Antiretroviral drugs for the treatment of HIV-positive people will soon be released in Belarus. Until now, such funds had to be purchased abroad, which seriously increased the cost of treatment. According to various forecasts, antiretroviral therapy will now become 10-20% cheaper. The first Belarusian-made antiretroviral drugs will be available in pharmacies in 2-3 years. So far, packaging of such funds has been established at Belarusian facilities.
HIV-positive people are currently being treated with funds provided by the Global Fund to Fight AIDS. However, work is already underway to switch this program to government funding. As of January 2013, 4,276 HIV–diagnosed patients were included in the State program, of which 154 were minors. This is reported by the report of the Ministry of Health "On the epidemiological situation in the Republic of Belarus in 2012", published recently.
The number of HIV infections detected annually in the Republic of Belarus is just over a thousand. The greatest risk of infection is for patients aged 15 to 29 years. The virus is mainly transmitted through unprotected sexual intercourse. The absolute majority of HIV-infected people in the Republic of Belarus are men (more than 60%).
According to the Ministry of Health, over the past year, HIV/AIDS and related diseases caused the deaths of four hundred people. The problem for HIV-infected people is serious deficiencies in their natural immunity. Thus, for an HIV-positive person, any disease, whether it's a cold or the flu, can be fatal. At the same time, timely treatment makes it possible to practically eliminate such an outcome. Modern antiretroviral therapy allows HIV patients to live a full life for many years.
Car exhaust is against the heart
Recently, the results of studies were published that were devoted to identifying the relationship between the area of residence in terms of the amount of exhaust fumes and the number of cardiovascular diseases.
It has long been known that the amount of exhaust fumes is not conducive to good health. However, the experiments conducted have proved with all responsibility that exposure to automobile exhaust leads to a loss of vascular elasticity, which, in turn, leads not only to a deterioration in well-being, but even to death.
Among other things, a decrease in vascular elasticity leads to problems with blood pressure and with the work of the heart as a whole.
However, automobile exhaust not only reduces the elasticity of blood vessels, but also leads to a significant increase in the number of various accumulations on the walls of blood vessels, which can cause blockage of blood vessels and, again, death.
