Summary Introduction

To explain: The approaches to be taken by a researcher while developing new HIV treatments.

Introduction: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), a RNA virus causes one of the deadliest diseases. The virus compromises the immune systems and is highly mutative. Therefore, it is difficult to develop to vaccines or treatment for the same. HIV spreads to unprotected sexual intercourse, sharing of needles, blood transfusion, and from an affected mother to her child.

Summary Introduction

To suggest: Public policy decisions to recommend that might help slow the spread of HIV while new treatments or vaccines are being developed.

HIV research task Use the HIV article to answer the following questions: • When was HIV first identified? How many people are estimated to be living with HIV? Draw a labelled diagram of HIV and briefly explain the functions of each part What cells does HIV infect? Explain how HIV enters these cells HIV is a retrovirus. What do retroviruses do once they have entered a host cell? Why is there little to no immune response following infection by HIV? Why is it difficult to diagnose? • What is the difference between HIV and AIDS? • How does HIV lead to AIDS? • How is HIV transmitted? There isn't a drug to cure HIV although drugs are used to keep the viral load low to prevent regression into AIDS. Explain how these drugs work. .
I’m stuck on this for biology homework I need help! A company was testing a new drug thought would help decrease the risk of transmission of virus from mother to fetus. In an experiment to test the drug, an investigator gave 400 pregnant female rats a small dose of the experimental drug and inoculated each with a type of virus known cause disease in rats. At the same time, 400 other pregnant rats were given only the virus. All rats were given the same food and kept on idmolsr cages. Of the rat pups born were given only the virus. All rats were given the same food and kept in similar cages. Of the rat pups born to the females that received both the virus and the drug, 203 showed no symptoms of the disease: 205/rat pups born to the virus-only females showed symptoms. What is the hypothesis? What is the independent variable? What is the dependent variable? What are the controlled variables or constants? What is the control?
As conversations  about vaccines goes on around  the various social media platforms,why would scientists want to study these conversations and what might they may be able to learn from these social networks?
