HIV: Cause and Effect
[ send me this paper ]
For many years, the origin of the HIV virus was unknown. Now, scientists believe that a subspecies of chimpanzee native to west equatorial Africa has been identified as the original source of HIV-1. AIDS was first described in 1981, and the virus responsible for causing it, HIV, was initially reported in 1983. Since those early phases, there has been substantial epidemiological evidence that this is the most important epidemic of the twentieth century, both in terms of its toll on young adults in the United States and its toll in much of the developing world. The epidemic has been addressed by a broad-based attack: basic science studies, prevention efforts, immunology studies, vaccine development, and treatment. This 8 page paper explores the cause and effects of the HIV virus. Bibliography lists 12 sources.
