In 1999, a strain of SIV (called SIVcpz) was found in a chimpanzee that was almost identical to HIV in humans. The researchers who discovered this connection concluded that it proved chimpanzees were the source of HIV-1, and that the virus had at some point crossed species from chimps to humans.3 The same scientists then conducted more research into how SIV could have developed in the chimps. They discovered that the chimps had hunted and eaten 2 smaller species of monkeys (red-capped mangabeys and greater spot-nosed monkeys) and became infected with 2 different strains of SIV. The two different SIV strains then joined together to form a third virus (SIVcpz) that could be passed on to other chimps. This is the strain that can also infect humans.

I am 23 years old. I had recently checked for a hepatitis C virus but the report was negative. However, I have seen a recent dip in my usual diet. Has this something to do with the hepatitis C virus?

There are more than 50 diseases that can cause dip in diet. You already have negative hepatitis C report so you should move on to something more appropriate. You can consult me through Lybrate.

Hpv is the most common sexually transmitted infection. Hpv is so common that nearly all sexually active men and women get it at some point in their lives. There are many different types of hpv. Some types can cause health problems including genital warts and cancers. But there are vaccines that can stop these health problems from happening. You can get hpv by having vaginal, anal, or oral sex with someone who has the virus. It is most commonly spread during vaginal or anal sex. Hpv can be passed even when an infected person has no signs or symptoms. Anyone who is sexually active can get hpv, even if you have had sex with only one person. You also can develop symptoms years after you have sex with someone who is infected making it hard to know when you first became infected. In most cases, hpv goes away on its own and does not cause any health problems. But when hpv does not go away, it can cause health problems like genital warts and cancer.

No, not at all. Relax. 1. Do saline gargles daily. 2. Whenever possible do steam inhalation also. 3. Cover your nose and mouth with hanky for at least 30 sec when you go in dusty areas also when you go in and out of ac. As our nose is the most sensitive part of our body, when there is temperature difference between two rooms or inside n outside, then if we not protect our nose, it gets affected. 4. Drink hot liquids --hot liquids relieve nasal congestion, prevent dehydration, and soothe the uncomfortably inflamed membranes that line your nose and throat. 5. Sleep with an extra pillow under your head-- elevating your head will help relieve congested nasal passages. If the angle is too awkward, try placing the pillows between the mattress and the box springs to create a more gradual slope. 6. Treat that stuffy nose with warm salt water-- salt-water rinsing helps break nasal congestion, while also removing virus particles and bacteria from your nose. 7. Blow your nose often (and the right way)-- it's important to blow your nose regularly when you have a cold rather than sniffling mucus back into your head. But when you blow hard, pressure can carry germ-carrying phlegm back into your ear passages, causing earache. The best way to blow your nose: press a finger over one nostril while you blow gently to clear the other. Homeopathic treatment has very encouraging results. Consult online for details.

I do smoking from last 6 year, so I want to know do I have high risk for corona virus and if a virus affect to a smoker its curable or not?

Hello, indirectly smoking may cause your immunity system down. It is widely accepted that due to low immunity, covid19 may affect people. You might have heard that many people will get recovered faster soon after the the disease, that is mainly because of their immunity system. For every act that you do, you may need to do a counter act. If smoking is non stoppable, it is better you take care of your respiratory health and you may consume some ayurvedic medicines to boost your immunity system. Thanks and regards.

Hey. Its still not properly studied yet .we consider 21 days from the onset of symptoms for isolation of positive patients. Recovery time can be 3-6 weeks so take good care of him. Isolation is the only way keeping you other family safe.
