Early Greek Education

HIV or the Human Deficiency virus is like other viruses including the flu, but the one thing that makes this virus so different than any other is that the body is unable to clear this one out completely. Once someone is infected, there is no cure. Over time, HIV can also hide or mask itself in the body's cells. The cells within a person's body that fight off infection are called CD4 cells or T cells. HIV attacks these cells and copies or replicates itself inside these cells, then destroys them. HIV over time will destroy so many of these cells that the body is unable to fight off infection anymore. When this starts happening, AIDS or Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome happens which is the final stage

HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection is a long-term (chronic) viral infection. HIV kills white blood cells that help to control the body's defense system (immune system) and fight infection. HIV spreads through semen, pre-seminal fluid, blood, breast milk, rectal fluid, and vaginal fluid. HIV is commonly spread through sexual contact and sharing needles or syringes, because these behaviors involve exchanging bodily fluids. Without treatment, HIV can turn into AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome), an advanced stage of HIV infection. AIDS is a very serious illness and can be life-threatening.

I became very interested in Greek history after visiting the display of papyrology. The papyrology collection at the graduate library at the University of Michigan displays some ancient artifacts of the 4th century and even older showing us what life would of been like in those times. In this exhibit there was a wooden tablet with school exercises from Egypt used in the 4th century. The wooden tablet was found in an unknown provenance of Egypt. This extraordinary tablet was used as a part of elementary Greek school exercises. The tablet features the alphabet written out in regular and reverse order, on the reverse side of the tablet it shows syllabary consisting of consonant/vowel combinations. This tablet would have been used in schools in

The Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome denotes a spectrum of conditions that are caused by the HIV virus. Infection with this disease does not result in the instant occurrence of the related signs and symptoms. However, an individual is likely to experience flu-like symptoms after he or she is infected with it. Eventually, the person experiences a prolonged period of apparent health with no visible signs. On progression, the infection adversely interferes with the immune system of the individual. The weakening of the body’s defense system increases the risk of recurrence of common infections and opportunistic illnesses that

There have been 4,043 reported diagnosed cases of Human Immunodeficiency Virus infection (HIV) per 100,000 populations. Human Immunodeficiency Virus is a virus that attacks the body’s immune system. The Human Immunodeficiency Virus attacks a specific white blood cell called T- helper cells which are used to fight off infection. As the virus destroys the t- helper cells, it replicates, destroying the immune system of the individual. Individuals who have the Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection will have to constantly take medication to suppress the spread of the disease. If left untreated it will become very difficult for the individual’s body to fight off the virus resulting in death.

Children did not have to be kept in Greek society. Children could be left out in the wilderness, public, or temples. Anyone could pick up the abandoned children adopt them/put them into slavery. Boys were kept more than girls were because boys were considered strong, and girls were always a worry to their fathers. When girls were born, wool was put on the front door. Olive leaves were put on the front door when boys were born.

HIV is a sexually transmitted disease that attacks the body’s immune system by diminishing CD4 cells that help prevent and fight illnesses. HIV is a virus, more specifically a retrovirus that transcribes its RNA into the host cell’s DNA, and is spread by a transfer in bodily fluids namely drug injection and condomless sex. As the disease progresses into acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), the virus continues eliminating CD4 cells until the immune system becomes virtually ineffective [5]. Scientists first identified HIV in 1985 in response to the AIDS crisis plaguing the United States [6]. With no cure yet available, those affected with HIV must rely on antiretroviral drug therapy to decrease their chances of developing AIDS [7].

HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus and can lead to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) if not treated (About HIV/AIDS, n.d). Unlike some other viruses, the human body cannot fully rid itself of HIV completely, even with treatment. Simply put, once you contract HIV, you have it for life. This disease attacks the body’s immune system, specifically the CD4 cells (T cells), which help the immune system stave off infections. When left to its own devices, HIV reduces the number of CD4 cells (T cells) in the body, making the person more likely to

What is HIV? It is a virus that attacks the body’s immune system that can lead to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome or AIDS if not treated. The Kaiser Family Foundation (2008), states that HIV attacks the body’s immune system, specifically the CD4 cells (T cells), which help the immune system fight off infections. If left untreated, it reduces the number of T-Cells in the body, making the person more likely to get other infections. Also noted is the fact that HIV destroys so many of these cells that it renders the body helpless in fighting off the infections, while it takes advantage of the weaker immune system. This occurrence is part of the

This virus attacks the body’s immune system causing them to become immunosuppressed. Over time the body is unable to fight off cancer, disease and infections. However, treatment is available to control HIV and those with HIV can live long lives. AIDS is the final stage of HIV and many with HIV will never advance to this stage. During this stage you become susceptible to opportunistic infections. When the CD4 drops below 200 cells per cubic mm of blood and you have an opportunistic infection, you are considered to have AIDS. Those with AIDS have a shorter lifespan and require medical treatment in order to

These three stages are Acute infection, Clinical latency (inactivity or dormancy), and AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). Acute infection occurs within 2 to 4 weeks after infection with HIV, you may feel sick with flu symptoms, which is called acute retroviral syndrome (CDC, 2014). During this period of infection, large amounts of HIV are being produced in your body. At this stage, your ability to spread HIV is highest during this stage because the amount of virus in the blood is very high. The Clinical Latency period is sometimes called asymptomatic HIV infection, or chronic HIV infection (CDC, 2014). At this level, HIV reproduces at very low levels, but is still active. At this stage, you may not feel sick or have any symptoms. This stage can last up to a decade. Towards the middle to the end of this stage, your viral load begins to rise and your CD4 cell count begins to drop (CDC, 2014). Then at this point in this stage, you may begin to experience symptoms of the HIV infection because your immune system becomes too weak to protect you. The last stage of HIV is AIDS. This is the stage of infection that occurs when your immune system is badly damaged and you become vulnerable to infections and infection-related cancers called opportunistic illnesses (CDC, 2014). Once someone has a dangerous opportunistic illness, life expectancy without treatment falls to about 1 year (CDC,

Athens’s education was unique and many citizens learned to draw, sing, and fight but not everyone did learn. Ancient Athenian education was mainly focused on upper-class boys and that girl was trained at home how to be a mom and to be a housekeeper, however only those who had enough to afford for school went to school, and they focused on military training very much. Not only did they focus on education but they focus on military training for kids. Weird, right? Well, kids were trained to become a great soldier to prepare them one day for war and to become a great, well-grown man. Therefore, The Society itself don’t even have enough education. Girls were trained in home and denied education. Do we get to do that? NO! We humans today make sure we have enough knowledge so we can get a better afterlife with a good job, and a family. Ancient Athenian education was

HIV is an incurable disease that affects the immune system by attacking T cells (help to fight infections) which unlike normal cells throughout the body cannot be rejuvenated. HIV is contracted through exposure to blood or bodily fluids containing the virus, weakening the immune system to levels in which the body becomes prone to infection and illness. Due to lack of

HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. It’s the virus that causes HIV infection. The human immunodeficiency virus causes HIV infection and over time acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. AIDS means Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. AIDS is the most advanced stage of HIV infection. AIDS is a condition in humans in which progressive failure of the immune system allows life-threatening opportunistic infections and cancers to thrive. HIV destroys CD4 positive (CD4+) T cells, which are white blood cells crucial to maintaining the function of the human immune system. As HIV attacks these cells, the person infected with the virus is less equipped to fight off infection and disease, ultimately resulting in the development of AIDS. People with AIDS often suffer infections of the lungs, intestinal tract, brain, eyes, and other organs, as well as debilitating weight loss, diarrhea, neurologic conditions, and cancers such as Kaposi 's sarcoma and certain types of lymphomas. Most people who are infected with HIV can carry the virus for years before developing any serious symptoms. But over time, HIV levels increase in the blood while the number of CD4+ T cells decline. Without

The human immunodeficiency virus is a lentivirus (retrovirus), which attacks Helper T cells, specifically CD4 lymphocytes causing the progressive deterioration of the immune system.4 Initially when HIV is contracted, there is a period if 2 to 6 weeks called ‘seroconversion’ where HIV antibodies are not detectable. During this period the patient may experience flu-like symptoms due to the initial immune reaction.4 Next, there is a clinical, asymptomatic phase, which can last up to 10 years, and during this time the CD4 count decreases, causing gradual immunodeficiency. This lead to opportunistic infections such as oral candidiasis (thrush).4 Eventually, the AIDS stage of the disease is reached and there are more serious opportunistic infections and malignancies.
