Stas Piekha was urgently hospitalized. Stas Piekha spoke about the illness of his two-year-old son Piekha is sick

In the last century, AIDS was a terrible monster that killed 40 million people worldwide. But things are changing, and now HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, is no longer a death sentence. Most HIV-positive people with access to modern medicines will live completely normal lives. Scientists have found several more reasons to be happy about how the fight against this terrible disease is going:

There is a patient who recovered

One of the biggest breakthroughs. Timothy Ray Brown was diagnosed with HIV in 1995 and immediately began taking antiretroviral therapy for suppression. In 2006, he was diagnosed with leukemia and underwent two bone marrow transplants. The new stem cells were resistant to HIV, so after treatment he stopped taking antiretroviral therapy. 10 years have passed, and his condition remains stable, and most importantly, there are no signs of the virus in his body.

HIV is no longer a death sentence

Between 1988 and 1995, 78% of those infected with the virus died from causes directly related to AIDS. However, by 2009 this figure had dropped to 5 percent! Today, taking therapy, you can expect an average life expectancy.

AIDS is no longer a gay disease

One of the biggest misconceptions is that HIV and AIDS are gay men's diseases, particularly because it has been found more often in men. The very first cases of HIV infection among citizens of the USSR occurred as a result of unprotected sex with African students in the 70s, and the widest resonance occurred after an outbreak of infection among gay men in the early 90s. However, people now know that anyone can become infected with HIV without having to have unprotected sex with a man, and not all gay men are necessarily sick.

It's possible to find a point where you don't infect anyone

If an HIV-positive person takes medications as prescribed, they may reach a point called an “undetectable viral load.” This means that there is no active virus in his blood, which significantly reduces the risk of disease transmission: it remains, but tends to zero.

Now there's no shame in discussing this

Stigma and taboos associated with HIV have hampered the fight to eradicate the virus. For example, the media wrote that this is “a disease common in the West among prostitutes, homeless people and homosexuals.” Now any teenager has the idea that the virus can be caught even at a dentist’s appointment.

Of course, statistics in Russia are not yet on our side: in 2016, 5.3% more new cases of HIV infection were registered than in 2015 - 103.4 thousand. Some officials continue to link the virus to sex and drug use and prohibit discussion of these topics.

However, thanks to large-scale campaigns, as well as the work of charities, the new generation is quite well versed in what is true and what is false. Knowledge of treatment options is increasing, and people around the world understand that anyone can be at risk and are getting tested regularly. By the way, this may be why the numbers are so different: more and more people are learning how important it is to get checked regularly.

A generation will soon grow up that will not know about this disease.

Because countless advances in treatment, as well as the difficulty of transmitting the virus, make the phrase “the end of AIDS” a realistic goal. The UN has already published a report on what is required to end the epidemic by 2030. In my opinion, these are quite good timing:

The famous singer Edita Piekha is seriously ill. The treatment has not yet produced results; moreover, the artist has not yet been diagnosed. Desperate, Piekha decided to trust the capital’s doctors.

Edita Stanislavovna first felt unwell three weeks ago. Then she developed a high temperature, which stubbornly remained at around 40 degrees. And soon all the members of the famous singer’s household fell ill, writes KP-St. Petersburg.

“I feel very bad,” Piekha said in a tired voice when they called her with questions about her health. “Weakness, I don’t want to do anything. Even my beloved dogs can’t save me. Call me back in a week. I think we’ll be better. Sorry, but now it is very difficult for me to speak. Goodbye."

However, Edita Stanislavovna’s hopes for a quick recovery were not justified.

“It’s still unclear what kind of illness this is,” said one of her assistants. “The blood pressure is normal, there is no more fever. But the illness does not go away.”

“Edita Stanislavovna is flying to Moscow and will be treated there,” the woman added. “How long she will stay in the capital is still unknown. It all depends on what diagnosis the doctor makes and what treatment is prescribed.”

“I feel bad, I cough terribly. I just can’t recover, and the hospital doesn’t have the necessary medications. There is no one to go to the pharmacy. Every day someone calls and asks if I’m alive or if I’m dead? And I answer: “You won’t wait.” Although the disease is very difficult,” the singer complained.

The journalists decided that if relatives do not care about their loved one, then they themselves should help Edita Stanislavovna. Having collected the necessary medicines and the singer’s favorite flowers, representatives of the “You Won’t Believe” program decided to help the people’s artist.

Now Piekha is in the cardiology department, but according to the singer, this is not related to heart problems. “I am in cardiology not because of heart problems, but because the hospital simply does not have a department for patients with bronchitis. Now I’m lying on the bed in a robe, all disheveled. But as soon as I get myself in order, I will definitely get in touch with my fans,” the artist admitted.

Stas Piekha confirmed that his grandmother is in the hospital with bronchitis. But the singer is not going to change his tour schedule for the sake of a sick relative. He noted that Edita Stanislavovna had nothing serious. According to him, she has a normal acute respiratory infection and therefore he is not at all worried about her.

Edita Piekha is already 80 years old, the singer admits that it is getting harder and harder for her to go on stage every time. But she cannot give up performing and continues to delight the audience. At the same time, at several concerts Piekha sang while sitting on a chair and each song was given to her with great difficulty. So maybe it’s not just ordinary bronchitis, as she’s trying to assure everyone?

Stas Piekha spoke frankly about drug addiction, intensive care and the struggle for life

The famous singer Stas Piekha, the grandson of Edita Piekha, became the hero of Boris Korchevnikov’s program “The Fate of a Man,” where he spoke about an imperfect life and drug addiction.

As Stas admitted, from early childhood he lacked attention from his parents. Mom came home for only a few days, and then went on long tours again. As a result, Piekha began smoking and drinking alcohol from the age of 13. Then he started having problems with hard drugs, oh intkbbee which loved ones didn’t even know.

“I always wore long-sleeved sweaters to hide the marks from the injections. One day he fell asleep with a cigarette in his mouth and set the apartment on fire. The sweater burned, and I found myself bare-chested in front of my mother. Then everything was revealed. When I began to actively study psychology, I realized that I had a grudge against my family. I blamed my mother for not giving me enough attention as a child, for not feeling loved and needed. We pass on to our children what our parents passed on to us. What Ilona received from Edita, she then passed on to me. However, we are very weak in this family sense, we don’t have any touching traditions, we rarely gather around the big table,” the artist admitted.

As the man admitted, alcohol and drugs gave him some relief and the feeling of loneliness and tension left him. For some time he managed to hide his addiction from his mother and grandmother, but when he switched to hard drugs, the family understood everything. As a result, for two years they stubbornly fought Stas’s illness.

“It's a miracle that I'm still alive. I had three resuscitations and a heart attack. Many times I found myself on the verge of death... They took away from me what I considered so important and gave me nothing in return. I had no meaning in life, I hated myself so much at that time. I gained 17 kilograms and literally ran past the mirror,” said the musician.

The family’s efforts paid off and Stas overcame drug addiction, while to this day he constantly leads himself away from temptation. Music became the salvation in his life. Another meaning of life for Stas is his little son Peter. Despite the fact that the artist does not live with the boy’s mother, he tries to pay enough attention to him.

“Addiction is not a bad habit, but a disease. Moreover, the disease is chronic, progressive, and fatal. It progresses even if a person does not consume anything. And if he does not receive some kind of psychological and spiritual treatment every day, then self-destruction begins. I'm still being treated. I constantly work on myself and fight temptations,” said the artist.

In 2014, Stas Piekha became a father. Model and DJ Natalya Gorchakova gave the popular singer a son, Peter. Piekha doesn’t hide it. that you don’t see your baby often. “He’s sick now, and probably in a couple of days we’ll be able to visit him. He and his mother also travel a lot. They’ve been to Spain, St. Petersburg, Belarus. Now, thank God, in Moscow. Of course, we need to see each other more often. Of course, I do everything that is required by the state and the family in terms of supporting the child. But, of course, this does not replace communication with my father. I understand this, I always try to visit him between tours. Petya already says, however, I don’t always understand yet his language. He is very inquisitive and active,” said Stas.

ON THIS TOPIC

According to the singer, Petya loves music very much. He even sways in different directions, as if dancing, and includes facial expressions. "But at this age - and he is not yet three - it is too early to talk about any talents. It seems to me that this will be clearer a little later. But now he is doing a little of everything. He is going to kindergarten, where they will be taught languages, logic, design and so on,” Woman Hit quotes the artist.

Currently, Stas Piekha is an eligible bachelor. According to the singer, he does not have a specific image of what a potential chosen one should be. "Of course, there are some moments like that she should take care of herself and be pretty... But, probably, everyone will say that. The intellectual basis is undoubtedly important. Not necessarily a doctor of sciences - God forbid! But the most important thing is unity of views, energy and the desire to develop,” said Stas.

And for Piekha, honesty in relationships with a girl is important. “I will not tolerate manipulation. Honesty is very important. I am careful in what I say and how I do it, because every person wants to hear something pleasant. And, I must admit, I myself can’t stand critics. There are enough of them around, including in the virtual space, but in a relationship with a girl I don’t need another critic,” summarized Stas Piekha.
