Anti-retrovirale medikasie is die behandeling vir ‘n MIV infeksie. Dit verhoog die CD4-telling en versterk die immuunstelsel. Dit genees nie die siekte nie, maar vertraag die vordering daarvan.
Antiretroviral medication is the treatment for HIV. It increases the CD4 count and strengthens the immune system. It does not cure the disease but slows down its progress.
Wat is opportunitiese infeksies en hoe hou dit met MIV verband?
What are opportunistic infections and how does it relate to HIV?
Wanneer die MIV-siekte gevorderd is, is die persoon se immuunstelsel baie swak. Die persoon is dan vatbaar vir infeksies [wat nie in gesonde mense voorkom nie.] Hierdie infeksies is opportunistiese infeksies [omdat dit voordeel trek uit ‘n swak immuunstelsel].
When HIV infection is advanced, the person’s immune system is very weak. The person is susceptible to infections that would normally not occur in healthy individuals. These infections are opportunistic because they benefit from / take advantage of a weak immune system.
