Question 7

what causes aids?

Accepted Answer

Immune Destruction: Immune destruction caused by the death or weakening on the immune cells by a chronic infection caused by the HIV virus. At some point, usually years after infection, the immune system cannot keep up with the chronic destruction of its cells and weakens to  a point where it can no longer fight off infections, even simple ones.

Question 8

how did aids start?

Accepted Answer

Monkey blood: Most likely through contact with the blood of infected monkeys during the hunting and butchering process in africa.  In the latter half of the 20th century, improved transportation systems in africa allowed more travel within and outside of the continent, allowing it to spread beyond the small villages where it probably existed for decades before the actual aids pandemic began.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Antivirals: Proper treatment with antiviral medications has made living with HIV infection much easier.  I care for more than 250 HIV infected people and almost all are doing really well.  I go to my patients' funerals and over the past 10 years, there haven't been many at all.
