HIV protects against virus spread ..

HIV patients early why not they're too sick, dramatically lowers their chances of spreading the AIDS virus to a sexual partner.
The nine-country study confirms what scientists have long believed. HIV medicines don't just benefit patients' own health but act as prevention by making those people less infectious.Treatment patients were 96 percent less likely to spread HIV to their uninfected partner.
The findings promise to play a role in an important that Antiviral drugs are life-saving, but also expensive and side effect-prone.So how early should patients start taking them? In the U.S.That's a case-by-case decision for patients whose immune systems so far are moderately damaged by HIV in developing countries. Patients tend to be sicker before treatment starts.
The study may change those guidelines by adding the promise of partner protection.The study randomly divided the couples. Among half, the HIV-infected partner immediately started medication. Among the other half, the infected partner delayed medication until their level of CD4 cells, a key measure of immune health, dropped below 250 or they caught other AIDS-related illnesses.

Fauci said that the uninfected partner became infected with a strain of HIV that scientists could prove came from the originally infected partner in 28 couples. Only one of those infections was among the early-treated for us.We have to solve this affect anyway.

Albinos raped as AIDS "cure" in Tanzania

Hundreds of albinos are thought to have been killed for black magic purposes in Tanzania . Albino girls are being raped because of a belief they offer a cure for AIDS, a Canadian rights group told.
At least 63 albinos, including children are known to have been killed, mostly in the remote northwest of the country.
"We can believe that there are hundreds and hundreds of killings in Tanzania, but only a small number are being reported to the police," Peter Ash, founder and director of Under The Same Sun (UTSS), said that Reuters.
"There is belief that if you have relations with a girl with albinism, you have to cure to AIDS. So there are many girls with albinism who are being raped in this country because of this belief, which is a false belief."
Around 1.4 million Tanzanians among a population of 40.7 million have the HIV virus that leads to AIDS.
Albino hunters kill their victims and harvest their blood, hair, genitals and other body parts for potions that witchdoctors say bring luck in love, life and business.
"(It can believe that a person with albinism is a curse.Aah said that They are from the devil, they are not human, they don't die, they simply disappear,".
Ernest Kimaya, head of the Tanzania Albino society and a sufferer of the pigment disorder, said social stigma prevented many girls from reporting rape, making it difficult to say how many albinos had been sexually abused.
"These things are taking place underground. Even the albino killings started quietly, before the atrocities were finally exposed in public," Kimaya told Reuters.
Activists last week reported three murders of teenage albino boys from the same family in northern Tanzania, who were poisoned and their bones later robbed from their graves.
The Tanzanian government says it is determined to halt the macabre killings, but has been widely criticized for inaction.
