AIDS
Aids is a disease that effects the immune system.
Your immune system
is unable to fight off diseases, viruses, and
infections. Aids usually makes
you very skinny and tired, and it effects
the nerves system in your brain. You
also can get certain cancers from
aids especially Kaposi's sarcoma, are purple
lesions on the skin, and
tumors known as B-cell lymphomas.
Aids can be transmitted through
several ways by blood, through
intimate sexual contact, from infected
mothers to there babies in there uterus,
and even through infected
mother's milk. A major way of getting the disease
was through blood
transfusion that was before they had a test for screening
blood. Another
major way of getting it is through blood contaminated
needles by
intravenous drug abusers. Blood donors and casual contact is
definitely
not a way you can catch the disease. It could take up to ten years
for
symptoms to develop because it usually stays dormant.
There are
several different strains of the aids virus and it continually
changes
in a persons immune system. Because of this it makes it very hard to
develop a vaccine for aids. Dramatic progress is being made in short
time to
identify the aids virus and transmission and mechanisms, in
which it produces
the disease.
Research centers treat people who
have the aids virus, and those who
have been infected but not yet have
developed the symptoms. The first drug
developed was AZT in 1986-87. It
has been shown to be partially effective
in clinical symptoms, but the
death rate with aids are likely to survive in the
long run with adequate
treatment.
Aids raises many ethical, legal, and civil right issues.
Live mandatory
testing of all citizens or of particular populations,
like for marriage license
applicants. It also demands discrimination in
housing , employment, and
medical treatments and confidentiality versus
notification of sex partners.
The first place aids was discovered
was in New York in1979. The
cause of this disease was retrovirus which
is Human Immunodeficiency
Virus, HIV. Which was identified in 1983-84 by
scientists working at the
National Cancer Institute in the United States
and the Pasteur Institute in
France. Workers developed tests for aids
enabling researchers to study up on
the transmission of the virus and to
study the organs mechanisms of the
disease also. African monkeys were
infected by close relatives of the aids
virus. Because of this fact
scientists think the aids virus was originated in
Africa. In 1990 the
world health organization announced that 203,599
people were infected
that were reported by the end of 1989, and an estimated
number of aids
victims is to be 600,000.
