A study by a team of researchers in the university of California in Los Angeles could prove to be vital in finding cure for HIV in the future. The UCLA led study continues research on a strategy called kick and kill which many of the same scientists described in a 2017 paper. The approach gently arranges the virus to reveal itself in infected cells so it can then be targeted and killed.

Nearly two years into the COVID-19 pandemic, we are still a long way from ending it. But there’s another infectious threat that, after more than 40 years, is not over either – the HIV/AIDS epidemic. On World AIDS 2021, WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus calls on governments and citizens to use every tool in the toolbox to narrow inequalities, prevent HIV infections, save lives, and end the AIDS epidemic.

It’s World AIDS Day!

The World Health Organization (WHO) has set Dec. 1 as World AIDS Day to help raise awareness and show support for people living with HIV.

Did you know?

If the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), a virus that attacks the body’s immune system, is not treated, it can lead to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).

Currently, there is no effective cure to HIV/AIDS.

The latest data from the Department of Health’s (DOH) HIV/AIDS & ART Registry of the Philippines (HARP) released in September show that there are 90,960 total reported cases of HIV from January 1984 to September 2021. Of this, 54,022 people living with HIV (PLHIV) are presently on antiretroviral therapy (ART).

In the Philippines, males are the most affected by this disease, with 85,578 total reported cases, while reported cases among females stand at 5,371 from 1984 to September this year.

The ages of reported cases range from 1 to 81 years with a median of 32 years old.
