Hyrule the baby detective?
ohohoho okay so.. I have three genres I like to write in my original lit: horror, scifi, and mystery. so I wanted to write a mystery for LU, multichapter and thoroughly outlined (partly because analyzing HSH was so much fun and I wanted to keep that going alkdfjkasdfj). so I came up with an idea for a crime mystery set in a vaguely 1890s ‘modern’ Castle Town city following apprentice detective Hyrule... I actually wrote a Lot for the first draft before realizing it was a bit too silly for my intent and I hadn’t outlined it enough to solve the sideplots I’d introduced while writing. so I scrapped this... 4? chapter first draft right before the climax and sat down to Really plot it out (I wrote this one in July I think lol)
I have a whole outline and I made a new setting: ‘modern’ university AU with a serial killer antagonist who takes an interest in Hyrule. I had so much of it planned out and I was hype to write it because the twist was amazing, which is the part I felt was lacking set up in the first try. but then classes started and I came up with another multichapter idea and started writing that instead, kinda.. oops!
so if I ever release a version of this fic, it’ll probably be an edited and finished version of the crack taken seriously first draft XD and I’m not sure if I’ll ever use the twist I came up with for the second version so I won’t share it, but it was Good omg.... I love adding twists into my multichapter fics, they’re so much fun aaa! :D
and I guess, just because I can.... have a (unedited and messy) snippet from it! :D
Hyrule was so nervous he’d managed to leave the office and board the subway before even opening the envelope. The envelope where the address of the client and time of meeting was… Hyrule sighed, carefully opening the clasps and peering inside. There was one tiny slip of paper and nothing else. Great. Hyrule pulled the appointment card out, squinting down at the scribbled address and-- oh dear, the meeting was in less than an hour! Hyrule’s eyes flicked around, only relaxing slightly as he realized he’d somehow managed to board the correct train.
He was a bit frustrated at the lack of information he’d been given, if he was being honest. A murder case typically had a name, some pictures, a report even when they got the call, but the card Hyrule held simply had an address and a name--Twilight. Odd name, but he didn’t really have room to talk, his parents had named him after a country after all.
The train arrived and Hyrule shuffled his way through the crowds at the station, climbing the stairs to find himself in the center of the historic district. Towering stone buildings lined the streets in streaked creams and greys, stained by coal even as most of the city moved to electric. The houses here were expensive and ancient and Hyrule knew the district was made of wealthy, private citizens more than anything else. People who preferred to keep their affairs under the table, tight-lipped and aloof, rude even. Hyrule lived in a dingy apartment, packed like a sardine in rooms barely big enough for a bed and stove. He felt small and out of place just standing in the street, suddenly aware of how cheap his white shirt and suspenders looked compared to the businessmen clad in full suits around him.
Hyrule rushed to find the building, glancing up towards the clock tower that rested in the building at the end of the street. Rows and rows of brownstones, all looking strikingly similar, before Hyrule found the bright red overhang of an apartment building, the address emblazoned on the cloth in gold script. He let out a small sigh of relief, still ten minutes ahead of schedule, and pulled open the grand wooden door at the entrance.
The interior was dark but spacious, high ceilings and sconces all fit with gas lamps that were out of use. There was a window at the top of the first flight of stairs, smudged and allowing a grey, watery light to pass into the foyer--the only light present. The right side of the hall held a built in alcove, a set of open mailboxes behind a desk and chair. An attendant sat in the dim light, head slumped forward on his chest, brown hair disheveled over his maroon uniform. Obviously asleep. Hyrule looked down at his note, up at the stairs, and quietly snuck past.
Two flights up Hyrule noticed a massive chandelier hanging from the ceiling at the top floor, visible through the gaps in the alternating staircases. A small man was strapped to the rail and ceiling, grease and soot staining his shirt and hair pulled away with a green headband. Hyrule found himself on the fifth floor and peering at the precarious set up the man had constructed--or was he just a boy? He didn’t look much older than fourteen, but he was clearly hard at work, wires looped around his arms and clamps in hand as he converted the chandelier from gas to electric. The kid shot Hyrule a questioning look and he realized he’d been staring, quickly turning away and facing the hall ahead.
There were six doors, three on each side of the hall with tiny golden plaques adorning the wood with each apartment number. Hyrule winced as each step he took broadcast itself in loud squeaks, the maroon carpet rolled over the wood doing nothing to muffle them. Fortunately the apartment he was looking for was the first to his left, room 501, and he took a moment to check his pocket watch and take a few steadying breaths. Before he moved to knock on the door he heard the click of the knob, and a moment later the door tugged open to reveal a man dressed in a dark jacket with dirty blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. They narrowed for a second and Hyrule felt himself stiffen in fear before the man grabbed his arm and pulled him in.
The door shut quickly, trapping Hyrule in the mysterious apartment with a threatening stranger and no escape. He almost considered trying to bolt before his eyes landed on the teen sprawled over the loveseat ahead, long blonde hair spilling onto the ground while his bare feet rested over the couch back. His left side was covered in a layer of streaking pink scars that pinched his eye slightly shut and twisted his mouth into a perpetual smirk. What made Hyrule pause however was the grin the kid shot him, warm and excited, and when he turned back to the other man he saw the tense posture had relaxed significantly.
“You’re from the agency, right?” the man asked, voice a bit tired and hopeful, like he’d been through this song and dance several times before.
“Ah, y-yes! My name is Hyrule, it’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance.” Hyrule stretched out his hand and the man shook it readily, firm, and Hyrule felt himself begin to relax slightly.
“I’m Twilight. Why don’t you have a seat and I’ll fill you in on why I called.” Twilight offered a small smile and Hyrule let himself be guided to sit in a high backed armchair opposite the loveseat. Twilight shoved the teen’s legs off the back and came to sit beside him as he readjusted into a cross-legged position, grin still wide on his face.
“I’m Wild by the way,” Wild waved, Twilight nodding somewhat resigned.
“It’s nice to meet you, Wild,” Hyrule nodded despite the odd name, smiling at the thanks Twilight mouthed at him.
“Alright, so,” Twilight huffed, crossing his legs and straightening his back. Hyrule perked up, pulling a notepad and pencil from his jacket pocket and flipping open to a blank page. “I didn’t say much on the phone last night because this is a… well, a sensitive case, let’s say.”
Hyrule hummed, curiosity easing his anxiety enough to shine through. “A murder, yes?”
Twilight winced and Wild snickered at his side.
“Yes and no…” Twilight shot Wild a glare. “See, it hasn’t exactly happened yet.”
Hyrule paused. Huh.
“So you heard that a murder is being planned and you called us to help prevent it?” Hyrule surmised, only to be met with more laughter from Wild. Twilight shoved him but the teen only hid his smile behind a hand in response.
“Not exactly,” Twilight sighed, and Hyrule noticed the dark circles beneath his eyes. “You see, we have this odd neighbor at the end of the hall, and--”
“Twilight saw the guy’s ghost in a dream and is convinced he’s going to be killed.” Wild cut in, ignoring the sharp glare Twilight shot his way.
“Well, that’s a new one.” Hyrule raised his eyebrows, taking in the giggling teen and Twilight’s tired expression.
“It wasn’t a dream, I saw him, or at least I think I did.” Twilight sighed, fixing Hyrule with pleading eyes. “It must have been a ghost because he just appeared out of nowhere in the hall, covered in blood, and told me to call the cops. I did, but when they arrived they said nothing was wrong and I must have been seeing things. But I have a bad feeling about it, something isn’t right. I just want to make sure the Old Man’s okay.”
“When was this exactly? Have you checked on him yourself?” Hyrule tapped his pencil on the notepad, mulling over Twilight’s words. This certainly was an interesting case, and while he wasn’t sure how much he could truly do to help, he understood what Twilight meant. Hyrule trusted his own instincts--a bit too much according to Legend--but they hadn’t truly led him astray yet.
“This was a week ago. I checked on him right after I woke up the next morning. He was fine, not a scratch on him, but something tells me whatever is coming for him hasn’t yet.” Twilight twisted his fingers together nervously and Wild’s laughter petered off. “I’ve been hearing arguments from his apartment. More and more strange people have been coming to visit, and at odd times of the night. I think he’s gotten himself mixed up in something, but he’s pretty stoic and keeps to himself. I just worry…”
Alright, so maybe this case wasn’t as straightforward as he’d been led to believe, but Hyrule wasn’t deterred. Twilight’s words shone with honesty and he realized that the man was likely on his last attempt to find help. No one in their right mind would believe this story, no respectable detective would take on such a case. So it was a good thing Legend sent him, because Hyrule had literally nothing to lose.
“I’ll help you,” Hyrule announced, feeling a swell of confidence as Twilight smiled and Wild shook his head fondly. “If what you say is true there is cause for concern. I can start interviewing those close to him and keeping tabs. If he’s in trouble, we’ll find out, and I can make sure he stays safe.”
Well, he could try, but that was beside the point.
“Thank you so much,” Twilight said, already relaxing. “You don’t know how many detectives I’ve reached out to. They all say I’m crazy or trying to pull a prank.”
“Well, I’m here now, and I’ll get to the bottom of this.” Hyrule replied with far more confidence than he had. At least Legend had taught him one thing--how to bullshit. “So, why don’t we start with what you know about this man…”
Twilight sat back in the chair, Wild getting up to make tea in the adjacent kitchenette. Hyrule readied his pencil, hands steady as his nerves eased.
“We call him Time.”

Bigger & Better: Heesen’s 2020 Vision
Bigger & Better: Heesen’s 2020 Vision
For Dutch yacht-builder Heesen, 2020 is on scheduled to be a monumental year of launches. Over 13 yachts with a total of 731 linear metres in length are currently under construction at the Oss-based shipyard, and some long-awaited projects will hit the waters this year, one of those being the shipyard’s largest to date.
Heesen is a holistic yard with unrivalled in-house capabilities which set an owner’s dream on the path to reality. Heesen’s Director of Operations, Rick van de Wetering, told Superyachts.com last September of the importance that these dreams are met with ‘Fast Deliveries’, a reason he believes gives Heesen an edge in the market.
“That’s one of the success stories of Heesen,” explained Rick. “The customisation of a full custom boat but also with the fast deliveries we can always find the answer to the questions a client has, hence that we have so many projects in the pipeline.”
Back then, Van de Wetering was speaking following the successful launch of four superyachts, including 55m Vida and 50m Erica. This year is set to surpass even the excitement of those deliveries. The first superyacht to launch reflects the industry’s commitment to green innovation. YN 19150, or Project Electra, is a 5000 hybrid vessel, built on the successful innovative platform of Home. Home was the winner of many awards following her delivery in 2017, including the RINA green award by HSH Prince Albert of Monaco, and Electra will become her sister ship when she is launched this year.
More than their successful fast delivery platforms, Heesen dares to take on challenging custom superyacht designs. The investment in their facility in Winterswijk has been a huge part of this and allows them to build bigger and better superyachts. This coming summer will see the shipyard launch Project Cosmos, the biggest superyacht built in its history.
“It is a natural step for us to take,” said the Director of Operations. “Over the years we have grown every year, with the 60m and now the 80m Cosmos.” In June Cosmos will have her hull and superstructure joined together in Oss, providing the world with a first look at the stunning exterior crafted by Winch Design. The construction of the largest and fastest aluminium yacht will then be completed in shed 2, where the luxurious interiors styled by both Sinot design and Heesen’s in-house artisans will be fitted.
Elsewhere, the development of Project Akira is progressing well since her presentation at the 2019 Monaco Yacht Show. Heesen are working with both Harrison Eidsgaard and Omega Architects on the 5700 aluminium superyacht, which is sure to be as stunning as it is innovative with such a renowned cast working hard behind the scenes.
The future of the Dutch shipyard is looking especially bright, with several other highly-anticipated exclusive projects are in the making and due for delivery in the coming years. 60m Project Falcon, Heesen’s largest displacement yacht, had her hull and superstructure joined in September ahead of her 2021 delivery. Other exciting Heesen projects include 59m SkyFall and 67m Sparta, while Xventure, a next-generation explorer vessel in collaboration with Winch Design, was unveiled during FLIBS 2019.
Testament to its ability to offer in-house expertise and attract collaborations with the finest designers in the world, Heesen continues to push the boundaries of innovation and will once again cause a storm in the industry this year.

People are angry at HSH for the rumors she's spreading but like she's exactly how most knets act like that's why knets love her. Even the kmedia is using her to collect dirt on idols. No way she's going anywhere soon since she's practically a 'hero' in Korea. People (non-idols) there love her. Everything she says is the 'holy truth', according to knets. That's why HSH is so sure nothing will ever happen to her.
That plus the comfort of her family backing her and being able to pull any strings to get her out of anything... girls living her best villain life. This kind of person is someone I'd expect to see on gossip girl or something, I cant believe she exists in real life. Even with all the support she has in all of those ways I genuinly truly wish and hope that soon everything she has will come crashing down in the worst way and that finally her rotten interior will start manifesting itself on the surface for even the trashiest of knetz to see

“Designing Christmas”
For the past six years, interior designer Stella (Jessica Szohr) and contractor Pablo (Marco Grazzini), have charmed homeowners and viewers alike as co-hosts of the renovation show “House Sweet Home” by relying on their expertise and palpable on-screen chemistry despite not being an actual couple. After the owners of the home slated for their upcoming holiday episode pull out, Pablo and the “HSH” team convince Stella to be their next client in hopes of saving the episode and the show itself. This has a trepidatious Stella not only agreeing to renovate her family’s Victorian home with Pablo (a.k.a. The Sledgehammer), but also moving her impending nuptials to fiancé Jack (Mykee Selkin) up several months in a bid to make this their biggest and best episode yet. As Stella and Pablo labor together more closely than ever before to bring her family’s beloved home back from a state of disrepair in time for the Christmas Eve ceremony, Stella confides in her mentor Freddy (Hilary Farr) about the complicated and unexplored feelings that could jeopardize everything.
Directed by Pat Mills and starring Jessica Szohr, Marco Grazzini, Mykee Selkin, Leighton Williams, Fiona Highet, Eugene Clark, Nicole Power, with HGTV’s Hilary Farr, “Designing Christmas” is produced by MarVista Entertainment in association with Neshama Entertainment.

Esta casa de color rosa brillante responde al nombre de Villa Hermina y se encuentra ubicada en la República Checa. Ha sido obra de los arquitectos HSH y consta de tres plantas conectadas unas a otras por una gran rampa continua. La rampa cumple una doble función dentro de la vivienda, donde sirve como medio para ir de un piso a otro y como divisor de los diferentes espacios de la casa.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
La casa con rampa está situada cerca de Černín, y destaca por encima del resto de las casas tradicionales de la zona. El exterior del edificio de aspecto áspero contrasta con el interior, de ambiente más minimalista con acabado de acero y hormigón.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Los clientes pidieron a HSH que incorporase una sala de cine a pesar del pequeño espacio disponible. Los arquitectos fueron capaces de resolver ese problema mediante la alineación del suelo con la pendiente de la colina, lo que les permitió crear una zona de la pared relativamente grande para poder poner la pantalla donde proyectar las películas.

7 Architectural Elements You Should Never Touch During a Renovation
Sinenkiy/iStock; realtor.com
Older homes have plenty of charm, but they also have their inconveniences: drafts, slanting floors, closed-in kitchens, and tiny bathrooms. The way we live now is just different. So if you’re considering updating an older home to incorporate modern comforts, there’s something appealing about just doing a gut renovation and starting with a clean slate. Then you can finally create your dream home exactly as you see it in your mind.
But while in general you want to get rid of outdated, inefficient features, you should hold off when it comes to certain unique architectural details.
“Architectural features that give homes distinct character should be left intact,” advises Patrick Garrett, a broker and owner at H&H Realty in Trussville, AL. “There are home buyers looking for homes with unique features and older homes with character and charm.”
If you’re lucky enough to own a home with historic flair, here are some of the elements that you should endeavor to preserve.
1. Molding
Photo by Precision Homecrafters, LLC
The traditional look of molding is so popular that it’s even found in most newly built homes. If your older home already has these original elements, rejoice!
“On the inside of the home, the first things we salvage are the staircase, window trim, and crown molding,” says Thomas Kenny, co-founder of Scott Simpson Design + Build in Northbrook, IL. “The original molding, in particular, gives the home character and is usually crafted from high-quality materials that will stand the test of time.”
2. Exposed brick
Photo by Old Hillsboro Building Company
Before you take a sledgehammer to your exposed brick walls, consider this: Many homeowners are actually stripping away their bland drywall to expose the beautiful brick behind it.
“You should not remove exposed brick, because it lends a unique architectural element that brings texture and a rustic vibe to a space,” says Laurie DiGiacomo, principal designer at Laurie DiGiacomo Interiors in Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ. In many homes, the exposed brick serves as a focal point in the room.
3. Columns, exterior trim, and siding
Photo by Michelle Jacoby, Changing Spaces
There’s a lot of character in the exterior of an older home.
“When working on historic renovations, we always try to maintain the structural integrity, which means keeping a few elements like columns, exterior trim, and siding intact, because those are impossible to replicate,” says Kenny.
A historical porch with columns may be the home’s most notable exterior feature.
4. Built-in bookcases and window seats
Photo by Peterssen/Keller Architecture
These space-saving features add charm and functionality to a home’s interior.
“Built-in bookcases are highly functional, but they also allow one to artfully arrange objects and books,” says DiGiacomo.
And she considers window seats an amenity that could tug at future buyers’ heartstrings.
“They are one of those features in a home that instantly forces you to imagine living in that home,” she says. “The minute someone sees a window seat, they immediately fantasize about relaxing and curling up there with a good book.”
5. Stained glass
Photo by Shed Brand Studios Upgrading windows is a usual part of any reno—but think twice if those windows are made of stained glass. Original stained glass is pretty rare, and that increases the desirability factor, according to Jonathan Self, a real estate agent at Center Coast Realty in Chicago.
“Once you come across [stained-glass windows], you will remember them for a lifetime,” says Anastasios Gliatis, CEO at Anastasios Interiors in New York City. “They also provide a spiritual, peaceful feeling, since they are identified with churches.”
6. Fireplaces
Photo by HSH Interiors
A fireplace used to be necessary to generate heat, but now it can help generate interest in your home.
“Fireplaces are always a great addition to your home, and older fireplaces come with rich details and rare stones,” Gliatis says. As a result, they create a focal point when walking into the room.
7. Solid core/paneled doors
Photo by HomeStory Doors of Chicago
The doors in your older home are nothing like the variety at the big-box store down the street.
“Old solid-core doors, and often their metal elements like doorplates, are real gems,” says Self. “You can’t buy these with any amount of money, because the craftsmanship it takes to make them doesn’t exist anymore.”
Paneled doors with brass knobs and hinges are definitely worth keeping, Gliatis adds, because this type of hardware can be hard to find and is quite expensive.

VIH Y SIDA
¿Qu�� es el VIH?
El VIH es el virus que causa el SIDA. Este afecta el sistema inmunitario, haciendo que te enfermes más fácilmente. El VIH se propaga durante el sexo, pero los condones ayudan a que te protejas.
¿CÓMO SE ADQUIERE EL SIDA?
En realidad el SIDA “no se adquiere”. Usted debe estar infectado con el VIH y luego puede desarrollar SIDA.
Usted puede infectarse con el VIH de cualquier persona que esté infectada, aún cuando no parezcan estar enfermas o aunque no hayan obtenido aún un resultado positivo del análisis del VIH. La sangre, los fluidos vaginales, el semen y la leche materna de personas infectadas con el VIH contienen suficiente cantidad de virus para infectar a otras personas. La mayoría de la gente se infecta con el VIH al:
·         Mantener relaciones sexuales con una persona infectada
·         Compartir agujas (para inyectarse drogas) con una persona infectada
·         Nacer de una madre infectada o al tomar leche materna de una mujer infectada
Tumblr media
¿Cuál es la diferencia entre VIH y SIDA?
El VIH es el causante del SIDA. SIDA es una sigla que significa síndrome de inmunodeficiencia adquirida. VIH y SIDA no son lo mismo. La gente con VIH no siempre tiene SIDA.
El VIH es el virus que se transmite de persona a persona. Con el tiempo, el VIH destruye un tipo de células importante del sistema inmunitario (denominado células CD4 o células T) que nos protegen de las infecciones. Cuando no tienes suficientes células CD4, tu cuerpo no puede combatir las infecciones como lo haría normalmente.
El SIDA es la enfermedad causada por el daño que el VIH produce en el sistema inmunitario. Una persona tiene SIDA cuando contrae infecciones peligrosas o tiene un número extremadamente bajo de células CD4. El SIDA es la fase más grave de la infección por VIH y, con el tiempo, termina provocando la muerte.
Sin tratamiento, generalmente toma 10 años para que alguien con VIH desarrolle SIDA. El tratamiento desacelera el daño que causa el virus y ayuda a que los infectados se mantengan sanos durante varias décadas.
¿Cómo se contagia el VIH?
El VIH es transportado en el semen, las secreciones vaginales, la sangre y la leche materna. El virus ingresa en el cuerpo a través de cortes o heridas en la piel y a través de las membranas mucosas (como el interior de la vagina, el recto y la abertura del pene). Puedes contraer VIH por:
Tener sexo vaginal o anal Compartir agujas o jeringas para drogarse, hacerse perforaciones en el cuerpo, tatuajes, etc. Ser punzado con una aguja que tiene sangre infectada con el VIH Tener heridas o ampollas abiertas que entran en contacto con sangre, semen (esperma) o secreciones vaginales infectados con VIH

Causas
La causa es la infección por el VIH, virus que se trasmite por vía sanguínea, sexual y por la leche materna.
En concreto, el virus del sida se transmite a través de la sangre, el semen (incluido el fluido preseminal o previo a la eyaculación), así como el fluido vaginal y la leche materna. El VIH puede introducirse en el organismo por el recto, la vagina, el pene, la boca, otras mucosas, como el interior de la nariz, o directamente a través de las venas. Las vías de contagio más frecuentes son:
Por relación sexual (vaginal, oral u anal) con una persona infectada por el VIH. Al compartir agujas, material de inyección o de consumo de drogas. Por la llamada transmisión vertical (de madre a hijo). Ser receptor de una transfusión de sangre o de un producto hemoderivado con fecha anterior a 1987 en España. Por el aire ni por el agua. A través de animales o insectos (como los mosquitos). Por compartir los cubiertos, las servilletas, los aseos o cualquier otro instrumento que no implique contacto sanguíneo o de fluidos sexuales. Por las heces, el fluido nasal, la saliva, el sudor, las lágrimas, la orina o los vómitos, a no ser que estén contagiados de sangre. Por tocar, besar, acariciar o abrazar a una persona infectada.
Síntomas
Los síntomas son muy variados y dependen del estadio de la enfermedad. Cuando solo se está infectado por el VIH, pero no se ha desarrollado el sida, lo más frecuente es estar asintomático o presentar herpes zóster o infección por cándida en la boca. Una vez que la enfermedad se desarrolla, los síntomas se relacionan con las infecciones o tumores que ocurren como consecuencia de la pérdida de la función del sistema inmune.
La infección aguda curso como un cuadro gripal intenso con mucha fiebre, cansancio y aumento del tamaño de los ganglios.
De hecho, entre un 50 y un 90 por ciento de las personas que se han infectado por el virus del sida experimentan síntomas similares a un catarro o una gripe leve (cansancio, fiebre, pérdida de apetito) que remite a los pocos días. También pueden sufrir diarrea, sudoraciones nocturnas o aumento de los ganglios linfáticos.
La única forma de saber que se ha contraído la infección es con una prueba específica realizada por un profesional sanitario. Muchos VIH positivos no manifiestan los síntomas de la infección hasta que han transcurrido varios años; de ahí la importancia de conocer qué prácticas y situaciones pueden determinar la infección y actuar consecuentemente.
Prevención
Para reducir el riesgo de contagio del VIH es necesario evitar las relaciones sexuales de riesgo y utilizar métodos anticonceptivos de barrera, como el preservativo, así como no compartir agujas ni materiales para el consumo de drogas inyectables.
En 2015, la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) aconsejó por primera vez el uso de fármacos antirretrovirales en personas sanas como medida preventiva contra la infección. Esta recomendación, basada en evidencias científicas, está indicada especialmente para la población de mayor riesgo: hombres homosexuales jóvenes, que tienen muchas parejas y que no siempre mantienen relaciones sexuales seguras.
Respecto a la prevención, los expertos de Gesida comentan que es muy diversa. “Lo principal es diagnosticar a todas las personas infectadas para ponerles el tratamiento y que, de esa manera, no contagien a otras personas. Además, es esencial el uso de preservativo en las relaciones sexuales con personas desconocidas y tratar a las madres infectadas y embarazadas para que no contagien a sus bebés”.

Tipos
Existen dos tipos de VIH, explican desde Gesida: “El VIH-1, mayoritario en todo el mundo y que es al que habitualmente nos referimos, y otro tipo, el VIH-2 que se describe mayormente en África Occidental. Al igual que el VIH-1, el VIH-2 se transmite por contacto directo con líquidos corporales, como la sangre, el semen y los fluidos vaginales infectados por el VIH o de una madre VIH-positiva al niño durante el embarazo, el parto o la lactancia materna (por medio de la leche). Por lo general, la infección por el VIH-2 lleva más tiempo en evolucionar a un cuadro sintomático del VIH/sida que la infección por el VIH-1”.
No todas las personas infectadas por el virus presentan la enfermedad, aunque la mayoría la acaba desarrollando. Lo más frecuente es que al cabo de unos cinco o diez años, un infectado por el VIH padezca los síntomas de la enfermedad si no ha recibido tratamiento. Aunque no existe cura para erradicar al virus del organismo infectado, se han elaborado una serie de medicamentos que pueden retrasar la aparición de los síntomas patológicos.
Diagnóstico
El diagnóstico se hace a través de un análisis de sangre sencillo que cualquier médico puede solicitar. La prueba se puede realizar pidiéndola al médico de cabecera, en los centros de prevención de enfermedades de transmisión sexual o en cualquier consulta de cualquier médico. También se realiza en algunas farmacias o en ONG. La prueba se puede pedir de rutina, por precaución, para hacerse una revisión, o cuando se tiene algún problema de salud que puede ser debido al VIH.
En realidad, esta prueba no busca la presencia del VIH, sino de anticuerpos que se han producido para luchar contra el virus. Generalmente, el organismo tarda entre un mes y seis semanas hasta que se producen suficientes anticuerpos para registrarlos en una de estas pruebas, por lo que si se ha encontrado en alguna de las prácticas consideradas de riesgo es conveniente esperar un periodo "de ventana" de tres meses antes de someterse a la prueba del VIH. Estos análisis son muy sencillos de realizar y permiten establecer con certeza si existe o no infección.
En los pocos casos en que pudiera quedar duda, se realizan pruebas complementarias para confirmar el diagnóstico, como el Western blot. No es necesario recurrir al cultivo. La determinación cuantitativa del ARN, denominada “carga viral” se ha incorporado como prueba de rutina, pues es muy útil desde el punto de vista pronóstico y para evaluar la eficacia del tratamiento. Permite un diagnóstico de la infección más precoz que la detección de anticuerpos: estos no aparecen en sangre sino al cabo de unas 4-6 semanas. Durante ese tiempo llamado período “de ventana”, el análisis para detectar anticuerpos es negativo, pero el individuo transmite la enfermedad.
También se puede hacer una prueba en saliva (actualmente las farmacias y ONG disponen de un autotest o prueba de autodiagnóstico).
¿Quién se debe realizar la prueba del VIH?
Desde Gesida recuerdan que se debe realizar la prueba del VIH:
• A todas las personas que lo soliciten.
• Si está o piensa quedarse embarazada.
• Ante cualquier sospecha de una exposición de riesgo por relaciones sexuales con pareja VIH o que desconoce si tiene VIH.
• Si ha padecido alguna infección de transmisión sexual: gonococia o gonorrea, sífilis, clamidias...
• Si tiene una pareja estable y quiere dejar de usar el preservativo en sus relaciones sexuales.
• Si procede de algún país de alta prevalencia de VIH (un porcentaje de personas infectadas en la población  mayor del 1 por ciento).
• Si ha tenido relaciones sexuales sin protección con personas de países de alta prevalencia.
• Si usa o ha usado drogas, inyectadas o no (también sus parejas sexuales).
• Si es un hombre que mantiene relaciones sexuales con hombres (HSH).
• Si ejerce la prostitución (mujeres, hombres y transexuales). También sus clientes.
• Si ha sufrido una agresión sexual.
• Si presenta signos o síntomas que le parece que pueden ser debidos a la infección por el VIH.
Tratamientos
El tratamiento es una combinación de tres medicamentos tomados una o dos veces al día de manera continuada.
Las familias de fármacos que se administran son las siguientes:
Inhibidores de la transcriptasa inversa análogos de nucleósidos (Itian). Inhibidores de la transcriptasa inversa nucleótido (Itinn). Inhibidores de la proteasa (IP). Inhibidores de la integrasa, que se están consolidando como fármacos muy bien tolerados y eficaces para el tratamiento de la infección.
