How Is HIV Passed From One Person to Another?

Condition analysis:
The most common ways that someone can get HIV are by:
-- Having sex (anal, vaginal, or oral) with a person who has HIV
-- Sharing drug needles with someone who has HIV

Women with HIV can pass it to their babies before or during birth, and through breastfeeding.

Instructions:
The herbs with antiviral properties serve as the supporting therapies for the patients with HIV. These herbs show an anti-HIV activity in test tubes.
 
The Epigallocatechin-3-gallate element in green tea, for example, inhibits the replication of the virus thus providing the antiviral actions. Similar actions are noted with the chemicals in olive leaves.
 
Ginseng is maintaining the CD4+ T cell counts in HIV-1 infected patients and some studies have shown that it has a potential to increase them, too.
 
Viola yedoensis, andrographis paniculata, lithospermum erythrorhizon, and alternanthera philoxeroides are also beneficial in reducing the percentage of infected cells. Trichosanthin (TCS) is an active protein component isolated from Tian-Hua-Fen. It has been shown to inhibit HIV infection and has been used in the clinical treatment of AIDS, too.
 
The virus-related conditions are handled with the herbs of corresponding properties: ginkgo is used for the HIV-related dementia, greater celandine – for Kaposi's sarcoma, aloe vera – for skin problems, and lemon balm solves the problems with herpes simplex and insomnia.
