HIV story 🗞️🧞♀️#womeninscience “Even the smallest of insects could capture my attention for hours.” #species “To tell you the truth, I was more interested in becoming a doctor but I realized that I was from a family of modest means, and I had a false idea in my mind that obtaining a medical degree was longer and much more expensive than getting a science degree. So that’s how I originally made my decision to study science instead of medicine. However, I realized that I was wrong because the length of study was about the same.” “I don’t know how people can work without a network of collaboration,” -https://lnkd.in/d7XPz6Af 📚🚀Françoise Barré-Sinoussi Françoise Barré-Sinoussi has always loved nature and spent her school vacations observing animals and plants in the parks of her home town of Paris, France. In 1983, Françoise Barré-Sinoussi discovered a retrovirus in patients with swollen lymph glands that attacked lymphocytes. 📖💡 1) Institut Pasteur: https://lnkd.in/dFPNUWZj 2)AIDS foundation: https://lnkd.in/d2P6S5US (Story and AIDS) 3) https://lnkd.in/dRBzvsH5 ( CDC, There is currently no effective cure. Once people get HIV, they have it for life. But with proper medical care, HIV can be controlled. People with HIV who get effective HIV treatment can live long, healthy lives and protect their partners.) #hivawareness 4) HIV remains a major global public health issue, having claimed 40.4 million [32.9–51.3 million] lives so far with ongoing transmission in all countries globally (https://lnkd.in/dgvkRpGN) #WHO 5) HIV is thought to have occurred after people ate chimps that were carrying the Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV). Origins of HIV and the AIDS Pandemic. They has showed that AIDS has likely afflicted chimpanzees long before the emergence of HIV. Tracing the genetic changes that occurred as SIVs crossed from monkeys to apes and from apes to humans provides a new framework to examine the requirements of successful host switches and to gauge future zoonotic risk. (2011, https://lnkd.in/dbNV7y5s) #evolution #monkey 6)💡 All HIVs do derive from simian species, but AIDS does not qualify as a zoonosis and this explanation cannot in itself account for the origin of AIDS epidemic.
