HIV/ AIDS
Diffusion of HIV/AIDS
The Diffusion of Innovations is characterized by four elements: an innovation, communicated via certain channels, over a period of time, to members of a social system.
HIV/AIDS can be spread through any type of unprotected sex if one of the partners has the virus. Sharing needles to inject drugs or steroids is another way that HIV can be passed to other people.
Also, newborn babies are at risk of getting the HIV virus from their mothers if they're infected.
Scientists identified a type of chimpanzee in West Africa as the source of HIV infection in humans. They believe that the chimpanzee version of the immunodeficiency virus most likely was transmitted to humans and mutated into HIV when humans hunted these chimpanzees for meat and came into contact with their infected blood.
how HIV/AIDS started
Is there a cure for HIV/AIDS ?
There is currently no cure for HIV/AIDS. Although antiretroviral treatment can suppress HIV – the virus that causes AIDS – and can delay AIDS-related illness for many years, it cannot clear the virus completely.
Health Care in developed and devloping nations.
Health care in developing nations is not the best. They spend less on health care and lack immunizationans. They don't have a lot of equipment or recource. They only have about 20 hospital beds for 10,000 people. The developing countires also are very poor. They can afford much stuff . Developed nations spend more on they're health care and they use part of they're wealth to aid the sick. Developed nations are hard pressed to maintain thier current levels of public assistence with medical services .
