AIDS: Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome

HIV and AIDS affect more than 30 million people worldwide. Race, sex, and age are not related to who may be affected by this disease, but the most infected ethnic group is a white male aged 25 to 44. Approximately 45% of cases of 640,000 AIDS in the United States are Caucasians. More than 35% of blacks are not delayed, and Hispanics accounts for about 20% of all cases. Asian people are fewer than anyone, only 1%. In 1997, about 30.6 million people worldwide are suffering from this terrible disease-related illness, of which about 68% live in sub-Saharan Africa.

AIDS acquired immune deficiency syndrome, widely known as AIDS, is caused by incurable HIV. AIDS is a fatal disease that can worsen the immune system. There are two groups of HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), HIV - 1 is found throughout the world, and HIV type 2 is mainly in Africa. The HIV virus invades leukocytes and inherits the cell's reproductive system and uses that system for self-propagation. - AIDS has been affecting America's rural AIDS for years and was a problem for America. However, many people believe that AIDS victims are homosexuals or drug addicts; this is no longer the case. AIDS spread to young people in the rural areas of the United States. Due to lack of funds and experience, hospitals and doctors can not provide adequate treatment, so the number of victims in smaller US cities is increasing, and there are many problems.

AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is a population of specific diseases (a group of cells, molecules, and organs that protects the body from intruders) caused by suppression of the immune system. HIV initially contains human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). People infected with HIV gradually lose immune function with immune cells, lose immune function, HIV turns into HIV, eventually leading to death. AIDS was first discovered in the United States in 1981. Researchers and scientists say that the origin of HIV may come from Central African Republic. Even in the United States alone, there are about 65,000 new cases each year, but it continues to increase. (Brook, Robert - Nurse Handbook, page 149 - Copyright. 1992)
