Rauch: “No reason to be ashamed of the test”
HIV tests are offered free of charge and anonymously by the AIDS organizations in Vienna, Vorarlberg, Tyrol, Salzburg, Carinthia, Styria and Upper Austria. In addition, tests can be carried out by general practitioners, and non-prescription self-tests in pharmacies cost around 30 euros. “It is important to know your status – for your own health, but also for the health of sexual partners. There is no reason to be ashamed of getting tested (…). Together we can stop chains of transmission and achieve our global goal of ending AIDS by 2030,” said Health Minister Johannes Rauch (Greens).
Gen (dpa) – The disease monkeypox is getting a new name: The World Health Organization (WHO) is now using the name Mpox instead of Monkeypox, as announced in Geneva. Both names would stand side by side for a year before only Mpox would be used. The new name was chosen because it is easy to pronounce and use in other languages.
The virus itself is also to be given a new name. An independent expert council (ICTV) is responsible for this, which has not yet made a decision. As early as August, the names subgroup I and subgroup II were introduced for the two virus subgroups, which were named following African regions.
Disease first discovered in monkeys
The disease was called monkeypox only because it was first discovered in monkeys in 1958. But monkeys have nothing to do with the outbreaks this year. Rather, people become infected through close physical contact with other people. Nevertheless, monkeys were attacked in Brazil this year because people blamed them for the outbreaks.
In general, according to WHO specifications, references to specific countries, regions or animals should be avoided in names for diseases. The name should also be easy to pronounce.
Even following the outbreak of the then new type of corona virus in Wuhan in China, the WHO worked flat out on a neutral name to prevent names such as China virus or Wuhan virus from gaining acceptance. The disease caused by the Sars-CoV-2 coronavirus is called Covid-19, an abbreviation of coronavirus disease. The 19 shows that the disease first emerged in 2019.
Permanently suppress virus multiplication
At a press background discussion in Vienna, Univ.-Prof. dr Alexander Zoufaly, infectiologist and President of the Austrian AIDS Society: “Regular intake of well-tolerated and effective HIV therapy is a prerequisite for permanently suppressing virus multiplication and thus also preventing the virus from being passed on.” It is particularly important to check the immune status of the elderly to precisely coordinate the additional intake of necessary medication (blood pressure, cholesterol, painkillers, anti-inflammatories, etc.).
