HIV/AIDS is a deadly infectious disease that has killed millions across the globe. HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infects and destroys the white blood cells (called CD4+ T-lymphocytes or CD4 T-cells) of the body's immune system. Thus, HIV reduces the ability of the body's immune system to respond to infection, increasing susceptibility to opportunistic infections and some types of cancer. Transmission of HIV in Australia occurs primarily through sexual contact between men. The virus can be transmitted also through sexual contacts between men and women or by sharing needles and/or syringes with someone who is infected. The virus can cause specific diseases of its own and, at later stages

The unique, deadly disease AIDS has invaded the lives of millions of American families. It apparently has caused dynamics changes in society. AIDS has caused many infected patients to rethink their own social behavior and status. However, sometimes it is not necessary to completely shift one's personal routine just because the chance of living a semblance of a normal life depends on how the infected person reacts to the disease. First of all, those who are HIV positive may not have AIDS; therefore, if I had been diagnosed as HIV positive, I would establish a calm and strong confidence by reassuring myself of the fact that I may not necessary have as crucial of a situation as being diagnosed

First, the U.S. must adopt a trade policy that supports the implementation of emergency drug manufacturing and pricing measures already allowed under international treaties. These include importing of medicines from one country to obtain the lowest prices, the licensed manufacture of generic equivalents, and differential pricing based upon relative ability to pay.

BIOCHEMISTRY In the scientific journal article "DNA Aptamers Selected against the HIV-1 RNase H Display in Antiviral Activity" from the Biochemistry journal the researchers were talking about an inhibitor of the ribonuclease H activity on RNA-DNA hybrids. Since they know that a vaccination against HIV-1 is still a long-term goal. They want to make an inhibitor that will be more affective at blocking the viral replication and thus slow the onset and progression of the HIV-1 virus. The article states that new inhibitors have been found using the SELEX method that means systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment. In the article the scientists used SELEX to isolate

AIDS is a serious fatal disease of the immune system that is transmitted through sexual contact, blood products, or contaminated needles. Ever since aids has been first recognized in June, 5, 1981 about 25 million people have died. It is a rapidly growing disease that has spread worldwide with no absolute cure yet. Each year millions of people die and the number of people living with HIV keep rising continuously.Putting a stop for such an epidemic disease is not easy. With no cure yet AIDS can not be just omitted out of our lives. I believe there are many proper ways where we can prevent AIDS\HIV from happening.

Its structural organization is decidedly different from that of the HTLV family. It is indeed a lentirvirus, related to the visna virus of sheep.
