Dr Becky Kuhn from AIDSvideos.org presents "Did I Just Contract HIV? Symptoms of Primary HIV Infection". From the description, "It's sometimes possible to recognize when you've recently contracted HIV from signs and symptoms such as fever, rash, or swollen lymph nodes. This video will teach you how to recognize signs and symptoms of primary HIV infection that are experienced by between 40 and 90% of individuals after they are first infected with HIV.

HIV Replication 3D Medical AnimationJan 27, 2012
It is a very excellent animation which explains the hiv replication very clearly. For free download of this video please visit my webpage 3dmed.wetpaint.com And other 3D animation videos visit 3dmed.wetpaint.com Regards, Dr.Rufus The Lyrics of this video is here Targeting HIV replication The replication of HIV 1 is a multi-stage process. Each step is crucial to successful replication and is therefore a potential target of antiretroviral drugs. Step one is the infection of a suitable host-cell, such as a CD4-positive T-lymphocyte. Entry of HIV into the cell requires the presence of certain receptors on the cell surface, CD4 -- receptors and co-receptors such as CCR5 or CXCR4. These receptors interact with protein-complexes, which are embedded in the viral envelope. These complexes are composed of two glycoproteins: an extracellular gp 120 and a transmembrane gp 41 When HIV approaches the target cell gp120 binds to the CD4-receptors. This process is termed attachment. It promotes further binding to a co-receptor. Co-receptor binding results in a conformational change in gp120. This allows gp41 to unfold and insert its hydrophobic terminus into the cell membrane. Gp 41 then folds back on itself. This draws the virus towards the cell and facilitates the fusion of their membranes. The viral nucleocapsid enters the host cell and breaks open releasing two viral RNA-strands and 3 essential replication enzymes: Integrase, Protease and Reverse Transcriptase. Reverse Transcriptase ...

Did I Just Contract HIV? Signs and Symptoms of HIVJan 23, 2012
It's sometimes possible to recognize when you've recently contracted HIV from signs and symptoms such as fever, rash, or swollen lymph nodes. This video will teach you how to recognize signs and symptoms of primary HIV infection that are experienced by between 40 and 90% of individuals after they are first infected with HIV. Primary HIV infection occurs during the first few weeks or months after a person first becomes infected with HIV. Symptoms include rash and/or fevers, possibly in combination with one or more of the following symptoms: malaise (which is a general feeling of weakness, discomfort, and fatigue), loss of appetite, weight loss, a sore throat, sores in the mouth, joint or muscle pain, swollen lymph nodes, diarrhea, fatigue, night sweats, nausea and vomiting, headache, or genital sores. The symptoms usually last from seven to ten days, and rarely more than two weeks. There is an incubation period of a few days to a few weeks between when the person was exposed to HIV and when the symptoms begin. If you have any of these symptoms and think there's even the slightest chance you might have been exposed to HIV, such as through recent sexual activity or sharing a needle, even with someone who you believe is HIV negative, you should see a doctor and ask to be tested for HIV. When you go to the doctor with any of these symptoms, it's very important to mention any risk factors you may have for HIV so they could test you. If you have ever had unprotected sex, even ...

HIV/AIDS vaccine developed at Western proceeding to human clinical trialsJan 21, 2012
London, Ontario CANADA --The first and only preventative HIV vaccine based on a genetically modified killed whole virus has received approval by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to start human clinical trials. Developed by Dr. Chil-Yong Kang and his team at The University of Western Ontario, with the support of Sumagen Canada, the vaccine (SAV001) holds tremendous promise, having already proven to stimulate strong immune responses in preliminary toxicology tests with no adverse effects or safety risks. It is the only HIV vaccine currently under development in Canada, and one of only a few in the world.

HIV Research: Seeking Solutions in Africa (HD version)Dec 18, 2011
More than 1.8 million people die of HIV-related causes each year—approximately 5000 deaths per day. HIV is a particularly significant threat in the sub-Saharan region of Africa. Researchers in South Africa and Boston are working with Microsoft Research to fight HIV. The effort is led by Bruce Walker, director of the Ragon Institute at Massachusetts General Hospital, MIT and Harvard, and a professor of medicine at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. He is joined by David Heckerman, Distinguished Scientist, Microsoft Research, who explains that as our immune system tries to block HIV, the virus mutates to evade the immune system. The researchers are cataloging fragments of HIV that are vulnerable to attack by the immune system. The amount of data generated is enormous, but by using thousands of Microsoft machines working in parallel, researchers are able to make computations in a matter of hours that would take years on a single computer. Through research like this, Walker believes that a solution to the HIV epidemic can be developed. Like many other dedicated researchers, he is devoting his career to finding such a solution.
Clinic Wrongly Told Him He Was HIV-PositiveJan 17, 2012
DC Man Files Lawsuit Claiming Whitman-Walker Clinic Wrongly Told Him He Was HIV-Positive WASHINGTON - A DC man says he walked around for five years thinking he was HIV-positive when he was actually not. Terry Hedgepeth says he was misdiagnosed in 2000 by the Whitman-Walker Clinic. He says the misdiagnosis drove him into a deep depression. In 2005, a friend suggested he seek holistic healing. He went to the Abundant Life Center where he was tested and told he was HIV-negative. A third round of testing at Johns Hopkins confirmed it. Hedgepeth launched a lawsuit, but it was thrown out because the law said you could only sue if there was physical injury. Then just last week, a DC Appeals Court expanded the law to include emotional injury and gave Hedgepeth the green light to sue. A lawyer for Whitman-Walker released a statement saying they are looking carefully at the ruling before making their next move in the pending legal matter. www.omsj.org
All You Wanted To Know About HIV
UNAIDS has found that in 2009 an estimated 33.3 million people worldwide were living with HIV, with another 2.6 million new infections having taken place that year! However, these rates were found to be lower than the previous years in terms of new infection, infected as well AIDS related deaths. This may be due to the fact that more than 5 million people are now receiving treatment for HIV thanks to increasing access to therapy. The Human Immuno Deficiency Virus (HIV) causes Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome in people. A person who suffers from HIV eventually loses all control and protection of his or her immune systems. The virus attacks the defense of the immune system thereby making a person prone to infections and diseases. It does s ...
