It is a contagious virus existing as an illness that attacks the liver in different ranges of severity throughout one's lifetime (CDC, 2016). The Hepatitis C Virus attacks the liver, is transmitted through…

Ignoring the AIDS Epidemic: An Analysis of the Current Status of the AIDS Epidemic in Angels in America by Thomas Kushner Kushner’s vision of the future for AIDS awareness in American society has not come true in terms of public awareness of the disease. Certainly, the declaration by Prior Walter that “We won’t die secret deaths anymore” is valid in terms of the growth of awareness of the diseases in the 1990 and 2000s (Kushner 282). Yet, the media has increasingly ignored the AIDS epidemic…

Do you know, your own actions can affect those around you? Suicide does not discriminate, it infest the minds of the rich and famous, along with the poorest of the poor. It can also spread through community or a school intuition like a common cold. I’ve been working with children for four years now in a school institution. I’m train to watch out for…

The topic I chose was the Zika Virus, I chose this topic because I think it is an important issue, and I think it is relevant because it affects the entire world. I also think the Zika Virus, wasn’t getting enough media attention, especially compared to other things like the Olympics. I think everyone should be aware of the Zika Virus because it is important to be educated about world issues, and because it could affect them. The techniques I used were gluing, cutting, shape, line, colour. I…

Often times it is impossible to guess a person’s medical diagnosis from just looking at them. Doctors and nurses are able to predict a diagnosis from the information and symptoms that are presented. For non-medical personal some people diagnosis can be completely surprising, while some people could predict certain diagnosis. From the four people introduced their diagnoses were Dementia, ovarian cancer, HIV, and a self-inflicted abdominal wound. More information was given about the four people…

Some of the obstacles of surrounding vaccination in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) made eradication of smallpox in the country seem unlikely. These obstacles included a lack of infrastructure/travel, an uncooperative government, and an inability to conduct active surveillance on the amount of individuals vaccinate as well as an issue with detecting cases of smallpox. Many of these issues are akin to those faced by the effort to keep the DRC free of polio.1 In 2017 two confirmed cases…

Existing Problem The existing health problem is the increased rate of chlamydia infections affecting sexually active women under the age of 25. The CDC (2015) has estimated one in 20 sexually active young women aged 14 to 24 years has a chlamydia infection. Women who are infected are at high risk of developing reproductive health problems because chlamydia infections can present without symptoms. The CDC (2011) reported that fewer than half of the people who should be screened receive…

As a Heath Officer, I have been tasked with researching the frequency of HIV/AIDS in my rural area. It is a small population so I will work on both an observational and experimental study design. This will allow me to attempt to understand the spike in incidence of HIV/AIDS as well as work towards isolating the cause and educating the population. For the observational approach, I will work on a cross-sectional survey of the population. A cross-sectional study must include randomly drawn…

A new study has been developed in hopes of treating and curing HIV. The main agent is a protein called ZFN that can delete another protein called CCR5. The CCR5 is required for certain types of HIV to enter and infect your T-Cells. T-Cells are white blood cells the body uses to fight HIV, but the most important of these are CD4 T-Cells. HIV is known to infect the CD4+ T-Cells in your blood. The new treatment being studied involves removing white blood cells from the blood that contains CD4+…
