Understanding the Difference between Aids
and HIV
Since its discovery, medical researchers and
scientists have searched for an effective
method of treating AIDS (Acquired Immuno Deficiency
Syndrome) and HIV (Human Immunodeficiency
Virus).
Being diagnosed as HIV positive does not mean
that an individual has AIDS.
A person diagnosed with AIDS is considered
in the final stages of HIV infection, which
severely damages the body's immune system,
placing them at extreme risk of all types
of infections.
Treating AIDS and HIV with Stem Cell Therapy
The focus of most HIV treatments is to get
the virus under control, improve patients'
immune system function and overall health
and wellness.
Today, advancements in stem cell technologies
are improving control of viral and opportunistic
infections, as well as treating the decreased
immune system function through fetal or embryonic
stem cell treatments.
A stem cell research facility in Ukraine has
nearly two decades of experience in treating
AIDS and HIV with positive results.
According to studies performed by the facility,
fetal stem cell transplants help restore and
support the immune system function and slow
the progression of infections and side effects
of the disease process.
Such treatments help prevent patients from
slipping into the last stage of HIV known
as AIDS.
In other areas around the globe, HIV patients
have also experienced positive results from
stem cell transplants, including a man who
underwent a stem cell transplant at the Charity
University of Medicine in Berlin, Germany.
Two years following the transplant, the individual
is not showing any signs of HIV.
In addition, scientists and researchers at
the University of California Los Angeles are
working on and antiviral treatment utilizing
stem cells that may hold the possibility of
immunizing people against the virus.
