Further, a strain of SIV discovered in a chimpanzee in 1991 that was identical to HIV lead researchers to conclude HIV came from chimpanzees (Levy, 1993) and was determined those who died from the strange infection of pneumocystis pneumonia had HIV infection (Magnus, 2009).

I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin,” negative to historical figures but positive to people who are living in the new generation. Finding the origins of AIDS in a chimpanzee traumatically changed society
HIV Causes, Transmission, and Treatment Introduction The "discovery" of the HIV virus was not a cut and dried moment of pure science, according to some researchers. In fact there are skeptics among scientists and researchers as to the relationship between HIV and the AIDS virus. This paper will delve into the science of HIV, how the disease is apparently transmitted, what treatments there are for HIV, and the paper will also present the writer's opinion on HIV from a Christian perspective.

Chapter 1 1.1 Background The HIV and AIDS pandemic remains one the most serious development crises in the world (WHO, 2006). Women and children bear a disproportionate share of the burden, and in many settings continue to experience high rates of new HIV infections and of HIV-related illness and death. In 2005 alone, an estimated 540 000 children were newly infected with HIV, with about 90% of these infections occurring in sub-Saharan Africa (UNAIDS, 2006) .UNAIDS estimates that approximately
immune system. Describe the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Describe the major components of the HIV life cycle. Identify the various HIV types and subtypes. Discuss HIV’s effects on the immune system. Overview The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a retrovirus belonging to the family of lentiviruses. Retroviruses can use their RNA and host DNA to make viral DNA and are known for their long incubation periods. Like other retroviruses, HIV infects the body, has a long incubation period (clinical

Treatment for active non-resistant TB consists of the use of a two drug therapy, generally isoniazid and rifampicin. Cure rate for this strain of TB can be over 90%. Treatment for active TB is done for a minimum of six months. As a result of individuals incompletely finishing their recommended dose of anti-tubercular

Introduction: Mycobacterium tuberculosis is one of the leading causes of mortality in all over the world. The infection caused by M. tuberculosis is commonly known as tuberculosis or TB. According to a CDC report, in 2012, approximately nine million patients were infected globally with TB and the fatality was around 1.3 million1. It is estimated that nearly one third of the global population is infected with TB. M. tuberculosis was first described by Robert Koch in the year 1882 as the “tubercle
The Institute of Medicines report 1992 defined emerging infections as, “a new, emerging or drug resistant infection whose incidence in humans has increased within the past two decades, or whose incidence threatens to increase in the near future”(5). Infections represent a threat with far-reaching world-wide implications. Micro-organisms are not bound by international borders, a new infection can emerge in one part of the planet and reach another end of the globe through travel
