What is HIV?

Human Immunodeficiency Virus, or HIV, is a virus that is responsible for a significant weakening of the immune system. Someone with HIV is therefore very susceptible to infections and diseases, as the immune system is broken down little by little.

It is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) that cannot be completely cured. Without treatment, HIV infection can lead to AIDS. AIDS, or Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, is not hereditary. The immune system of AIDS patients is almost completely weakened.

Unfortunately, CBD oil cannot cure this unpleasant condition, but according to research and experience of countless users, you can use CBD to relieve the symptoms of (the treatment of) HIV. Below you can read more about the effectiveness of CBD oil in HIV.

Symptoms of HIV

Not everyone gets complaints and the duration can also differ per person. For one, the complaints last for years, while the other goes away in no time. If you are not treated for the infection, you can get AIDS. Your body is getting weaker and weaker; the protective layer against external attacks is weakened.

HIV can spread in several ways through specific body fluids, including blood, semen, breast milk, and rectal and vaginal fluids. The most common symptoms of someone infected with HIV include:

• Fatigue;
• Sore throat;
• Mouth wounds;
• A fever;
• Swollen lymph nodes;
• Night sweats;
• Decreased appetite;
• Muscle strain;
• Chills.

Contamination

The way you can get infected with HIV is through unprotected sex. The virus enters your body through the mucous membranes of the penis, vagina, mouth or anus. The risk of infection is also higher when it comes to anal sex. Use condoms as much as possible during sex, especially with strangers.

You can also get the virus through a wound on the skin, a blood transfusion or during an organ transplant. If you are pregnant and have HIV, the baby can also become infected with the virus during pregnancy or birth if the woman is left untreated.

Origin of HIV

HIV originated in Central Africa, originally in chimpanzee populations. The virus used to be called the ‘simian immunodeficiency virus’ (SIV), but when chimpanzees were hunted, the transmission from animals to humans started. It is probably sometime in the 19th century.

HIV in the Netherlands

According to figures from 2022, an average of 24,000 people are living with HIV in the Netherlands. Of these, at least 1,640 do not yet know that they are infected, of which 95% are infected with the virus, a treatment may prove successful. In 2020, there was still a registration of 21,517 HIV-positive people.

Each year, an average of 500 to 900 people are told to live with HIV. The number is decreasing every year, with 750 new registrations in 2018 to 411 in 2020. The virus mainly occurs in men who have sex with other men (86%).

Mediations against HIV

People with HIV are usually prescribed HIV inhibitors or antiviral medications after diagnosis, including entrance inhibitors, reverse transcriptase inhibitors, integrase inhibitors, protease inhibitors. However, with long-term use, patients suffer from unpleasant side effects. Research shows that medicinal cannabis can effectively treat these side effects so that you experience less discomfort. However, check with your doctor first to check if you are taking any medications.

The endocannabinoïd system

Every human (and animal) has its own endocannabinoid system (ECS). This ECS is responsible for several significant bodily functions, including pain regulation, appetite, sleep, emotions, hormonal balance, and the like. By supplementing the ECS with CBD oil, the ECS is supported. The cannabinoids from the CBD oil are considered by the ECS to be the body’s own.

Another 2017 study shows that CBD prevents HIV from developing into AIDS. Cannabinoids may inhibit the spread of the virus by preventing specific cells from becoming infected, according to a 2012 study.
