Treatment could have prevented his death, he had not been abroad that much and I had not frequented foreign women The first AIDS patient At first he was only seropositive Specialists explain TIRANA — “Where was he infected with AIDS or as a seropositive person?” — is the question everyone asks themselves. To put it as simply as possible, it is difficult to state, even by the patient himself, where he may have been infected. In the laboratory this is absolutely impossible. Prof. Dr. Pali Misha, head of the infectious diseases ward at QSUT, answers our question briefly. “He was a sailor and also went ashore. He sailed the seas. He had his own experiences.” TIRANA — Our specialists affirm that the first AIDS patient may have been infected abroad, while his relatives say that he led an honest family life. According to doctors, the patient had been under observation for several years as seropositive and only later did the disease appear. They add that treatment in the early stages could have prolonged his life, but poor conditions and lack of opportunities worsened his state. According to Prof. Dr. Pali Misha and other specialists, tracing the source of infection is very difficult, especially when the patient worked as a sailor and traveled often outside Albania. On the other hand, family members insist that he did not frequent foreign women and that he was a disciplined man in everyday life. The case has caused great concern in public opinion, but doctors call for prejudice to be avoided and for prevention rules to be followed carefully.

Here is the difference between a sick person and a seropositive person Specialists explain TIRANA — AIDS — acquired immune deficiency syndrome, is a syndrome caused by the HIV virus, while seropositivity indicates the presence of this virus in the body without the full disease having appeared. Specialists explain that a person may remain seropositive for years without necessarily progressing to the final stage of the disease. SYMPTOMS — a seropositive person may or may not have visible signs. A person with AIDS, on the other hand, shows a marked decline in immunity, general weakness, recurring infections, and weight loss. TREATMENT — a seropositive person needs continuous monitoring, counseling, and protection from infections; a person with AIDS requires more specialized treatment and more intensive support. SPREAD — both conditions are linked to the same virus, and preventive measures are essential to limit its spread.
