Statistics

• 3.1 million people in the USA in 2004 died from
  AIDS.
• 39.4 million people around the world are living
  with AIDS/HIV.
• 25 million children are orphans because of
  AIDS/HIV.
• Over27 million people have died from AIDS/HIV
  since 1980.
• Approximately 11 out of every 1,000 adults are
  HIV infected.

What Is HIV?

• The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is the
  virus that causes AIDS.HIV belongs to a subset
  of retroviruses called lent viruses (or slow
  viruses), which means that there is an interval
  sometimes years between each of the initial
  infection and the onset of symptoms. When
  entering the bloodstream through mucous membranes
  or blood-to-blood contact HIV infects the CD4T
  cells and begins to replicate

What Is AIDS?

• HIV is short for human immunodeficiency virus,
  which is the virus that causes AIDS. This virus
  is passed from one person to another through
  blood-to-blood. Also infected pregnant women can
  pass HIV to their baby during pregnancy or
  delivery. People with HIV have what is commonly
  called an HIV infection but sometimes it is also
  called the AIDS virus. Viruses are germs that can
  cause illness in humans. As an example, measles,
  mumps, chicken pox and the flu are all caused by
  viruses. Viruses cant reproduce on their own.
  They can only reproduce by using cells of other
  humans or animals. In humans, different viruses
  infect different cells and cause different sorts
  of illnesses. For example, HIV infects the cells
  of the 'immune system' the very thing the body
  uses to fight against germs. Most people with HIV
  will eventually develop AIDS as a result of their
  HIV infection.

How HIV Causes AIDS.

• An important focus of the national institute of
  allergy and infectious diseases is research
  devoted to the pathogenesis of human
  immunodeficiency virus HIV disease three forth of
  the complex mechanisms that result in the
  destruction of the immune system of an
  HIV-infected person. A detailed understanding of
  HIV and how it establishes infection and causes
  the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome AIDS is
  crucial to identifying and developing effective
  drugs and vaccines to fight HIV and AIDS.

6
Whats the Difference.Are They the Same?

• HIV attacks the body's immune system. When it
  does, HIV weakens the body's ability to fight off
  infection. If left untreated, HIV will eventually
  weaken the immune system so much that the person
  will become sick from certain types of
  infections. When the person gets these
  infections, he or she is said to have AIDS. For
  some, it takes a long time to develop these
  infections and therefore AIDS. For others it
  takes less time. Not everyone with HIV has AIDS
  and AIDS is not the same as HIV.

7
Are Aids Caused by Any Type of Tobacco?

• No, aids are only caused by five types of
  immunological stressor agents can alter the
  functioning of the immune system chemical,
  physical, biological, mental, and nutritional.
• But all though aids arent caused by tobacco,
  tobacco can still cause many other problems.

Do Chinese Have the Cure for AIDS/HIV?

• HY99 is an "immunity-rebuilding suppository",
  it strengthens the weakening immune system of
  patients, reduces the risk of "opportunistic
  infections". It improves the psychological and
  physical conditions of the patients, and enables
  them to live a normal living. So yes Chinese do
  have a working medicine.

9
Can You Get Aids From Your Parents?

• Yes, if your parents have aids than are more than
  likely to have them too. If you do have aids
  treat them as soon as possible.

10
Drugs Can Not Help Cure Aids.

• Researchers believe antiretroviral therapy will
  not stop HIV epidemics even if it is made
  universally available in poorer countries, and
  that widespread use could even lead to an
  increase in the numbers infected with HIV.

11
Where Do Aids Come From?

• AIDS will probably never be traced to its
  immediate source, but scientists now know that
  the disease is native to the central African
  nations of Zaire, Burundi, Uganda, Rwanda,
  Tanzania and Kenya, and that there is a species
  of monkey that abounds in that region, called the
  African "green", which carries a virus very
  similar in structure to that of the AIDS virus
  and in the very blood cells that AIDS prefers.
