June 5th, HIV/AIDS Birthday - Hurray AIDS Is 35. by Paulpaulpaul(m): 11:53pm On Jun 04, 2016 |
1981 U.S.A. AIDS 5th June 1981 : The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a report announcing that cases of rare pneumonia were found among five homosexual men in Los Angeles, California which was later identified as the Aids Virus HIV is thought to originate in Africa, where humans caught it from chimpanzees and other apes. The virus that affects the apes is very similar to HIV and is called SIVcpz (simian immunodeficiency virus). This virus spread to humans following contact with infected chimpanzee blood during the hunting of chimpanzees. For many years the human type of HIV was limited to a remote part of Africa. With improved connections the virus began to spread worldwide There are two types of HIV; they are HIV-1 and HIV-2 and they have many subtypes. HIV-1 is the cause of the current worldwide pandemic while HIV-2 is found in west Africa but rarely elsewhere. The strains of HIV-1 can be classified into four groups: the "major" group M, the "outlier" group O and two new groups, N and P. These four groups may represent four separate introductions of simian immunodeficiency virus into humans. Of these, Group O appears to be restricted to west-central Africa and group N is rare. More than 90 percent of HIV-1 infections belong to HIV-1 group M. Within group M there are known to be at least nine genetically distinct subtypes (or clades) of HIV-1. These are subtypes A, B, C, D, F, G, H, J and K. Occasionally, two viruses of different subtypes can meet in the cell of an infected person and mix together their genetic material to create a new hybrid virus. Many of these new strains do not survive for long. These are called "circulating recombinant forms" or CRFs. For example, the CRF A/B is a mixture of subtypes A and B. Pls, tell someone toda that AIDS is REAL. http://www.news-medical.net/health/What-Causes-AIDS.aspx |
