Aids can affect every system, but the main system it affects is the immune. It affects the immune system by destroying the cells called the T-helper. The T cells are a huge part in the immune system. They help the activity in the immune cells by releasing cytokines. The cytokines help spike the immune responses. The immune system plays a big role in the body because it prevents infections and illnesses. The immune system gets rid of all the bad bacteria and viruses. What's in aids destroys…

Healthy People 2020’s goal is to, “Prevent human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and related illness and death” (2014, p. 1). Specific goals to reduce new HIV infections are; “reduce the number of new HIV diagnoses, reduce the number of new HIV infections among adolescents and adults, and reduce the rate or HIV transmission among adolescents and adults.” According to the Healthy People 2020 objective HIV-1 reduce new HIV infections, the Healthy People 2020 target is 32,855 persons and the…

In the United States, 5 million patients are transfused every year, receiving approximately 14.6 million units of blood.1 Orthopedic and cardiac surgeries are associated with high blood volume loss and account for 10% and 20% of all erythrocyte transfusions, respectively.2,3 Additionally, cancer patients undergoing malignant tumor resection often require transfusions due to chronic blood loss.4 Although improved detection methods have significantly reduced the risk of acquiring blood-borne…

cause of preventable transmission of blood-borne diseases in the United States. Within this realm, it is the common practice of sharing previously used needles that makes IV drug users more susceptible to contracting diseases such as Hepatitis C and HIV. In recent years across the United States and worldwide, a method of controlling dirty needle-sharing has been to provide access to clean needles and syringes, regardless of the intended use. Although the nation has an estimated 289 000 heroin…

HIV origin has been debated by researchers since the virus was found in the 1980s. The virus attacks the body’s immune system and weakens the immune system. The first case of HIV came from “a blood sample taken in 1959 from a man living in what is now Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo” (Sharp 1). HIV is similar to the virus Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV), this virus weakens the immune system of apes and monkeys.“HIV-1 is closely related to a strain of SIV found in sooty…

mechanism we observed in vitro faithfully reflects the real HIV pathogenesis in vivo, we used two models, a co-culture model where OLs are cultured on top of a mixed glial layer and a brain aggregate model where dissociated progenitors acquired from mice or human fatal tissues were supplied with serum and allowed to aggregate spontaneously. Co-culture of neurons and mixed glia have been used to study the synergistic toxic effects of HIV-1 Tat and morphine on neurons (Zou et al., 2011b). In this…
