AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome)

AIDS was first diagnosed in the United States in 1981 and until recently has been attacked most of the countries in the world, so that has become an international problem.  Venereal disease Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a collection of symptoms caused by HIV that the immune system immunity  / defense body, causing severe damage and so far unknown cure.
AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is a frightening disease because the disease is the human race will bring death whereas hitherto undiscovered Medicine. Disease once this first arose in Africa, Haiti and American States in 1978.  In 1979 the United States report cases of Kaposi's sarcoma and infectious diseases are rare in Europe.  Until  is not currently recognized by scientists that these cases were AIDS cases.  In 1981 the United States report cases of Kaposi's sarcoma and infectious disease that is rarely found among homosexuals.  This raises a strong suspicion that the disease transmission occurs through sexual intercourse.  In 1982, CD-USA (Centers for Disease Control), the United States for the first time make the definition of AIDS.  Since then AIDS surveillance began.
In year 1982-1983 began in mind the existence of transmission outside the lines sexual intercourse, through blood transfusion, sharing needles shared by injecting drug abusers.  In this year also Luc Montagnier of the Pasteur Institute, Paris find cause of this disorder is LAV (Lymphadenophaty Associaterd Virus).
In 1984 the recognition of heterosexual transmission in Africa and in the equally known that HIV attacks the helper T lymphocytes.  In this year also Gallo and his colleagues from the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, United States discovered HTLV III (Human T Lymphotropic Virus Type III) as the cause abnormalities in 1985 found. In  Antigen for ELISA tests, in that year is also known  that HIV can also attack the brain cells.  I In 1986, the International Committee on taxonomy of Viruses, decided to name the cause of AIDS is HIV as a substitute for the name of LAV and HTLV III.
HIV virus includes a very easy Netrovirus mutate making it difficult to find a drug that can kill the virus.  Power transmission of HIV depends on a number of viruses that are in his blood, the higher / more and more virus in their blood higher transmission power so that the disease is also more severe.  HIV virus or AIDS virus, as other virus is actually very weak and easily killed outside the body.  The virus will die when heated to a temperature of 60 ° for 30 minutes, and more quickly by boiling water.  Like most other viruses, the AIDS virus can be destroyed with a detergent that is concentrated and can be disabled by radiation used to sterilize medical equipment or other equipment.
Distribution of AIDS sufferers in the United States of Europe and Africa are not much different are the largest group at age 30 -39 years.  This proves that good sexual transmission is heterosexual homosexual or main transmission patterns.  Given the AIDS incubation period ranging from 5 years upwards, the largest infection occurs in younger age groups / most active sexually that is 20-30 years.  In 2000, estimated AIDS virus transmitted at 110 million adults and 110 million children.  Almost 50% of the 110 million people that are teenagers and young adults aged 13 -25 years.  Information obtained from the International AIDS Center People Health faculty of Harvard University, the United States a number of people infected with the AIDS virus that has been developed in full will increase 10-fold.
Biological environment of social, economic, cultural and religious crucial the spread of AIDS.  Biological environment of riwata genital ulcers, Herpes Simplex and ST'S (Serum Test for Syphilis) which will increase the prevalence of HIV-positive because these wounds into the entry of HIV.  Another biological factor is the use of family planning drugs.  On prostitutes in Nairobi proved that the group who use family planning drugs have a higher HIV prevalence.  Social factors, economic, cultural and religious jointly or individually affect the sexual behavior of society.  When all these factors lead to permissiveness among the sexually active group, they've been to in a state of promiscuity.  So.
