is a picture of two doctors called Dr. Conant and Dr. Volberg discussing Kaposi's Sarcoma circa 1981. Kaposi's Sarcoma (KS) was a rare form of relatively benign cancer that tended to occur in older people. But by March 1981 at least eight cases of a more aggressive form of KS had occurred amongst young gay men in New York. At about the same time there was an increase, in both California and New York, in the number of cases of a rare lung infection Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP). In April this increase in PCP was noticed at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta. A drug technician, Sandra Ford, noticed a high number of requests for the drug pentamine, used in the treatment of PCP. In June, the CDC published a report about the occurrence, without identifiable cause, of PCP in five men in Los Angeles. This report is sometimes referred to as the "beginning" of AIDS, but it might be more accurate to describe it as the beginning of the general awareness of AIDS in the USA.
picture of HIV co-discoverer Dr. Robert Gallo. On April 23rd 1984, the United States Health and Human Services Secretary Margaret Heckler announced that Dr. Robert Gallo of the National Cancer Institute had isolated the virus which caused AIDS, that it was named HTLV-III, and that there would soon be a commercially available test for the virus. The same day patent applications were filed covering Gallo's work, but it was clearly a possibility that LAV French virus isolate and HTLV-III were the same virus.
a picture of AZT, the first approved antiretroviral drug for treatment of HIV and AIDS. In March 1987, the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved AZT to be used as a treatment for AIDS
a picture of AIDS activists. In many occasions, AIDS activists organised marches to spur AIDS research and to make experimental treatments more widely available, during late 80's to early 90's
A picture of a roadside sign in Botswana. The sign is used to educate people about HIV and AIDS http://www.avert.org/pictures/aidsbotswana.htm
a picture of HIV and AIDS awareness raising among young people in Mexico. Educating young people about HIV and AIDS is important in the prevention of new HIV infections
picture of HIV and AIDS prevention where drug users are helped to practise safer behaviours. It is estimated that up to 10 million people worldwide inject drugs. Stopping the spread of HIV among injecting drug users requires a comprehensive approach: treatment and rehabilitation, HIV/AIDS education, access to clean needles/syringes and condoms, legal and social services and voluntary HIV testing and counselling
is a picture of a camel wearing a banner that says 'protect yourself from AIDS' and pulling a float on World AIDS Day in Jodhpur in India, 2000. India has had a sharp increase in the estimated number of HIV infections, from a few thousand in the early 1990s to a working estimate of about 3.9 million children and adults living with HIV/AIDS in 2001.
a picture of HIV and AIDS prevention among truck drivers in South Delhi, India. India has had a sharp increase in the estimated number of HIV infections, from a few thousand in the early 1990s to a working estimate of about 3.9 million children and adults living with HIV/AIDS in 2001. with a population of over one billion, the HIV epidemics in India will have a major impact on the overall spread of HIV in Asia and the Pacific and indeed worldwide
a picture of people looking at the AIDS quilt. In San Francisco, gay rights activist Cleve Jones made the first panel for the AIDS Memorial Quilt in memory of his friend Marvin Feldman in 1987. The Names project is a campaign to provide memorials to those lives by creating a huge quilt made up of individual panels, each 3 by 6 feet, that have been made by families, friends and co-workers of those who died. Each of the panels, which have come from all over the country, bears the name of a victim of acquired immune deficiency.
picture of an animated HIV and AIDS prevention advertisement in Peru. The text reads as 'AIDS is incurable and fatal. You must prevent it.' It has been estimated that there were 53,000 adults and children living with HIV/AIDS in Peru, at the end of 2001.
a picture of outreach HIV and AIDS prevention in the UK. The HIV and AIDS prevention poster reads as 'Enjoy safer sex'. At the end of March 2002, there have been 49,715 reports of individuals who have had HIV infection diagnosed in the UK.
is a picture of HIV/AIDS education and prevention in a school in Uganda. Uganda, one of the first countries in sub-Saharan Africa to experience the devastating impact of HIV/AIDS and to take action to control the epidemic, is one of the rare success stories in a region that has been ravaged by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. While the rate of new infections continues to increase in most countries in sub-Saharan Africa, Uganda has succeeded in lowering its very high infection rates. Since 1993, HIV infection rates among pregnant women, a key indicator of the progress of the epidemic, have been more than halved in some areas and infection rates among men seeking treatment for sexually transmitted infections have dropped by over a third
a picture of HIV/AIDS education in Uganda. Children learn more about HIV/AIDS at school. Uganda is a country that has slowed the spread of the disease through extensive public education and political leadership. Sub-Saharan Africa is the region of the world that is most affected by HIV/AIDS. An estimated 29.4 million people are living with HIV/AIDS and approximately 3.5 million new infections occurred in Sub-Saharan Africa in 2002. In just the past year, the epidemic has claimed the lives of an estimated 2.4 million Africans. Ten million young people (aged 15-24) and almost 3 million children under 15 are living with HIV
Needle exchanges supply packs of injecting equipment including needles, syringes and swabs.
a picture of a young HIV-positive mother of three in Tanzania. She learned that she was HIV-positive when she delivered her youngest child, now three years old, who was born with the HIV. Her husband abandoned her and their children, the older two whom are not infected with HIV.
a picture of a young HIV-positive woman meditating at a temple in a hospice.
a picture of an HIV-positive mother with her uninfected daughter.
a picture of HIV-positive people attending to a march in South Africa. Since 1996, people with HIV and AIDS who live in well resourced countries have been able to benefit from taking a combination of HIV antiretroviral drugs (ARVs). These drugs, although not a cure, have resulted in an enormous decrease in the number of people dying from AIDS-related illnesses in such countries as the USA and the UK. Also, many people who were seriously sick are now reasonably well, and some people have been able to return to work for the first time in many years.
a picture of HIV-positive mother with child in Guatemala City, Guatemala. The epidemic in Latin America and the Caribbean is in danger of spreading rapidly and widely in the absence of effective responses. Despite many constraints, however, the region is making admirable progress in the provision of treatment and care, with Brazil continuing to show the way. It is estimated that 210,000 people in the region were infected with HIV in 2002, and that a total of 1.9 million adults and children are living with HIV/AIDS. Also, more than 100,000 people in the region died from AIDS in 2002
a picture of a HIV-positive woman in South Africa. The South African Department of Health has estimated that in 2001, in the general South African population, 2.65 million women and 2.09 million men between the ages of 15 to 49 were living with HIV. These high prevalence rates show what a significant problem HIV/AIDS is in South Africa with enormous social economic and development implications. The rates also indicate the future burden of HIV associated disease and the difficulties faced by the health system in coping with the provision of adequate care and support.
