HIV (AIDS) AWARNESS
Forwarded as received
This mail has been written by Mayank who works in Ranbaxy. So go through
it and know about the actual causes of HIV(AIDS). The purpose of sending this
mail is to be aware of the nonsense stuff from the net, don't panic if you find
a Needle in the Theatre or some threatening note of infection.
Dear Friends!!!
Its good to be well informed about HIV. There was a story on junk some
days back where it is said that a boy got infected by HIV virus by eating
pani-puri. And there have also been rumors where people are affected by the HIV
virus when they got pricked by an HIV infected needle in theaters which is
rubbish. So read along!
RANBAXY....
I have seen this below mentioned mail floating across group email & I
feel its my moral responsibility to correct all misconceptions regarding HIV
/AIDS. I can do this because I am educated enough to comment on this and for
those who don't know my profession ...I am serving as Brand Manager (Product
Manager) handling anti HIV/AIDS portfolio (called as Antiretroviral Drugs) in
Ranbaxy. Please read following points carefully & don't send emails related to
Medical ailments without having complete knowledge about it (even partial
knowledge could be grossly dangerous).
* HIV (virus) requires *ONLY* *Blood or Semen* as medium to transmit from
one body to another.
* HIV *can not* transmit even through *Saliva*(mucous) i.e. even if
HIV-infected patient coughs or smooches and another person is exposed to his
sputum (cough) or saliva, the virus still can not transmit because
concentration of virus particles in sputum is almost NIL & exposure to air
anyway kills virus in fraction of seconds.
* In case an HIV-infected person gets an injury (like the cut in below
mentioned story) and he is bleeding, the virus can transmit to another person
only if another person has a cut/wound in his body & that too when blood from
both person comes in contact with each other* (this is also very very rare
unless bleeding is very high) and not otherwise.
* HIV can *never survive in any other liquid* medium also other than
blood or semen (& please for God sake ... never in Pani Puri wala pani)
* Even if one drinks an HIV infected blood (or semen) of someone (ingest
through Gastro Intestinal track), the virus can not survive in The acidic pH
of stomach*. Highest extent of acidity is 0 (practically not possible) so
imagine 1 as pH which is in our stomach. (This pH can burn your own finger in
less than a second if you dip in that acid).
* Exposure of less than 1 second in AIR KILLS the HIV virus*(hence story
of needle pricks in Cinema theatres is a crap). Even if blood from a wound (of
infected person) dries up (*blood clot*), *the virus dies*and can not infect
anyone else
* HIV transmission is *ONLY* an *INFECTION* i.e.entrance of virus in
one's body. It *DOES NOT MEAN AIDS*.
* An HIV-infected person (after entrance of virus) can progress to a
condition of AIDS only after *8 to 10 YEARS *(not in 15 days as in the Pani
Puri story)
* It is *not HIV (virus) that kills a human* ......the virus attacks
immune cells (cells that fight against foreign pathogens/antigens) and hence a
person's ability to fight against infections & diseases slowly diminishes and
person ultimately dies of a disease which could be as simple as TB
* Most importantly, HIV is no longer a dreadful disease ... it is
"*CHRONIC MANAGEABLE DISEASE*" just like Diabetes or Hypertension.
* If there is anything you need to be careful from to prevent HIV is
Unsafe sex*, *Blood transfusion* (check before taking) /Blood donation (use
sterilized needles only) and any *blood contact during an accident *or so where
amount of bleeding is very high.
