If a vaccine against the HIV/AIDS virus were available, do you think the global pandemic would eventually be contained
If a vaccine against the HIV/AIDS virus were available, I think the global pandemic would eventually be contained because a vaccine will prepare our body immunologically in advance for the infection with the virus. The vaccine imitates the infection and generates a pool of T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes that prepare the body to fight against an encounter with the same infection that is mimicked (CDC).

How would you develop a subunit vaccine against herpes simplex virus?
AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) afflicts 38 million people worldwide. Almost 3 million people died from AIDs in 2003 alone, and over 20 million have died since the epidemic began. A vaccine that could prevent or slow down the spread of this deadly disease would be a boon to the world. However, since 1981 when the first cases of AIDS were diagnosed, researchers have been unsuccessful in their attempts to develop such a vaccine. The efforts of a company called VaxGen...
Considering all we know today about HIV//AIDS, do you believe a physician should have the right to refuse certain patient cases based on a patient's diagnosis? Conversely, should patients have the right to refuse to be seen by healthcare providers who are HIV+ or have AIDS (not that this protected health information would be available, but think about it!)
HIV/AIDS is still a major problem in the Usa Explain why or why not Do you think HIV/Aids is still a stigmaized diseases
You want to make a live virus vaccine against the COVID-19 virus by using zoonotic coronaviruses, i.e. coronaviruses that currently infect other species and therefore grow poorly in humans. i) What is the advantage of using a virus for the vaccine instead of just injecting spike protein from the COVID-19 virus ii) You obtain the DNA sequence of two coronaviruses that infect bats or foxes. The partial sequence of the spike protein from the human virus, and from these two...
7. What are the contraindications to live virus vaccine immunizations? 8. Why would a new drug developed to treat a biological or chemical agent be more harmful than beneficial to the pediatric patient? 9. Identify common diseases that can be spread through bioterrorism. 10. Describe the categories that classify HIV/AIDS according to the CDC.
Question 39 (1 point) HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. In the mid-1990s, researchers discovered an enzyme in HIV called protease. Once the enzyme's structure was known, researchers began looking for drugs that would fit into the active site and block it. If this strategy for stopping HIV infections were successful, it would be an example of what phenomenon? allosteric regulation vaccination O O O C poisoning competitive inhibition
What factors inhibited the early war against acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)? Do you believe the AIDS outbreak could have been stopped? Why or why not? What role does advocacy play in the film? How much publicity does HIV/AIDS receive today? What’s the story of HIV/AIDS in the 21st century? Explain.
What do you think about using the aids virus being used to cure patients sickle cell anemia disease?
AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome), caused by the HIV virus is very common in Zaire. The virus infects T cells of individuals by binding to a protein on the surface of T cells, named CCR5. Scientists observed that some people in Zaire never developed AIDS, even when they were exposed to the virus. They thought this could be due to the fact that CCR5 gene has two alleles in the Zairean population (CCR5-S (S); sensitive to AIDS; and CCR-R (R): resistant...
