The campaign of anonymous HIV test

A medical institution in Podgorica (Dom zdravlja) organizes an anonymous voluntary HIV test, and anyone can consult with a doctor. The action will be held from 24 to 27 November.

The event is organized on the occasion of the European HIV testing week, which takes place in the last week of November.

The HIV test will be available at the youth counseling department of Savjetovališté za mlade, from 17:00 to 21:00.

Thanks to modern medical products, people with HIV positive result can work perfectly normally, however, they are often victims of discrimination and must resist against prejudice.

HIV should be talked about and informed by the public, because thanks to modern medicines, to date, this infection can be controlled. The medicine helps to reduce the number of viral particles in the blood of a person, affects the proportion of the risk of infection. Thus, the medicine helps to get the probability of a smaller share of the risk that, for example, a pregnant woman will infect an infant both during childbirth (through the blood) and during breastfeeding (through breast milk). Moreover, infection can occur from an infected baby to a healthy mother, a woman, through biting the baby by the breast of a woman while breastfeeding (contact the mucous membrane - the blood). Currently, complex treatment therapy is most often used, most often it includes up to three different types of medications. Therapies often change, therefore, through therapy and treatment, people infected with HIV can live more than 50 years.

HIV is a very dangerous and terrible infection, there is almost no manifestation, there are no obvious symptoms, it can only be determined by doing an HIV test. Infection occurs through contact with the mucous membrane, through the blood, with any biological fluids of the infected person. In addition to unprotected sex acts with an infected person, oral and anal sex, HIV can be transmitted through contact with damaged skin, mucous membranes. HIV is not transmitted by airborne droplets.

Many people may not know that they have HIV, since it can develop for 10 or even 12 years. Sometimes, from the stage of HIV infection, it may be years before the stage of AIDS. Rarely, but symptoms may occur: fever, lymphadenopathy, sore throat. These symptoms also apply to common catarrhal diseases, so people often do not take them seriously. In an infected person, these symptoms go away quickly, which means that the virus has moved on to the next stage. While the infection develops, the human immune system weakens - the AIDS disease begins.

The United Nations declared December 1 the World AIDS Day, which is celebrated every year.
