HIV AIDS History

HIV AIDS History

HIV is described as Human deficiency Syndrome

. HIV virus attacks on CD4 cells that protect human body from any infection and disease. It weakens these cells gradually and at the end overcomes with them. As a result of this the immune system gets collapsed and human body succumbs to the HIV Aids. This virus reproduces itself and hides in CD4 cells. It would be essential to know the HIV AIDS history.

Let us have a look on HIV history

Central Africa might have been the site of evolution of HIV. It was perhaps a transformation of an African monkey’s virus. Some people think that it could be an accidental product of biological warfare research. HIV time line started early in 1981. In that year in July month the New York Times described an outbreak of a rare form of cancer among gay men in New York itself. It was called as a gay cancer at that time later on identified as Kaposi's Sarcoma. This disease later became the appearance of HIV/AIDS. After that emergency rooms began to see some symptoms like fever, flu like symptoms and rare pneumonia called as Pneumocystis in healthy young men. It was the beginning of the disease that now has become the biggest concern of the world.
