ok here goes! If the HIV/AIDS virus weakens your immune system and makes you susceptible to infections, would people who have the virus be given vaccinations. because some vaccinations are in fact a small dosage of the same illness they're trying to avoid you getting.In other words they are infecting you to cure you. For example small pox and those kinds of things.
Answer:
No, the virus in the vaccines are not complet they don't have the power to put you sick, they are diseabled! In 70% are only specific enzymes and/or disabled virus to the immune sistem recognise if in the future you get it.
Vaccines can't put you ''really'' sick, the only side effect is the immune reaction that can cause rash, fever, etc, but not disease
Very true: smallpox vaccine was the key to practically eradicating that disease in Western societies. In fact, smallpox is has been eliminated to the point that most people (in the U.S. anyway) under the age of 35 have not even been vaccinated.Vaccines work by exposing the patient to a version of the infectious organism that has been weakened (to varying degrees, and in different ways, depending on the disease), so that the body can produce the proper antibodies and other immuno-response mechanisms to fight off the disease, both immediately post-vaccine and in the future. Ideally, the patient never gets "sick," because the body's immune system responds faster than the weakened organism can multiply. In some cases, though, the body's response is not *quite* fast enough, and the patient does get "sick," although *usually* the results are not ultimately harmful or fatal, and the patient is immune to the disease thereafter. However, HIV is rather unique, in that its replication processes are very inaccurate. So inaccurate, in fact, that many, many individual HIV viruses are just *slightly* different (genetically speaking) from their immediate predecessors. In other words, the virus mutates at an exponential rate - and there can be thousands of *slightly* different "strains" of the virus in a single patient.The body's immuno-response systems are keyed to recognizing an invader by its genetic code. But the HIV virus mutates so fast that by the time the body responds, there are dozens or even hundreds of other "strains" for which the body does not have an effective answer. As a result, formulating an effective vaccine has proven very difficult - impossible, as of yet. Scientists and doctors all over the world are working on such a vaccine, but that is - at least - several years (possibly as many as 10) away from success.
I wouldn't call the HIV/AIDS vaccination a vaccination at all. You see the "vaccination" only serves as a treatment and it is impossible to cure HIV or AIDS. People who have this infection or disease has to live with it the rest of their life. It's very sad, but with treatments people these days with HIV or AIDS can live the same amount of years a person without it can.
