CLINICAL MEDICINE

Detailed explanation-1: -An asymptomatic carrier is a person or other organism that has become infected with a pathogen, but shows no signs or symptoms.

Detailed explanation-2: -Most people who get HIV get it through anal or vaginal sex, or sharing needles, syringes, or other drug injection equipment (for example, cookers). But there are powerful tools that can help prevent HIV transmission.

Detailed explanation-3: -Through saliva, tears, or sweat. By hugging, shaking hands, sharing toilets, sharing dishes, or closed-mouth or “social” kissing with someone who has HIV. Through other sexual activities that don’t involve the exchange of body fluids (for example, touching).

Detailed explanation-4: -In general, HIV-1 is being discussed when HIV is being referred to without clarification. HIV-2 is less easily transmitted and less commonly occurring, appearing mostly in West Africa or in individuals who have had contact with those infected with HIV-2 from West Africa.

Detailed explanation-5: -A person with HIV can pass the virus on to others even if they do not have any symptoms. People with HIV can pass the virus on more easily in the weeks following infection. HIV treatment significantly reduces the risk of someone with HIV passing it on.
