HIV Advocates Father’s Day Tribute: Having a Negative Family can be the most Positive Thing in your Life

      

HIV Advocates is an HIV awareness program, which aims to share news, developments, and human rights movements as we battle HIV. We’ve come a long way from 1990’s, and recent pharmaceutical developments have allowed HIV positive people to live longer. There may be multiple infections and the risk of viral activation is always there, but the drugs have allowed HIV positive people to pursue their dreams and careers - a feat not possible before. This Father’s Day, HIV Advocates will highlight the role of fathers in the fight against HIV.

A Father is a head and main breadwinner of the family. His wife and children look up to him for support and guidance for crucial matters. If a father tests HIV-positive, it is a big blog to the family. Aside from the social stigma which may result in him being jobless, he also worries for other members of the family. If the children or wife turn out HIV-positive later, the father is always blamed. Therefore, it is important for men to have access to reducing their risk for HIV. Measures such as voluntary circumcision reduce the risk of male to female transmission of HIV by 60%. It is also important for men to have information about HIv-testing centres and the treatment options if he is HIV-positive. Antiretroviral therapies can reduce the risk of transmission to family members, so children can live a risk-free life.

Fathers often close up about their personal problems for the happiness of the family members, so it is important to let them know that they are not alone. A man who is aware about HIV and its damages will ensure his family is also HIV-free. HIV Advocates thanks these fathers for their dedication to the cause, and together we can eradicate HIV from communities.

HIV Advocates which is a global initiative that aims to share news, experiences, strategies and new tools that aim to energize human rights movements and communities fighting HIV/AIDS, is the answer. Supported by Levi Strauss Foundation and powered by B-Change Foundation,  HIV Advocates encourages existing and would-be activists to explore the power of social media and other Internet avenues to help spread the message across - that discrimination and stigma no longer have any place in society and that society should accept the LGBT community members as they are.

HIV Advocates News: HIV/Aids detection is now possible with a simple scan

HIV Advocates is an awareness program aimed at sharing the recent developments in HIV diagnosis and cure. HIV is a very difficult virus to treat - it undergoes rapid mutations and transfers to other cells of the body. Any drug removes the virus from the blood, but not from the body. The virus becomes dormant, and can become active after a period of time. The activation is due to picked up genetic mutations, making it resistant to previously used drug regimens. The key to permanent cure of HIV is isolating HIV strains and then develop drugs targeting the specific strain.

A team of scientists from Emroy University and Imperial College London have collaborated on a research aimed at diagnosing HIV by a simple scan. The idea originated from antibodies which could attach themselves to the HIV strain in monkeys, SIV. Radioactive antibodies were injected in the monkeys, and a subsequent PET Scan revealed the presence of viral gp120 protein across the tissues of monkeys - excluding the brain. They are working around to get the antibodies to also enter the brain and show viral reservoirs. Further development includes isolating viral reservoirs in specific cells in the body. Research is also being undertaken to make antibodies against viral protein gp120, as it would prevent HIV strains from picking up further mutations, making the treatment This scan can make the diagnosis and elimination of HIV much easier than methods used before.

HIV Advocates encourages volunteers who can effectively use social media to give a ray of hope to the people infected with HIV - and let them know they are not alone.
