIV-related complications over the course of their life. HIV care is typically delivered as a part of a team by a specialist, specifically a general practitioner (GP), nurse, family doctor, psychiatrist, or psychiatrist with a specialist background, such as a psychiatrist or psychologist.\n" - Anonymous Online Contributor
"The presence of symptoms, such as low CD4 count and viral loads, can indicate the presence of hiv. There are no specific symptoms of hiv. There is also no general medical symptom that can be used to diagnose hiv. Treatment of hiv can include HAART, but it can also include antiviral therapy.\n" - Anonymous Online Contributor
"HIV can be prevented through abstinence or limiting exposure to infected partners. HIV infection results from exposure to an infected person. The incubation period varies, from several months to years, depending on the stage of viral load, the strain of virus, the immune status of the infected person and the health of surrounding people.\n" - Anonymous Online Contributor
"HIV is an infectious disease that can spread from one individual to another through sexual contact or with contaminated needles or blood.

"About 2 and 1/3 of Americans may have had sex with a sex worker or with a person who has an undetectable viral load; only 1/2 of those may have had sex with a sex worker or with a person who has an undetectable viral load. The HIV prevalence among sex workers and drug users is likely to be higher than among the general population. The HIV test and counseling and prevention services available to the general population may not target people at increased risk of HIV infection." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"Once a person has contracted HIV, it is highly unlikely that the virus can be totally 'cured', so that a cure is not possible. However those infected with HIV who are treated to an undetectable HIV level and manage other co-existing diseases can live a long and healthy life, particularly if the HIV infection is under control." - Anonymous Online Contributor

"Results from a recent clinical trial add to the literature showing that psychological and social well-being, not just QoL is improved with HIV treatment intervention, and support the need for ongoing intervention strategies in order to continue to improve QoL throughout HIV trajectory including beyond the first year post diagnosis." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"Support from health workers as well as the general community could be an essential tool in the success of the ART/HAART programme.

"About a quarter of adults in the United States are infected with HIV. People may develop HIV from a partner's current infection as early as 9 years of age and on average from 20 to 28 years of age." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"HIV is an infection (and, in principle, a potentially fatal one) which may be successfully diagnosed, treated and prevented if appropriate strategies are used. Current preventive measures rely on education programs and condom use. However, in many developing countries preventive techniques for HIV are either unavailable or inadequately implemented. Although the benefits of prevention include the avoidance of AIDS-related diseases and death, there is little convincing evidence that the impact of these programmes exceeds the costs. It is argued that health professionals play a key role in making effective use of preventive services." - Anonymous Online Contributor
