INDEED AIDS is a killer disease. But unlike Hepatitis B virus, which attacks the liver, one of the vital organs in the body, there has been relatively widespread sensitisation about the ways through which AIDS is spread and how to avoid getting infected.
Yet according to research, the Hepatitis B virus is 100 more infectious than HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
The chronic form of Hepatitis B will gradually progress to complications, such as scarring of the liver (cirrhosis), liver cancer and chronic liver failure, which eventually leads to death. We focus on Hepatitis B in our lead feature. Find out how you can protect yourself and your loved ones from this incurable disease.
Sometimes we expose our armpits, especially when wearing sleeveless clothing, but no one wants to see armpits riddled with razor bumps and, worst of all, overgrown hair even if it is not your own doing. Experts say people who get armpit irritations probably shave in the wrong way. If you are a victim of irritation, you might want to try the wet shave. We give you the tips.
You would not believe that Daniella Atim, the wife of musician Jose Chameleone, has carried two pregnancies. Unlike many women who struggle with weight after giving birth, this mother of two easily bounced back into her pre-pregnancy shape. Was it a case of good genes? Apparently, it takes a lot of discipline with food to achieve the look. Get some inspiration from Atim on Page 7.
