well AIDS is caused by HIV retrovirus . it affects the immune system by drastically reducing the number of white blood cells in the blood stream . if a person gets AIDS he/she is prone 2 evry disease in the wrld cuz of their weak immune system. a person has 2 b HIV positive 2 determine if he/she has AIDS . a person might eventually die of  AIDS . i said MIGHT therez a chance of survival ... but the person has 2 take a regular dosage of medicines 2 keep away frum diseases and there are chances of the disease spreading to the affected pplz children 2 . once again i sad CHANCES. hope i helped.\n\ncheers\nanu

hiv is the virus. aids is the disease that stems from the virus.hiv is a virus that kills your immune system slowly.

Your heart is a pump that circulates blood through the many veins and arteries in your body...oxygenated blood leaves your heart ,in your arteries, flows to your tissues, organs and cells depositing oxygen then returns through your veins back through your lungs to heart to re oxygenate the the cycle starts over.

SYMPTOMS OF HIV INFECTION\nMany people do not have any symptoms when they first become infected with HIV. Some people, however, have a flu-like illness within a month or two after exposure to the virus. This illness may include\n\n\nFever \nHeadache \nTiredness \nEnlarged lymph nodes (glands of the immune system easily felt in the neck and groin \nThese symptoms usually disappear within a week to a month and are often mistaken for those of another viral infection. During this period, people are very infectious, and HIV is present in large quantities in genital fluids. \n\nMore persistent or severe symptoms may not appear for 10 years or more after HIV first enters the body in adults, or within two years in children born with HIV infection. This period of "asymptomatic" infection is highly individual. Some people may begin to have symptoms within a few months, while others may be symptom-free for more than 10 years. \n\nEven during the asymptomatic period, the virus is actively multiplying, infecting, and killing cells of the immune system. The most obvious effect of HIV infection is a decline in the number of CD4 positive T cells (also called T4 cells) found in the blood -- the immune system's key infection fighters. At the beginning of its life in the human body, the virus disables or destroys these cells without causing symptoms. \n\nAs the immune system worsens, a variety of complications start to take over. For many people, the first signs of infection are large lymph nodes or "swollen glands" that may be enlarged for more than three months. Other symptoms often experienced months to years before the onset of AIDS include \nLack of energy \nWeight loss \nFrequent fevers and sweats \nPersistent or frequent yeast infections (oral or vaginal) \nPersistent skin rashes or flaky skin \nPelvic inflammatory disease in women that does not respond to treatment \nShort-term memory loss \nSome people develop frequent and severe herpes infections that cause mouth, genital, or anal sores, or a painful nerve disease called shingles. Children may grow slowly or be sick a lot. \nAIDS\nThe term AIDS applies to the most advanced stages of HIV infection. CDC developed official criteria for the definition of AIDS and is responsible for tracking the spread of AIDS in the United States. \n\nCDC's definition of AIDS includes all HIV-infected people who have fewer than 200 CD4 positive T cells (abbreviated CD4+ T cells) per cubic millimeter of blood (Healthy adults usually have CD4 positive T-cell counts of 1,000 or more.). In addition, the definition includes 26 clinical conditions that affect people with advanced HIV disease. Most of these conditions are opportunistic infections that generally do not affect healthy people. In people with AIDS, these infections are often severe and sometimes fatal because the immune system is so ravaged by HIV that the body cannot fight off certain bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, and other microbes. \n\nSymptoms of opportunistic infections common in people with AIDS include \nCoughing and shortness of breath \nSeizures and lack of coordination \nDifficult or painful swallowing \nMental symptoms such as confusion and forgetfulness \nSevere and persistent diarrhea \nFever \nVision loss \nNausea, abdominal cramps, and vomiting \nWeight loss and extreme fatigue \nSevere headaches \nComa \nChildren with AIDS may get the same opportunistic infections as do adults with the disease. In addition, they also have severe forms of the bacterial infections all children may get, such as conjunctivitis (pink eye), ear infections, and tonsillitis. \n\nPeople with AIDS are particularly prone to developing various cancers, especially those caused by viruses such as Kaposi's sarcoma and cervical cancer, or cancers of the immune system known as lymphomas. These cancers are usually more aggressive and difficult to treat in people with AIDS. Signs of Kaposi's sarcoma in light-skinned people are

HIV can be transsmited only by blood or seminal fluids. Hope u understand this. If u eat semen or vagunal fluid u can get it

We don't really use the term "full blown AIDS" anymore.  Most often we look at T-cell counts.  T-cells are in your blood.  They are part of the immune system.  They are what identify things that make you sick.  HIV attacks T-cells and eventually kills them all off.\n\nWe also look at something called a "viral load."  It simply tells how much of the virus is in your blood.\n\nThe lower your T-cells are, and the higher your viral load is - the sicker you may become.\n\nIf a person with AIDS takes their medications they can live a long and healthy life.  I have known people with less than 10 T-cells who have been relatively healthy for a few years.  There are medications that can prevent other types of infections that affect people with AIDS too.\n\nSo, how long can you live? No one really knows.  With medications, people with AIDS can live long and healthy lives.\n\nFor someone with a badly damaged immune system and not recieving medical care - a common cold or the flu can lead to other infections that eventually could kill the person.

ok heres the BIG misunderstanding about aids...aids isnt a killer...what it does it this...aids will supress your bodies immune defense system to the point of where your body cant protect itself against anything..even the smalled infection could make someone with aids very very sick..as to where it wouldnt affect a non-aids person at all...so yea, aids isnt really a horrible disease its just it allows other things to kill you much faster and in much less amounts...

Humans have a closed circulatory system.  It is when the blood is contain in the veins and arteries.  Where the arteries take blood to the body and the veins take it directly back.  In an open system the heart pumps blood out into an open area where the blood just flows over the different body parts and then comes back to the heart on its own.  An open circulatory system is extremely inefficient and a lower form of evolution.

Circulation affects every part of the human anatomy.  Circulation is critical for erections of the tool.  Actually, for us guys, when we want blood attention to where we focus it, it gets there.  So relax and enjoy what you have.  We guys are made to be healthy.

Arteries\n\nThere are two major kinds of blood vessels, veins and arteries. arteries run from the heart to all the other body parts, and the heart pumps fresh blood into the arteries. All the cells in the body draw nourishment and oxygen from this blood and leave out waste and carbon dioxide. The veins then carry this impure blood back to the heart. The blood that goes to the lungs brings back extra oxygen and the liver and the small intestine play a major role in introducing nourishment into the blood stream

The Circulation of Blood\n\nThe human circulatory system is really a two-part system whose purpose is to bring oxygen-bearing blood to all the tissues of the body. When the heart contracts it pushes the blood out into two major loops or cycles. In the systemic loop, the blood circulates into the body’s systems, bringing oxygen to all its organs, structures and tissues and collecting carbon dioxide waste. In the pulmonary loop, the blood circulates to and from the lungs, to release the carbon dioxide and pick up new oxygen. The systemic cycle is controlled by the left side of the heart, the pulmonary cycle by the right side of the heart. Let’s look at what happens during each cycle:\n\nThe systemic loop begins when the oxygen-rich blood coming from the lungs enters the upper left chamber of the heart, the left atrium. As the chamber fills, it presses open the mitral valve and the blood flows down into the left ventricle. When the ventricles contract during a heartbeat, the blood on the left side is forced into the aorta. This largest artery of the body is an inch wide. The blood leaving the aorta brings oxygen to all the body’s cells through the network of ever smaller arteries and capillaries. The used blood from the body returns to the heart through the network of veins. All of the blood from the body is eventually collected into the two largest veins: the superior vena cava, which receives blood from the upper body, and the inferior vena cava, which receives blood from the lower body region. Both venae cavae empty the blood into the right atrium of the heart.\n\nFrom here the blood begins its journey through the pulmonary cycle. From the right atrium the blood descends into the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve. When the ventricle contracts, the blood is pushed into the pulmonary artery that branches into two main parts: one going to the left lung, one to the right lung. The fresh, oxygen-rich blood returns to the left atrium of the heart through the pulmonary veins.\n\nAlthough the circulatory system is made up of two cycles, both happen at the same time. The contraction of the heart muscle starts in the two atria, which push the blood into the ventricles. Then the walls of the ventricles squeeze together and force the blood out into the arteries: the aorta to the body and the pulmonary artery to the lungs. Afterwards, the heart muscle relaxes, allowing blood to flow in from the veins and fill the atria again. In healthy people the normal (resting) heart rate is about 72 beats per minute, but it can go much higher during strenuous exercise. Scientists have estimated that it takes about 30 seconds for a given portion of the blood to complete the entire cycle: from lungs to heart to body, back to the heart and out to the lungs.\n\n^_^

Human immunodeficiency virus, commonly known by the initialism HIV, formerly known as HTLV-III and lymphadenopathy-associated virus, is a retrovirus that primarily infects vital components of the human immune system such as CD4+ T cells, macrophages and dendritic cells. It also directly and indirectly destroys CD4+ T cells. As CD4+ T cells are required for the proper functioning of the immune system, when enough CD4+ T cells have been destroyed by HIV, the immune system functions poorly, leading to the syndrome known as AIDS. HIV also directly attacks organs, such as the kidneys, the heart and the brain leading to acute renal failure, cardiomyopathy, dementia and encephalopathy. Many of the problems faced by people infected with HIV result from failure of the immune system to protect from opportunistic infections and cancers.\n\nHIV is transmitted through direct contact of a mucous membrane with a bodily fluid containing HIV, such as blood, semen, vaginal fluid, preseminal fluid or breast milk. This transmission can come in the form of: penetrative (anal or vaginal) sex; oral sex; blood transfusion; contaminated needles; exchange between mother and infant during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding; or other exposure to one of the above bodily fluids.\n\nAIDS is thought to have originated in sub-Saharan Africa during the twentieth century [13] and is now a pandemic. At the end of 2004, UNAIDS estimated that nearly 40 million people were currently living with HIV [14]. The World Health Organization estimated that the AIDS epidemic had claimed more than 3 million people and that 5 million people had acquired HIV in the same year. Currently it is estimated that 28 million people have died and that it is set to infect 90 million people in Africa, resulting in a minimum estimate of 18 million orphans in Africa alone

Blood supplies oxygen to all the parts of the body, thus enabling all the organs and systems to continue to function. Without blood and the movement of it through your body, your body would shut down due to oxygen deprivation. The respiratory system provides the oxygen via breathing and then sends it everywhere via the cardio(heart) vascular(veins and arteries) system. Blood supplies the nutrients we eat via the digestive systems and removes all the wastes. The human body is an amazing invention if you really think about it and blood is the biggest part of the body and even counts as a body in homicide cases where the actual body can't be found. Good luck in your classes.

the circulatory system (ie the blood circulatory system) can maintain the temperature of the body by vaso-dilation and vaso constriction of the blood vessels ( both deepseated and superficial) when there is cold or the weather is hot respectively.

well,u asked the NORMAL QUANTITIES THEN IT WILL BE THE NEUTROPHILS because aids virus destroys the helper t-lymphocytes after invading the body.neutrophils just remains nearly same

When the HIV compromised immune system progresses to the stage of AIDs, the bodies natural ability to produce antibodies to fight off infection can become compromised to the point that death can occur even from the common cold.
