6. Why is it so
important that people living with HIV or AIDS find ways of
reducing the
stress in their lives?
Because
the illness compromises the immune system, and having too
much stress will
further limit the body’s ability to fight the illness.
Because
HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, cannot live without a ready
supply of
adrenaline and noradrenaline to feed on. These are the
neurotransmitters
that are released by people who have too much stress in their
lives.
Because
the medications used to treat these illness cannot be
effective in individuals
who have high stress due to the negative interaction of the
drugs and
cortisol, the stress hormone.
Because
the treatment of these illnesses requires a strict regimen of
medication
compliance, and research has shown that those who live with
high amounts of
stress are more forgetful and therefore more likely to miss a
dose of their
crucial, life-saving medication.
