Compare and contrast AIDS and Sickle cell anemia

AIDS vs Sickle Cell Anemia

Explanation:

AIDS is the acronym for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, which is a transmissible disease of the immune system caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). HIV slowly attacks and destroys the immune system, leaving a person vulnerable to other infections that can eventually cause death. AIDS is the final stage of HIV infection in which time fatal infections and cancers frequently arise. Tests for the disease check for antibodies to HIV, which appear from four weeks to six months after exposure. The most-common test for HIV is the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). People may have symptoms within 2 to 6 weeks after they’ve gotten the virus. Headache , Fatigue , Aching muscles , Sore throat , Swollen lymph nodes , A red rash that doesn't itch (usually on your torso ), and Fever are all symptoms of AIDS. If you have these symptoms it's best to go to the doctor because early screenings are vital.

Sickle cell anemia, is a genetic disease of the red blood cells . Normally, Red blood cells are shaped like discs, which gives them the flexibility to travel through blood vessels. With this disease, the red blood cells have an abnormal crescent shape resembling a sickle. This makes them sticky and rigid and prone to getting trapped in small vessels, which blocks blood from reaching different parts of the body. This can cause pain and also tissue damage.  To get Sickle Cell Anemia you need two copies of the gene, If you have only one copy of the gene, you are said to have sickle cell trait. The symptoms usually show up at a small age.
