Policy Process of HIV/AIDS
HIV
is a virus which can lead to AIDS and is a very serious disease affecting those
that are infected all over the United States and world. This virus cannot be controlled
from being passed around unless we take and follow the necessary process to
prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS. The disease has come a long way from the
initial discovery of the virus to all the research that has up until only
recently discovered a semi cure. The cure for HIV and AIDS has seen national
spot light recently with recent forward progress into the cure.
HIV/AIDS
Human Immunodeficiency
Virus known as HIV is a virus which can lead to AIDS which is referred to
Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. In the immune system which is the body’s
help in defending and fighting off infections and diseases, the T cells known
as CD4 cells get attack by this virus call HIV. If HIV the
infection is to spread which then worsens and spreads to a more serious
condition Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome ("The Immune System Is Your Body’s
Natural ", 2012). This is a very serious health challenge that one has to
fight. Some systems that may arise are mouth
or genital ulcers, muscle soreness, fever, rash, diarrhea, headache, night
seats, sore throat, joint pain, and swollen lymph gland, mainly on the neck.
When all the CD4 cells have been destroyed when the body is now no longer being
able to fight off disease is more likely and pretty common for the HIV to
progress to AIDS (Mayo clinic staff, 2012).
How you can get infected with HIV/AIDS and
how it spreads.
It has be said to believe that HIV began
in Africa from a species of monkeys and chimps it was believed that during the
season of hunting and butchering the monkey the infected monkey or chimps blood
was then transmitted to humans. When this disease transmitted over it turn into
HIV in the human body. The main things that cause this infection are the
contamination of blood, vaginal secretions or semen entering the body. These
type of acts that could cause this to happen would be through blood
transfusion, during sex, passed from mother to child during childbirth or
breast feeding and through sharing needles. HIV cannot be passed through shaking
hands, kissing, hugging, or dancing (Mayo clinic staff, 2012).
How HIV takes a toll on the worldwide
nations and its populations.
HIV/Aids starting affecting the world way over
many years ago and this infection are still affecting Americans and children
all over the world. There are 2.1
million children today that are infected with HIV and the number grows each
year it is said that 370,000 will become infected ("Join Are Fight against
Aids", 2013). The world is
continuing to look and search for ways and opportunities in reducing the spread
of HIV/AIDS. The world needs to continue looking for ways,
in reducing and the spreading of new forms of infections or new forms of HIV. It
is important to keep everyone informed and keep our children safe.
How HIV/AIDS is impacting the economy as a
whole.
HIV/AIDS is affecting over 34
million people today worldwide. Close to
7000 people are infected every day. The
number of children each year infected with this is 330,000. Only have of the
people decide to go for treatment because of eligibility. Others share their
stories reaching to others to put up a fight against HIV/AIDS. Some tell their
stories which I believe is inspirational and may help others to get the help
need and help those who don’t have the eligibility. There was inspiration hearing that in 2011 the
number drops 900 per day of new infection from spreading. There is cures is all
about finding the cure and willing to stand and put up the fight. There is hope
and people have to believe and we need those to help us believe there is hope
and inspiration ("It Starts with Me ", (n.d).
HIV
transferred from human to human
HIV is not really easy to get not
like your common cold it has to be passed from vaginal fluids, blood semen, or
breast milk. Not everyone will get HIV just because they have been exposed; you
have to have a single exposure to that individual. Even the encounter of
sharing a needle from an HIV infected individual could be at very great risk of
getting infected. If a person already
has a STD they are at higher risk of getting HIV or spreading it to a
partner. A partner should be well
informed if they have an STD or HIV right from the start before encountering
sex with someone, the other person deserves the right to know if that other
person is infected with a sexually transmitted disease or HIV/AIDS. It is
important to stay protected and do not share needles with others ("Transmission",
2005).
Policy of the implantation process
There
are three stages that are implemented in the policy process these three stages
are the process of the decision, the policy formulation, and the process of
action actually taking process which is called implementation. The thing to know from the document of the
policy is this is it is not specific on polices, strategies, goals, objectives,
they are not that flexible to show the future only time can tell ("How Is
Policy Implemented ", 1998-2004).
Decision- Making
This
is not where you will find the results it is we you will find the initial
thought of what should be done why and how it should be done. This needs a strong team that is effective and
will lay out a great framework that will strongly presume the objectives and
the operational plan against HIV following the policy ("How Is Policy
Implemented ", 1998-2004).
Legislative
stage
The
legislative stage helps the process of a national response. This will help the HIV issue be addressed,
tested, and may even need protection in safeguard. With this all to take place a functioning
legislative process must be in place that will uphold the law and the subject
in matter and produce the procedure needed to take action. An example would be where
the government may create plans for HIV/AIDS ("How Is Policy Implemented
", 1998-2004).
Implementation stage
In
this process the course of action that was planned and set out will fall into
place and action is being severed. An
effective team setting the fight against HIV by supporting the cause and
informing the public and staying educated and keeping others informed of all
what is new. In this stage a government cannot delicate the HIV/AIDS process he
or she is not in the position to do that ("How Is Policy Implemented
", 1998-2004).
Closing
As
you look at the world and society things have changed so much by increasing the
chance of several with all the new medicines and technology provide with the
cost of a higher price. HIV has grown each year all over the world. HIV is
involving and only we can try to not only stop it but the cause of it spreading
by keeping those informed. Let’s make a
changing this world by stating to fight against these types of diseases. Stand
for each other and make a difference and a change. Nothing can replace the
precious gift of life, save the people and find a cure and put up a fight.
