HIV/AIDS need billions in funding to avoid 'deep trouble' 04.08.2022

About 1.5 million people got HIV in 2021 — a million more than predicted. Experts say AIDS programs "suffered" due to COVID and we have to get back on track.

28.09.2018 HIV infected cell, SEM HIV infected cell. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a 293T cell infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV, blue dots). Small spherical virus particles, visible on the surface, are in the process of budding from the cell membrane. Any non highlighted vesicles of uneven shape are exosomes, thought to be involved in cell communication and transmission of disease, and under investigation as a means of drug delivery. Because 293T cells have lost their ability to protect themselves from viral infection, something that all cells are normally very good at, 293T are easily transfected, or infected, and can be used to produce large amounts of virus. This makes these cells an extraordinarily valuable tool in medicine and research. Magnification: x6600 at 10cm wide.

40 years of HIV/AIDS: The progression of a pandemic 01.12.2021

About 38 million people live with HIV, the virus that leads to AIDS. Since the first cases in 1981, almost an equal number have died with it. Where to now?

ARCHIV 2005 *** SINGI, UGANDA - DECEMBER 3: Christina Masete (25), a laboratory technician of the local Aids Information Center collects a sample of blood from the finger of a child to test him for HIV as part of a testing campaign in rural villages on December 3, 2005 in Singi, 180 Km south of the capital Kampala, Uganda.
