The HIV/AIDS epidemics disease is spreading through countries of African tribes. Though it is not right to speak of single African epidemic disease, Africa is with no doubt harmful virus affects that region. Inhabited by more than 12% of world’s population, it is estimated that Africa have over 60% of AIDS infected population. Lots of deadliness of epidemic in African tribes has to do all with deadly synergy between AIDS/HIV & Tuberculosis, although this particular synergy is not at all limited to Africa. Actually Tuberculosis is world’s most infectious destroyer of women of the reproductive age and leading source of death of people with AIDS. Almost all of newly infected people stay in developing world, mainly southern Africa. Majority of them are the young adults, some of whom don’t know that they are been infected. This epidemic disease is leading cause of the death in Africa. Worldwide, AIDS is a leading source of death for adults between ages of 15 to 59 years.
The HIV/AIDS epidemic disease has placed Africa in horrifying cycle that with no outside help & education on issue Africa might never get cured of and it is hard to speak about the percentage of the people that are infected with this particular virus because the people who have got it don’t know or they are ashamed to admit. HIV epidemic disease is major issue and effects of that is public knowledge in spite of the effort of infected to maintain secret. You can’t define risk groups: everybody who is active sexually is at the major risk. Babies as well, (are) without knowing infected by the mothers. Barely single family stays untouched. Majority of them don’t know how and when they have caught virus, many don’t know that they have that, many who know will not tell anybody since they lie dying” Sex is the issue, which is not satisfactory to talk in African culture and as HIV is transmitted by sex nobody talks about that and in case people find that somebody has got HIV they are shunned.
This brief evaluation of natural rubber latex allergy in the health of care workers includes definition of the NRL allergy & data on the pathogenesis, epidemiologist, management, diagnostic algorithm, economic impact, long-term outcomes, cost-effectiveness of the changing facilities to latex free environment, & prevention. Data presented recommend that individual with the type I and IV hypersensitivity to the NRL must continue to labor in workplace with cautious evaluation and sensible accommodations. Decrease in exposure to latex is much safes and more cheap alternative to the complete removal of individual from place of employment. Use of the low allergen, no powdered nitrile gloves considerably reduces the airborne exposure to the latex in majority of the health care settings. You need to wear protective nitrile gloves, practice normal hand washing, as well as avoid hand to mouth contact while handling rats and cleaning rat cages
Adults must closely oversee children aged below 5 years to stop bites as well as hand to mouth contact.
The HIV/AIDS is avoidable. For instance, screening of blood & blood products for HIV virus has also reduced risk of the HIV transmission with the transfusion to 1:1,000,000. From mother to baby transmission has also dropped by the two-thirds. Following the Universal Precautions in a healthcare has indisputably prevented hundreds, if not millions, cases of HIV – AIDS in United States.
Avoidance of HIV/AIDS will save money and lives. CDC estimates that average cost of the lifetime treatment for a person with HIV-AIDS infection is about $210,000. At 2006, the CDC announced latest prevention initiatives with overarching aim to “reduce number of original HIV infections in US from the estimated 40,000 – 20,000 every year, focusing mainly on eliminating racial as well as ethnic disparities in the new HIV-AIDS infections.”
Strategies to attain that goal comprise:
* Make chosen testing routine part of the medical care for U.S. residents between ages of 13 to 64.
* Implement latest models for identifying HIV infection, like rapid testing in the high-prevalence areas, example, and correctional amenities.
* Prevent latest infections by functioning with the persons diagnosed with AIDS, communicating prevention messages, screening for the risk behaviors, discussing about sexual & drug use behaviors as well as offering positive strengthening for changes to safe behaviors.
* Further reducing perinatal HIV transmission, just by promoting the voluntary prenatal testing, and rapid testing at time of labor, delivery & postpartum for the women with unidentified HIV status, ensuring suitable antiretroviral treatment & follow-up for the HIV positive women & their infants.
Prevention of AIDS starts with education & counseling about the sexual practices & injection drug use. For some people, saying no is not sufficient. Patients require practical, basic, how to do information.
Gloves nitrile, in a case of latex allergy must be worn in following situations:
* While you expect contact with any of the body substance (blood or OPIM)
* While you expect contact with any of the non intact skin
At end of procedure, nitrile gloves must be cautiously pulled off, one at time, inside out, so contaminated surfaces are in, and preventing any of the contact with potentially infectious fabric. Gloves are not at all necessary for the general care, or else during the casual contact. Nitrile gloves must be changed & hands washed once possible after the care of every patient. Do not rub your eyes, mouth, and face when wearing gloves. Latex as well as other disposable gloves must not be washed & reused.
HANDWASHING
Correct hand washing is critically significant. Good hand washing method includes all these elements:
* Washing hands in sink make use of soap, warm water, & friction, scrubbing top, back, and all sides of fingers.
* Lather and rinse for about 10 seconds. While rinsing, start at fingertips so dirty water will run down and off hands from wrists. Pump type of liquid cleaning soap is preferable to the bar soap.
* You should completely Dry up your hands with the help of the paper towels. Make use of dry paper towel in order to turn off faucets.
* Waterless hand washing product must be made available for the immediate use if appropriate sink is not willingly available. This will not replace god hand washing with the soap and the water.
