'HIV/AIDS' Scientific Breakthrough; Newest Possible Treatment For 'HIV/AIDS' Offers Ray Of Hope
The mere fact that people continue to get infected HIV/AIDS pose a high concern in the country. It is no respecter of gender, age or even status in life.
One out of eight people living in the US are not aware that they are "HIV" positive. To date, an estimate of 1.2 million documented people in the US has the dreaded illness. The numbers went down to 19 % from 2005 to 2014, where mostly bisexual and African Americans are affected. The government's prevention efforts seem to be paving the way to the success in lowering the numbers.
To date, about 36.7 million people living around the world are suffering with "HIV/AIDS". Africa was the hardest hit where everyday 1,000 are infected. And what is more frustrating is the fact that 1.8 million in the statistics are children not over 15 years of age. The victims were children from HIV carrier mommies, transferred the illness via childbirth or breastfeeding. The increased population of ill people lives within the sub-Saharan Africa.
A breakthrough has been discovered giving a ray of hope among "HIV/AIDS" carriers, through a vial. The tube is under a clinical trial simultaneous with a movement to alleviate AIDS, and campaigns for the children to be free from the debilitating disease. Currently, a trial tagged as HVTN 702 was launched following the success in vial experiment done in Thailand in 2009. Study showed 31.2 percent effective prevention rate provided that the infected person must undergo a rigorous 3.5 years of follow-up. The primer enrolls 5,400 people within 18 to 35 age range within South Africa where the largest HIV clinical trial is bound to happen.
Vice President and Director of Research at the Foundation for AIDS, Dr. Rowena Johnston states that one of the major obstacles is to ensure high risk people be able to get an early detection and prevention opportunity. By 2020, the experts' target is to produce a cure that is grounded in technology and science.
