The document defines AIDS as Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, caused by the HIV virus which weakens the immune system over time. It is transmitted through sexual contact, sharing needles, or from mother to child during birth. Having HIV is not the same as having AIDS, as HIV can be present for years without symptoms. AIDS is diagnosed when the immune system is seriously damaged, allowing opportunistic infections. While there is no cure for AIDS, treatment drugs can slow the virus and related damage to prolong life.
HIV/AIDS damages the immune system over time and is caused by the HIV virus. It is spread through unprotected sex, contaminated blood transfusions, sharing needles, and from mother to child during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding. Symptoms of HIV/AIDS range from flu-like symptoms in early stages to infections and weight loss in later stages. HIV/AIDS affects society by impacting families, health systems, businesses, and education. Preventative measures include education, regular testing, monogamy, condom use, treatment during pregnancy/childbirth, avoiding breastfeeding or needle sharing.
HIV is a virus that causes AIDS by attacking immune cells called CD4 cells. It is believed to have originated from chimpanzees in Cameroon in the late 19th century. HIV spreads through sexual contact, blood transmission, and from mother to child during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding. While a cure does not exist, treatment with antiretroviral drugs can control the virus and prolong life.
This document provides information about HIV/AIDS, including that HIV finds and destroys white blood cells called CD4 cells, weakening the immune system over time and allowing opportunistic infections. AIDS is the final stage of HIV infection when the immune system is seriously impaired. HIV is transmitted through certain body fluids and can be prevented by abstinence, limiting partners, condom use, clean needles, and getting tested.
1. HIV is a virus that causes AIDS by attacking lymphocytes and weakening the immune system. AIDS develops when immunity is destroyed, leaving the body vulnerable to infections.
2. HIV is transmitted through certain body fluids like blood, semen, vaginal fluids from an infected person. The most common ways of transmission are unprotected sex, sharing needles, infected blood transfusions, and from mother to child during pregnancy, childbirth or breastfeeding.
3. There is currently no cure for HIV/AIDS but improved medical treatments can manage the infection. Getting tested is the only way to know one's HIV status.

HIV/AIDS is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) which weakens a person's immune system by destroying important white blood cells, known as CD4 cells or T cells. Over time, HIV can destroy so many of these cells that the body cannot fight off infections and disease, at which point the person is said to have developed AIDS. HIV is most often transmitted via sexual contact with an infected person, sharing needles/syringes with an infected person, or from an infected mother to her child during pregnancy, childbirth or breastfeeding. While treatment cannot cure HIV/AIDS, proper medical care can slow down the damage to the immune system and help infected individuals lead long and productive lives.
This document provides information about HIV/AIDS, including definitions of HIV and AIDS, how HIV attacks and destroys immune cells, how HIV is transmitted, testing and treatment options, and recommendations for preventing transmission. It seeks to separate facts from common misconceptions and outlines the risks of contracting HIV as well as signs and symptoms of infection. Resources for further information and local testing sites are provided.
HIV originates from non-human primates in Africa and was transmitted to humans through bushmeat consumption and exposure to infected blood. It has evolved into a global pandemic transmitted primarily through sexual contact, blood transfusions, and from mother to child. The virus infects CD4 cells of the immune system and progresses through four stages - from an initial infection with flu-like symptoms, to a long asymptomatic stage, then a symptomatic stage with opportunistic infections, and finally AIDS where the immune system is severely compromised. While there is no cure for HIV/AIDS, antiretroviral treatment can effectively control the virus and prevent transmission from mother to child.

HIV can lead to AIDS if not properly managed, with no cure currently available. Over 1 million people in the US live with HIV, though many are unaware of their infection status. HIV spreads through contact with bodily fluids and is most common among gay/bisexual men. Consistent condom use and getting tested regularly can help reduce risk of transmission. While treatment can suppress HIV and reduce risk of passing it to others, abstinence and limiting partners are the most effective prevention methods.
This document discusses HIV/AIDS. It begins by explaining that AIDS is a disease caused by the HIV virus that attacks and weakens the immune system, leaving those infected vulnerable to other diseases and infections. It then describes how HIV is contracted through unprotected sex, contact with infected bodily fluids, and sharing needles. The document also outlines ways to prevent transmission, such as abstinence, condom use, and not sharing items with infected blood. Treatment options like antiretroviral drugs are mentioned, as well as the importance of diet, healthy living, and a positive attitude for those living with HIV/AIDS.
This document discusses sexually transmitted infections (STIs), their symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. It notes that STIs are commonly spread through sexual contact and many show no symptoms. It describes common STIs like chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes, and HIV/AIDS. For STIs with symptoms, it explains they may include sores, discharge or burning during urination. The document stresses that prevention through abstinence or condom use is key to avoiding STIs and that seeing a doctor is important if symptoms arise or exposure is suspected.

This document provides information about HIV/AIDS, including what it is, how it is transmitted, symptoms, and prevention. It defines HIV as the virus that causes AIDS by weakening the immune system. AIDS is the late stage of HIV infection when the immune system is severely damaged. HIV can be transmitted via blood, semen, vaginal fluids, breast milk, and other bodily fluids through sexual contact, needle sharing, or from mother to child during pregnancy, birth or breastfeeding. Prevention methods include safe sex practices and not sharing needles.
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) can be spread through sexual contact, blood transmission, or from mother to child. While some people may be asymptomatic for years, HIV is a chronic condition that can progress to AIDS if left untreated. Regular testing and early treatment can help prevent complications and prolong life for those living with HIV.
HIV/AIDS is caused by the HIV virus which weakens the immune system. There are two types of HIV viruses - HIV-1 which is present worldwide and HIV-2 which is mainly found in Africa. Common symptoms of HIV/AIDS include fever, diarrhea, cough and weight loss. The virus can be transmitted through unprotected sex or sharing needles but cannot be spread through casual contact. Detection tests include spot tests and viral load tests. Prevention methods include safe sex practices, avoiding infected needles, and getting adequate rest and nutrition.
HIV damages CD4+ T cells, weakening the immune system and potentially leading to AIDS. It is primarily spread through unprotected sex and sharing needles. Scientists believe HIV originated in chimpanzees in West Africa and was transmitted to humans through blood contact with infected chimpanzees. AIDS refers to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, characterized by infections and cancers that occur when the immune system is weakened by HIV. While treatment cannot cure HIV/AIDS, antiretroviral drugs in combination can suppress the virus indefinitely and delay the onset of AIDS.
There is no vaccine or cure for HIV, but treatment can allow those infected to live long and healthy lives. HIV is transmitted through certain bodily fluids, primarily blood, semen, rectal fluids, vaginal fluids and breast milk. Common ways of transmission include unprotected sex and sharing drug equipment. While oral sex poses a lower risk, safer sex practices like condoms are recommended. Anyone can acquire HIV regardless of age, sex, race or sexual orientation. Regular testing is important since there may be no symptoms initially despite one's ability to transmit the virus. With medical care, including treatment during pregnancy, the risk of transmitting HIV from mother to child can be reduced to less than 2%.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
