With due respect, nawasalimu wote katika jina la Bwana. Likewise kwa ndugu zangu wa kiislamu, Asalaam Alleykum.
Ever since the existence of HIV/AIDS in our lovely planet, there are some concerns that always crack my mind, and I really get puzzled! Ni kuhusu hizi HIV Test Kits as regards to HIV diagnosis in human bodies. Napenda sana kujifunza vitu, so madaktari inawahusu sana hii.
To whoever mwenye uelewa, naomba mnieleweshe (na kwa faida ya wengine pia) kwenye mambo yafuatayo:
a) Je vifaa vyote vya kupimia HIV, vinatumia ''ANTIBODIES'' pekee ili kudetect HIV infections ktk mwili? Yaani is 'ANTIBODIES'' only the determinant/agent for confirming the HIV presence in the body?
b) If YES to the (a) above, why hivyo vifaa haviwezi kudetect the HIV directly? Yaani why hivyo vifaa (HIV-Test Tools) haviwezi kutrace the Virus itself, rather than basing on the antibodies? OR ni kwa sababu kwamba all virus-related infections can be only detected by basing on antibodies only?
c) Uelewa wangu mdogo ni kwamba Human Beings tuna natural Immunity Systems kwenye miili yetu, and the primary role of such natural immunity ni kuproduce 'antibodies' to fight-off a disease infection(s) that enters the body. The strength of such Immunity varies from person to person, due to nutrition factors; life style; etc. Pia nafahamu kwamba wanadamu tuna a lot of viruses and bacteria kwenye miili yetu, though hatuugui. Mfano, niliwahi kusoma a medical Article kwamba almost kila mtu ana bacteria wa TB mwilini mwake, whenever your body Immunity becomes weak, ndo hapo unaanza kuugua TB. So all viruses or bacterias or whatever harm in the body... they do primarily depend on vulnerability of the body Immunity. Nadhania hivyo.
Now the question is: Immunity huwa inaproduce izo 'antibodies' to ALL disease infectios that enter the body?? Yaani does the Immunity System react and produce antibodies to ANY/ALL infections? OR kuna baadhi tu ya diseases/infections ambazo ndo Immunity ina-react na kutoa antibodies?
d) If the body Immunity reacts and/or produces the 'antibodies' to ANY/ALL disease infections, do the 'antibodies' differ from infection to infection? Yaani mfano: antibodies for Ebola Virus infections are different from antibodies for HIV infections??
e) If NO to the (d) above, then it means that the allegedly produced 'antibodies' are of ONE TYPE (ONE STRUCTURE) WITH SAME FEATURES, WITH SAME PARTICLES, for ANY/ALL disease infections in the body. Now... why is HIV-diagnosis being based on 'antibodies' only? while other disease infections (not HIV) are also an avenue for the antibodies in the body.
Karibuni waungwana. Let's double-click our folder of thinking and share knowledges.
I humbly submit, and thanks in advance for reading.
N.B: I stand to be corrected!!!
