Legislating AIDS away.

چکیده
Every 18 seconds someone, somewhere is infected with HIV. The scale of the epidemic has not been exaggerated. On average, HIV-infected individuals have their immune system destroyed by this virus over a 9 year period, resulting in the acquisition after that time of an immune deficiency state (AIDS). Once defenceless, many organisms may seize upon the opportunity presented and infect an unresisting host in a way that would be impossible, if even meagre defensive forces were available. Patients with AIDS seldom survive for more than two and a half years from the onset of their first opportunistic infection.
