Infectious Disease What is the inflammatory response? According to "Definition of Inflammatory Response" (1996-2014), it is “a fundamental type of response by the body to disease and injury, a response characterized by the classical signs of ‘dolor, calor, rubor, and tumor’ -- pain, heat (localized warmth), redness, and swelling.” A very important part of the body’s defense system is inflammation; this is when there is a crucial protective response by the body’s system of self-defense (Definition of Inflammatory Response, 1996-2014). Acute inflammation lasts only a few days, it is short-lived whereas chronic inflammation lasts longer; like weeks, months, and maybe even years. When the inflammatory process is involved in healing and repair it may cause tissue damage.

All individuals that are infected with HIV/AIDS are offered these medications. There are some side effects that come with these drugs like nausea, vomiting, heart disease, shortness of breath, weakened bones, skin rash, and bone death (mainly in hip joints) (Mayo Clinic Staff, 1998-2014). The doctor will monitor his patient’s response to the treatment while they are on the medicines. HIV/AIDS infected people need to remember to take their medications. They should also do some other things if they would like to live a healthier life; like eating healthy foods, getting immunizations, and take care with companion animals. One more thing they should do is to avoid certain foods such as raw seafood, raw eggs, and unpasteurized dairy products and cook all their meat till it is well-done. Fish oils and whey protein are two supplements that can be helpful
