An Audit on HIV Infection

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a retrovirus which stores its genetic information in single-stranded RNA and which causes AIDS and HIV Infection. In Acquired Immunodeficiency syndrome the patient's immune system collapses, and the patient may be prone to infecting bacteria, viruses, and fungi. HIV may be transmitted through body fluids of infected patient body fluids including blood, seminal fluid, vaginal fluid, and breast milk. CD4 Cells, T-cells, and macrophages get infected by the human immunodeficiency virus HIV. This Infection results in low levels of T cells by programmed cell death of T cells which is associated with antimicrobial response during inflammation.

The manifestations of Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome are due to opportunistic infection caused by other microorganisms naturally managed by person immune systems damaged by HIV infection. The rate of HIV transmission decreases with the condoms; it gives a comparable level of assurance. Human Immunodeficiency Virus transmission can be prevented among health care workers by wearing necessary personal protective equipment. The universal body fluid and blood precautions should be followed for all such invasive procedures. Face shields, gloves, and gowns are meant to be worn whenever performing invasive procedures. Laboratory workers should use safety cabins for handling specimens or doing lab procedures. Mouth pipetting should be avoided, and Automatic pipetting tools should be used. The work surfaces of the Laboratory ought to be cleaned with suitable disinfectant after spilling of sample. If the laboratory machine or devices are ,infected, they should be sterilized or cleaned with Disinfect before to fixing. After finishing laboratory testing or work, the laboratory workers should remove their protective equipment, wash their hands, and leave their protective equipment in the Laboratory.
