Hair losses in adults due to HIV

Relating extreme hair loss to HIV is a matter that is confusing to many. Hair loss used to occur as a side effect of select HIV medicines that are used in antiretroviral therapy very rarely today. When you are being screened for HIV positive and experience a hair loss, it may not be directly linked with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus. Loss of hair was a common side effect of early HIV drugs including AZT, Crixivan, and Atripla. Yet today such drugs are used less regularly. Despite reports of some case studies, modern-day antiretroviral therapy generally does not cause hair loss. HIV patients may be vulnerable to Telogen effluvium while the signs of the disease are yet to be thoroughly discovered by medical science. Telogen effluvium refers to a hair growth condition, or a hair follicle resting period. This can happen when the hair stops developing for a long period of time in an aging person. Thinning hair is a common part of aging and can occur other than HIV for reasons. Here we are going to discuss a variety of conditions that cause hair loss and how they could contribute to HIV. Telogenic effluvium may occur in the body due to mental or physical stress, an infection, a chronic disease, or even protein deficiency. All of these are causative factors of the infection that can be indirectly linked of HIV. Medical studies have revealed, for example, that a minority of patients with alopecia may characterize symptoms of the immune disorder. Besides that, people with HIV also sometimes tend to have other STDs and one such sexually transmitted disease, known as syphilis, leads to hair loss. As medical science has advanced over the years, many individuals nowadays tend to live as long as an average American tends to have diagnosed HIV positive in the early 20's. This also means that hormone-related symptoms of female and male baldness can appear as a natural ageing symptom. Men frequently lose hair and become bald-headed, it's 60 years old. HIV-related problems may be a compounding factor but there is no scientific evidence to suggest otherwise. Other likely causes of hair loss include iron deficiencies in premenopausal women as well as ageing. Any woman who goes through a time may develop the common symptom of iron deficiency anemia and experience hair loss due to blood loss. The common causes of hair loss other than this include thyroid disease, scalp infections such as ringworm, or hormonal imbalance. This review tells about the future scope of the new invention towards the field of HIV /AIDS and their medicinal treatment.
