The human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, damages the immune system's ability to fight infection. HIV can progress to AIDS if not treated (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). People infected with HIV developed serious disease quickly at the outset of the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s. Today's medications, on the other hand, help to reduce the amount of virus in the blood, allowing HIV-positive persons to live healthier, longer lives and avoid developing AIDS. [img][/img] More than one million people in the United States with HIV, and one in every seven of them is unaware of their status. HIV symptoms can be difficult to spot. Acute retroviral syndrome, or flu-like symptoms, affects 40 percent to 90 percent of persons within a month or two of HIV infection (ARS). However, HIV symptoms may not develop for years, if not a decade, following infection. According to Mayo Clinic, one should go for HIV test if he/she begins to notice the following symptoms. 1. Frequent high fever. A low fever of up to 102 degrees F might be one of the early indications of HIV. If there is a fever, it is frequently accompanied by other moderate symptoms including weariness, enlarged lymph nodes, and a scratchy throat. The virus has entered the bloodstream and is beginning to reproduce in vast quantities. 2. Sudden skin rashes. Rashes on the skin can appear early or late in an HIV infection, and they can even be an indication of AIDS. The rashes could be bacterial or viral, or they could be caused by an overgrowth of yeast on the skin. This was yet another clue that he wasn't suffering from ordinary allergies or a cold. They looked like boils on the arms, with some irritating pink spots. Rashes can arise on any part of the body. 3. Sudden weight Loss. Weight loss, also known as "AIDS wasting," is a symptom of advanced HIV infection and may be caused in part by chronic diarrhoea. If you're already losing weight, your immune system is likely to be compromised. This is the patient who has lost a significant amount of weight while eating as much as feasible. This is an after-hours presentation. There are still a lot of these around. Antiretroviral therapy, on the other hand, has made it less common. 4. Persistent dry cough. The first indicator that something was awry was a dry cough. It's easy to misinterpret it as a case of bad allergies. But it lasted for a year and a half, and it just got worse. Antibiotics, Benadryl, and inhalers would not solve the problem. Allergists didn't know either. This symptom is a "insidious cough" that might last for weeks and doesn't seem to go away. 5. Night sweats. During the early stages of HIV infection, almost half of persons have nocturnal sweats. This HIV symptom is the body's response to becoming overheated or attempting to defend itself against an infectious pathogen. Night sweats are more common later in infection and have nothing to do with exercise or ambient temperature.

Basically, every successful musician has a story to tell; especially one that involves a lot of adventure or escapades as the case may be. In fact, quite a number of popular artistes now, shot into the limelight through the help of or experience with some other musician. As it seems, Frank Edwards' story is quite similar to the stated fact above. Categorically speaking, it was through the help of Osinachi Kalu Okoro Egbu, professionally known as Sinach, that Frank Edwards went as far as he is today. Just recently, a letter written by the popular singer, narrating his experience with Sinach was published on a well known Facebook page, Ndepo TV. Seemingly, Frank Edwards and Sinach have quite a history together. According to Frank Edwards, he met his female friend over 16 years ago, when he joined the ministry as a young piano player. In the Facebook Post, the popular singer revealed that working with Sinach was not easy for him because she was way ahead of him musically. So, It was difficult for him to catch up. He wrote thus: “I met Sinach 16years ago when I joined the ministry. As a young piano player, she became a big sister & a friend 'because' we were always together making music. Working with her was not easy because she was musically ahead of me and I was finding it difficult to catch up”. However, although it was an all music relationship between the two Nigerian gospel singers, they also had very funny and interesting moments. According to Frank Edwards, they virtually toured all the studios in Lagos State to make music. In fact, they even slept in studios and would wake up to Osinachi's frustrating car. The post read “After every session, she sleeps inside the vocal boot and me under the mixing console then the next morning her car will refuse to start...” Concluding, the popular singer wrote thus: “Don't look for where to show off, look for where to serve!! It will amaze you how much you don't know!!” What do you think of Frank Edwards' esperience with Sinach and his final words? Share your thoughts with us in the comments section below.
