Testing for HIV

The modern phenomenon HIV/Aids became evident and has led to the deaths of more than 25 million people since it was first recognized in 1981, making it one of the most destructive epidemics in recorded history. HIV is a retro virus which can lead to Aids in which the immune system begins to fail leading to life-threatening infections we ordinarily would be able to fight naturally.

Infection with HIV occurs through the transfer of blood, semen, vaginal fluid, pre-ejaculate, and breast milk and it is vital that anyone who may have been exposed is tested for the infection in order that antiretroviral treatment can be administered. The test for the infection can be quick and simple and with a blood test and other methods a result is possible within 60 seconds. There are many testing centres in London, which because of its cosmopolitan and changing society has a greater number of sufferers than other parts of the country. Mothers are at high risk but proper management can reduce the risk of transmission of passing this virus on to her child.

Some STD facts

Sexually transmitted infections are not a new phenomena it is known that they have been around for centuries but it is true that there has been an increase in these infections over the past fifty years, so it is vital to know quickly if you think you may have been exposed to one of the many that can be passes on through sexual activity.

Many STI’s may not show immediate symptoms and you could be totally unaware that you are carrying the problem.  Because of this, perhaps the main reason people worry about having a sexually transmitted disease is the risk of infecting another partner unknowingly. More seriously there are medical reasons why you should be tested as soon as you become aware, or if you are sexually active with a number of different partners, you should be tested frequently. Being tested in major centres such as through one of the London testing clinics is simple and is entirely confidential, where your mind can be put at rest and if required, a course of treatment started.

High cholesterol

If you are over 50 years of age and more importantly male you are likely to have an increasing level of high cholesterol, few men in that category escape the problem. Cholesterol is the build up of a waxy, fat-like substance among the lipids, otherwise known as fats, in the bloodstream and in all your body’s cells. There are two kinds of cholesterol, the bad of LDL and good which we need known as HDL.

Taking a simple medication such as Crestor, supplied by UK Medix, acts in the liver blocking the production of LDL’s whilst raising the levels of HDL’s. This product from well respected manufacturer Astra Zeneca can help to reduce the chances of developing hardening of the arteries as well as reducing the chances of experiencing a heart attack or stroke. To get the most benefit from Crestor it is recommended to keep a diet low in saturated fats and to exercise regularly.

How common are sexually transmitted infections

Other diseases such as Syphilis have seen an increase by a massive fifty fold. HIV presents another problem as more and more people are becoming infected, it is known that as many as 1 in 3 people infected with the disease do not know that they have the problem.

As many sexually transmitted infections do not show immediate symptoms, it is more than possible that the person is unaware of the infection and because of this it is possible to infect a partner without knowing it. For this and for the possibility of medical risk it is important, especially for the sexually active, to be tested regularly. Tests take place at numerous centres in London and also in other major British towns also, these are completely confidential, so why take chances?
