Jackson, Jr. During the height of the epidemic in the United States, HIV was the eighth leading cause of death overall. By , the HIV mortality rate had peaked to its highest level ever, killing nearly 50, U.
Today, people with HIV who are diagnosed and treated early can expect to live normal to near-normal life expectancies. Even people clinically diagnosed with AIDS can enjoy longer, healthier lives once antiretroviral treatment is started. With that said, the lower your CD4 count is at the start of therapy, the less likely you will be to achieve complete immune recovery.
Even so, antiretroviral therapy can cut the risk of both HIV- and non-HIV-related illness by half if started early ideally before the CD4 count dips below What has changed is how the definition is used. Back in the s and earlys, the CDC definition of AIDS was used to establish when a person was eligible for Social Security disability and other forms of financial or medical assistance. Because an AIDS diagnosis was still associated with a high risk of death, having a CD4 count of was often enough to establish a person as permanently disabled.
The same criteria would not apply today. Because HIV is now considered a chronically managed condition, people who meet the definition of AIDS will need to undergo a case-by-case evaluation to determine if they are, in fact, disabled under the terms of the law. At the same time, doctors are using the term "AIDS" less and less today—in part because of the fluidity of the definition, but also because the prognosis for many AIDS-related conditions has improved dramatically over time.
If anything, the term is used more for surveillance purposes than anything else. On top of this, "AIDS" remains a highly stigmatized term , and, in its place, many doctors and advocates prefer the term "advanced HIV infection" when describing the stage of the disease. Antiretroviral therapy is the one intervention that can halt disease progression and reduce the risk of HIV-associated illness in people with HIV.
The drugs used today are not only more effective than those of the past, but also have fewer side effects and are less prone to early drug resistance. Some combination therapies have even been formulated to allow once-daily, single-pill dosing. But, the pills only work if you take them.
And, in the United States, this has become a far greater challenge than many people realize. Of the roughly 1. This leaves nearly a half million people vulnerable to otherwise avoidable illnesses. While stigma plays a key role in these statistics, the lack of access to quality healthcare and misconceptions about HIV and HIV therapy continue to drive people away from highly effective, life-saving treatment as well.
Improvement in public health messaging—as well as advances in HIV treatment—hope to reverse these trends. HIV is not the same disease it was even 15 years ago. Not only can they enjoy long, healthy lives, but they can even explore pregnancy and parenthood. And the benefits of treatment extend well beyond the person living with HIV.
By achieving and sustaining an undetectable viral load , the likelihood of infecting others is reduced to zero.
In short, by protecting your good health with consistent antiretroviral therapy , you also protect those around you. HIV is diagnosed with a blood test that is able to detect antibodies produced by the immune system in response to the virus. There are traditional in-office tests, rapid tests , and even at-home HIV tests.
HIV is treated with antiretroviral therapy. Antiretroviral therapy involves a combination of two or more drugs that block specific stages in the virus' life cycle. By blocking viral replication, the virus is suppressed to undetectable levels at which it can do little harm.
There are around 38 million people living with HIV worldwide. In , nearly , died as a result of HIV-related complications.
