Every year, May 18 marks World AIDS바카라 웹사이트Vaccine바카라 웹사이트Day;바카라 웹사이트a바카라 웹사이트day to emphasize on the urgency of an effective HIV vaccine to prevent AIDS. It is also considered as a바카라 웹사이트day to바카라 웹사이트express바카라 웹사이트our heartfelt gratitude towards바카라 웹사이트the innumerable volunteers, community members, health professionals바카라 웹사이트and scientists who are바카라 웹사이트working tirelessly to invent a바카라 웹사이트safe and effective vaccine to prevent Human Immunodeficinecy Virus (HIV).

History and significance of World AIDS바카라 웹사이트Vaccine바카라 웹사이트Day

Since the year of 1998,바카라 웹사이트May 18 has been observed globally as바카라 웹사이트World AIDS Vaccination Day.바카라 웹사이트The origin of the day is rooted in a commencement speech delivered by the erstwhile US President Bill Clinton back in I997. In his speech, he stated that a vaccine was the only measure that caould바카라 웹사이트control the transmission of HIV and eventually wipe it out. The day has been commemorated from the following year of 1998.

How World AIDS Vaccination Day is celebrated across the globe

In a bid to raise awareness about HIV and AIDS vaccines, prevention and educate people, every year communities across the globe organise various activities and awareness campaigns on this day.바카라 웹사이트May 18 is바카라 웹사이트also known as HIV Vaccine Awareness Day.바카라 웹사이트

What is AIDS?

AIDS or Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome is a transmissible disease caused by the Human Immuno Deficiency virus바카라 웹사이트which primarily disrupts the normal functional rhythm of body's defence mechanism against any infection and eventually leads to compromised immune system. The term 'acquired' is used to imply that it happens only when a바카라 웹사이트person becomes infected with a virus.

The disease is transmissible through body fluids including infected blood, semen or vaginal fluids. Unprotected sexual contact, usage of uncleaned needles for바카라 웹사이트drawing blood, tranfusion of unscreened blood are among the causes of getting infected by the HIV virus.바카라 웹사이트

How much progress has science made in finding a preventive vaccine?

Unfortunately, the world is yet to possess the vaccine that can pevent AIDS. As a matter of fact, a long list of obstacles have been causing massive hindrances in developing a vaccine to battle the disease that has taken away so many lives. But, the mammoth scientific fraternity across the globe is still on a quest to discover a panacea to fight it off.바카라 웹사이트

Multiple setbacks since 1987, when research on HIV was initiated for the first time at the National Institutes of Health, Maryland, USA, though have helped the scientists바카라 웹사이트to outline the underlying causes behind the failure to design an effective vaccine for HIV.바카라 웹사이트

Rapid mutating capacity of the HIV is one of the primary reasons behind it as the vaccines developed so far become ineffective once the virus changes its form.Also, universally scientists consider바카라 웹사이트the immune responses generated by the surviviors of a disease as a standard reference frame to create a vaccine. The immune responses are often mimicked in fact to optimise the바카라 웹사이트vaccine's effectiveness. Bit in this case they fail to apply the similar modus operandi as no individual so far has recuperated from the disease.바카라 웹사이트

Till date, the individuals infected with HIV are treated with anti-retroviral therapy (ART) which includes a combination of multiple drugs to reduce the viral load in their body.
