Phobias - Health 2 Know

The Purest Fear of HIV Disease

January 3rd 2009 07:34
Sometimes, life can be too tough for us to handle with. Honestly, nothing is more important than our health. By the way, can you ever wonder the life living in fear of possibility getting infected by HIV? Well, I can tell you that this is the most torturing moment and it’s totally beyond of your imagination…

Nowadays, although we can proceed the HIV test with the HIV Home Test Kit, but most of the people still didn't have the courage to do it! I have a friend, (Sorry, in this case, I have to keep some privacy for her!) where has been living in fear of having HIV. For your information, her husband was having affairs without the acknowledgment of my friend. She was only knew that her husband has been diagnosed as the HIV patient through the medicines that being consumed by him continuously. After the truth has been revealed, she was upset with his behavior. As a result, she has decided to divorce with her husband.


Well, it’s truly the sadness thing to have the unfaithful partner, but the even more devastated matter here is she afraid that she will have the chance of being infected by HIV! Just like many other people, she refused to take the HIV Test in the local clinic or hospital, as she doesn’t want anyone else to know this embarrassment condition. The fear of HIV has started to disrupt her daily life and she's was nearly being haunted by the HIV Phobia! She were very desperate about this matter. Hence, she has visited me two months ago, and has asked me the permanent solution for this problem.

Since she resists and don’t want to take the HIV test in the local hospital or dispensary, therefore I’ve suggested her to undergo a simple HIV test, by using the HIV Home Test Kit. Well, the HIV home test kit is very easy to be used and the users can get immediate result after only 5 minutes!


God’s always have his eyes on his beloved children. After three months of Window period, and a few time of HIV tests with the home test kit, the whole tests shown negative results! She was relief with the result and now, I can see her beautiful smile again…

A piece of advice to all the Orblers and my beloved readers, “always faithful with your partner and stay away from all the unmoral affairs!”

Phobias Chapter 4: The Phobias and The Recent Development on Phobias!

December 19th 2008 05:43
After several centuries of research and study by many experts in the field of phobias, it has finally led to several new developments and those interesting facts about phobias are:

• There are diagnostic criteria for three clinical categories of phobia.
• The various categories of phobia and individual phobias have different causes and reasons for their development, in either aetiology or aetiological mechanism!
• Cognitive factors have to be known playing the important role in the development and continuance of phobias!



• Phobias are not totally unconscious, as in some cases, and to differing extents, it will reinforce by a person’s perceptions and beliefs about the surrounding environment and the phobia stimulus.
• Recognition of the interplay of different mechanisms and cognitive factors in the development of phobias has challenged earlier and more simplistic theories about their origins!
• More helpful specific treatment programmes has been provided to individual that needs and have proved to be highly successful in most cases.



The recent developments are still in progression and hopefully, there will be more new facts to be discovered in the near future…

Phobias Chapter 3: The Phobias and The Phobias in the Past!

December 15th 2008 04:28
Today is the third chapter and I would like to discuss the history of phobia and the influences of phobia in the past…

No matter what races you’re, you cannot hide or runaway from the phobias, as it seems to be appeared in all races and cultures. They have been mentioned in early historical writings, particularly in those of Greeks and Romans’ ancient masterpieces.

For your information, allusions are being made to phobias in later European writings but when it’s come to the Middle Ages, they were often regarded as manifestations of demonic activity (Yep, you didn’t read it wrongly, it always being considered as a “Demonic activity” in the Middle Ages!)

Although some phobias have always occurred, such as animal phobias and height phobias, and others specific diseases or illnesses such as plague, syphilis and rabies, were once more common. These diseases were major killers in the past, and most of the people were afraid of them.



Let’s take an example, the Black Death, which is famous for one of the deadliest pandemics in human history, which has been reaped away at least 75 million people in 1400, has become one of the dread phobias to general population that living in the era!

In the 18th and 19th centuries, disorders of mind were once more returned to the realms of medicine and science. Many science researches and attempts were made to study and explain the nature and development of phobias and the best ways to treat it! Although there are several misconceptions were born at this time but it’s continuing in-depth study of phobias throughout the 20th century and until nowadays…

Phobias Chapter 2: The Phobias and The Present Situation!

December 9th 2008 17:30
Welcome back and today, we want to talk about the present situation of phobia and the consequences to all the people that having the phobias!

There are many recent surveys have been revealed that phobias are the most commonly diagnosed mental disorder in Western psychiatric medicine. Believe it or not, 2.5 out of 10 people that living in these present days have different types of phobias and most of them didn’t even know it until they do!

Meanwhile, many studies had indicated that between twenty and twenty-five percent of the population may be affected at any one time with non-diagnosis making the figure even higher!

Children and adults of both sexes are being affected and an untreated child may or may not carry the phobia into adult life. Some of the people will have a single phobia, while others are phobic in response to many stimuli. Beside that, age and gender are sometimes relevant with certain phobias being more common to a particular age or sex.

General population would probably agree that they have experienced phobic symptoms to a certain extent, even if only on a single occasion. As a matter of fact, there are many surveys have shown that seventy percent of people have been affected by a phobia at some stage in life and that nearly all respondents are acquainted with at least one person who will display those phobic symptoms.

Phobias Chapter 1: Introduction and General Definition That You Should Know!

December 4th 2008 21:12
Talking about the phobias, what is your general knowledge about it? Well, most of the people have limited facts about the phobias and if you’re one of them, then you should spend a couple of minutes and read on this article…

A phobia is an anxiety disorder that have been characterized by an extremely fear or dread of certain objects, animals, events or any terror situations. Normally, a phobia can cause severe disruption and restriction of normal life activities.

The word, “Phobia” is derived from the ancient Greek phobos meaning extreme fear and flight. The ancient Greek God, Phobos, was to be known able to reduce the enemies of the Greeks to a state of terror situation and making victory in battle!



The fear is so strong that sometimes, it will produce a range of physical symptoms where it is typically may include sweating, trembling, faintness, dizziness, nausea, palpitations, hyperventilation, and even panic attack!

Most of the time, a phobia person recognizes that his or her fear is irrational and will completely out of proportion to any possible threat posed by the stimulus. Furthermore, the person might be going to great lengths to cover the existence of phobia and it’s probably that, in many cases, the disorder remains unrecognized!
