immunodeficiency virus, also known as HIV, weakens a person’s immune system. This is caused by the virus destroying important cells, also known as CD4 cells or T cells, which fight disease and infection. HIV is transmitted through bodily fluids. Sadly, there is no cure for HIV. This virus can become deadly, but does have ways to control it. Without controlling the HIV, a persons T cells are destroyed, and the body can not fight off disease or infections. Where did HIV come from? In West…

spread the virus long before even becoming ill. There have also been news reports about persons who were infected with the AIDS virus knowingly infecting others by not informing them that they were HIV-positive prior to sexual activity.

HIV, or the human immunodeficiency virus, “is a chronic infectious disease passed from one person to another through blood-to-blood or sexual contact” (Hoeger, Hoeger, Hoeger, & Fawson, 2015). HIV was originally formed in chimpanzees in Central Africa, and spread to humans through infected blood (What is HIV/AIDS?, 2015). Once the virus has entered into the body, it replicates…

When your blood is tested for HIV, the lab first performs what is known as an EIA or ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). A negative ELISA means that no antibodies were found in the blood and that the person is HIV-negative. A positive result is confirmed with a second ELISA. If the second ELISA is positive, a Western Blot must be done to ensure that the antibodies detected in the ELISA test are really HIV antibodies. The Western Blot test can come back positive, negative, or inconclusive.…

HIV: A Possibility of a Cure on the Rise A man has completely cured of HIV and has no need for treatment in regards to the disease, he has not experienced a relapse, and a baby born with HIV experienced a prolonged period of no infection before relapsing. With what is known about this disease and how it affects the immune system it seems like this should have never happened. Living with HIV has been long associated with a death sentence. In the following I will explore the possibility of a cure…

The human immunodeficiency virus or HIV is a virus that unlike many other viruses the body can not fight it off, once contaminated with the virus the person must live with the human immunodeficiency virus for the rest of their life. What HIV does is it kills off CD4 Cells or T Cells which are white blood cells that the immune system develops in order to helps the body fight off diseases, infections and other viruses. If the HIV virus is not treated, with time the virus kills so many T Cells…
