HIV

Baton Rouge holds its highest HIV cases in the North Baton Rouge area, where African Americas account for 95% of the residents. Studies show that age, poverty and education level is concurrent with most people infected with the virus. Baton Rouge has many organizations and government funded programs for all residents but coherence is proven to be low. Therefore, I posed the question: How do we decrease the HIV percental in Baton Rouge? I suggest we decrease the HIV epidemic in Baton Rouge by first

Topic: Select a serious problem directly related to HIV/AIDS and discuss facilitators and barriers to its resolution. In recently, the HIV and AIDS are rapidly spread in world societies in early 1980 and found it from America in 1981. However, human societies were still not able to realize the exact reason for HIV. Each year this disease kills millions of people around the world. This virus devastated so many continents, such as Africa, North America, Latin America, and some parts of Asia. The reason

The first notable findings in the development process of the successful HIV-1 IN inhibitor is development of aryl-β-diketo acids. They provided the first proof of concept for HIV-integrase inhibitors as antiviral agents in the cell based assay. The aryl-diketoacid containing compounds (DKAs), exemplified by L-731988 are the most developed biological validated inhibitors. Indeed a member of this class S-1360 was one of the first IN inhibitors to enter into clinical trials. [46, 47] Although the diketo

My system is Infectious and Parasistic diseases. I’ve chosen HIV/AIDS as my topic because it is a world-wide epidemic and I believe everybody should know their HIV status. I will first give the basics about HIV, how it is transmitted, tests used to detect the virus and medications to control it. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) are lentiviruses (a subgroup of retroviruses) that infect CD4 cells (commonly known as T-cells), macrophages and dendritic

. Introduction HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is able to integrate its genome into the host cell genome during infection (Ebina, Misawa, Kanemura, Koyanagi, 2013). This can lead to AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) if it is left untreated. AIDS is caused by a very efficient and sneaky retrovirus. HIV can remain dormant for years once its DNA is in the genome of the host cells. The CRISPR/Cas9 (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) are segments of prokaryotic

HIV Vaccines Strategies The first Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) showed up decades ago, as far as we know. However, there could have been many more infections over the years that were either recorded as unknown cases or got called with a different disease name. Nevertheless, humans have been trying to understand how this tricky virus work and what strategies they can use to prevent or cure the virus. Since it can mutate and adapts so quickly, finding a cure or an antivirus is a challenging task

HIV Prevention in Sexually Active Youth HIV, which stands for Human Immunodeficiency virus, is a disease that attacks and destroys the body’s T-Cells while using them to make copies of itself (What is HIV/AIDS). Normally, T-cells send signals to the immune system, alerting it to the presence of bacteria or viruses (CD4 Count). Unfortunately, unlike other viruses that the immune system protects us against, the immune system is unable to defeat the HIV Over the infected person’s lifespan

have a cure or vaccine available, thereby obliterating the human race if it were to spread. Notable cases include the emergence of HIV/AIDS in the 1970s and 1980s, and the more recent 2014 outbreak of Ebola in Western Africa. Examining the distinctions between the two can give us a better understanding of how to combat potential outbreaks in the future. Ebola and HIV/AIDS are two infectious diseases with many similarities. Both diseases are caused by viruses, originating in Africa, with no approved

In the 1980's the HIV/AIDS epidemic devastated many communities, growing panic over the incurable disease that many people were dying from. In the past, there wasn't a lot of information on how HIV/AIDS was contracted or spread, and thus the epidemic instilled much fear over fatal sexually transmitted diseases. In today’s times I fear that our communities have become distance from HIV/AIDS and other STDs because of large advancements in modern medicine the United States have been able to achieve

HIV and AIDS Explained Sebastian V. Aparicio NorthWest Career and Technical Academy The human immunodeficiency virus commonly known as HIV, is a deadly virus if left untreated. Unfortunately there’s no cure, but ever since the outbreak 30 years ago in the United states, there have been many advances in drugs.5 The death of HIV has decreased, as well as the amount of people getting diagnosed. All in all, HIV has a unique life cycle with stages that it advances to, and has
