Iran-Made Nano Kits Able to Diagnose HIV
“Iranian knowledge-based companies have effectively contributed to the diagnosis and control of AIDS disease by producing special nano kits,” Associate Professor of Infectious Diseases Department of Tehran University of Medical Sciences Ladan Abbasian told ANA.
She explained that AIDS disease or HIV virus is transmitted to humans through sexual intercourse, mucous or thick skin contact with infected blood, and contact with infected secretions of a patient.
Abbasian added that the Iran-made kits to diagnose HIV virus have been produced at a low cost in the country and they are easily accessed under the supervision of the health ministry.
HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a virus that attacks the body's immune system. If HIV is not treated, it can lead to AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). There is currently no effective cure. Once people get HIV, they have it for life. But with proper medical care, HIV can be controlled.
For transmission of a virus to occur, a virus must enter a host through a portal of entry, replicate or disseminate within the host, and be transmitted to a new host through a portal of exit.
