- AIDS has the potential to create severe economic impacts in many African countries. It is. different from most other diseases because it strikes people in the most productive age. groups and is essentially 100 percent fatal. The effects will vary according to the severity. of the AIDS epidemic and the structure of the national economies. The two major. economic effects are a reduction in the labor supply and increased costs: Labor Supply. • The loss of young adults in their most productive years will affect overall. economic output.

HIV/AIDS Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) causes HIV infection and AIDS. The virus attacks the immune system. As the immune system weakens, the body is vulnerable to life-threatening infections and cancers. Once a person has the virus, it stays inside the body for life.

Editorial: Trump's pitiably wrong on Haitians, AIDS Education and health care initiatives deserve credit. So, too, do U.S. funding specifically tied to eliminating AIDS and the work of GHESKIO, the largest AIDS clinic in the Caribbean. According to UNAIDS, HIV cases and AIDS-related deaths in Haiti have fallen by about 25 percent since 2010, when the earthquake interrupted some efforts.

Complications of HIV Infection: A Systems-Based Approach CARDIOVASCULAR COMPLICATIONS. Studies demonstrate higher rates of myocardial infarction and atherosclerosis in patients with HIV infection. 17, 18 HIV appears to independently increase the risk of cardiovascular disease via elevated cytokine levels, chronic vascular inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction. 19 Traditional risk factors, such as smoking, are also prevalent in patients with HIV infection.

HIV The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a lentivirus (a subgroup of retrovirus) that causes HIV infection and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).AIDS is a condition in humans in which progressive failure of the immune system allows life-threatening opportunistic infections and cancers to thrive.Without treatment, average survival time after infection with HIV is estimated to be 9 to 11 years, depending on the HIV subtype.nfection with HIV occurs by the transfer of blood, semen, vaginal fluid, pre-ejaculate, or breast milk. Within these bodily fluids, HIV is present as both free virus particles and virus within infected immune cells.

- HIV/AIDS and Opportunistic Infections. HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) attacks the body's white blood cells -- specifically a subset called CD4 or helper T cells. This attack allows opportunistic infections to take advantage of a weakened immune system, and can lead to illnesses, cancers, or neurological problems.

HIV The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a lentivirus (a subgroup of retrovirus) that causes HIV infection and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).AIDS is a condition in humans in which progressive failure of the immune system allows life-threatening opportunistic infections and cancers to thrive.IV infection leads to low levels of CD4+ T cells through a number of mechanisms, including pyroptosis of abortively infected T cells, apoptosis of uninfected bystander cells, direct viral killing of infected cells, and killing of infected CD4 + T cells by CD8 cytotoxic lymphocytes that recognize infected cells.
