Warning for people with HIV/ AIDS with the outbreak of Influenza: As of April 13 have been reported cases of seasonal influenza, these cases have occurred at the end of the normal flu season. The Secretary of Health has requested health care services monitor the cases occurring outside of the normal winter flu season.
General precautions for persons with HIV / AIDS.
Influenza is transmitted through droplets of saliva, and it is very important that during this alert the following precautions be taken:
Avoid going to hospitals and clinics so as to not have contact with those already infected.
Avoid contact with people who have flu-like illness. Avoid handshakes or greetings with kisses. Wash hands on a frequent basis.Stay away from, large groups of people and from poorly ventilated or crowded areas (schools, hospital waiting rooms, airplanes, buses, metro, movie theaters, bars, nightclubs, theaters, etc.). Vaccine Information: vaccines from inactivated influenza virus are not contraindicated if living with HIV or AIDS(Fluarix, Agripal S-1).
The live virus vaccine (Flu Mist) is contraindicated for persons with HIV or AIDS. If you received a vaccine during the period October to December 2008, you do not require further vaccination. If you were not vaccinated there is no need to be vaccinated at this time, however it is essential that you follow the advice prescribed by your doctor if symptoms occur. The following information should be considered in assessing whether it is necessary to visit a doctor. Influenza is a disease that is so sudden and may include the following symptoms:
fever (usually high) headache lethargy and tiredness (can be extreme) cough sore throat runny or stuffy nose muscle aches diarrhea and vomiting (more common in children than in adults) These symptoms do not always indicate that you have influenza. There are many other diseases, including common colds, which have similar symptoms. It is very difficult to distinguish the flu from other infections based only on symptoms, therefore in these cases there is a need for a consultation with a physician or other medical personnel to determine if you have influenza or other respiratory illness.
