HIV

HIV is the Human Immunodeficiency Virus. It is a virus that gets into a person’s cells. HIV affects the immune system, specifically the T-Cells or CD4 cells which fight infection. Simply put, the virus destroys the T-cells so that the immune system of a person with untreated HIV infection is not able to fight off diseases and infections.

AIDS/HIV in Ayurveda considered as Ojakhasaya means the loss of vital energy or immunity. The symptoms, signs, and causative factors (Nidana) and the treatment aspect has been described in many ayurvedic samhitas like Charaka samhita, Shushruta samhita, Chakradutta, etc. We all know about doshas vata, pitta, and kapha which is the pillar of our body. if dosha is vitiated it creates different disorders at different places in the body according to different causative factors which are mentioned in texts. one should treat a disorder by keeping in mind the specific nature of the disease its place and its mode of occurrence (1) According to Charaka it is clear that the name of the disease is not so important as correct diagnosis and therapy

.accordingly it can be regarded that though the name of AIDS is not seen in ayurvedic texts, similar conditions described in Ayurveda, known as Pratiloma kshaya arising from sexually transmitted disease stimulates AIDS(2).

MODE OF TRANSMISSION

HIV is present in the blood, semen, and other body fluid like breast milk, and saliva. Exposer to infected fluid leads to a risk of acquiring infection which is dependent on –

 (a) the integrity of the exposed site,

(b) the type and volume of body fluid, and

(c) the viral load of the infected fluid. (10)

The major mode of transmission is (in our country):

• Sexual contact > 85%.
