  7. Quick statistics • At the end of 2012, there were an estimated 98,400 people in the UK living with HIV. The majority were infected through sex (41,000 gay and bisexual men and 53,000 heterosexuals). • More than 1 in 5 people with HIV (over 20,000) do not know they are infected. • The World Health Organization estimates that around 34 million people in the world are living with HIV

  8. What does it do? • 1. Infection of the HIV virus- now inside your body. • 2. Reaches your blood stream, binds to T cells • 3. T Cell becomes a host, viral DNA incorporated into the cell nucleus

  9. How does this damage your immune system? • 4. This changes the T cell function- replicate more of the HIV virus • 5. This process leads to all of these copies to leave the T cell and ultimately kill the cell, damaging your immune system

  14. Medical Problems • How does the virus affect a person’s chance of getting other infections? • Symptoms of the virus? • Treatment and diagnosis? Is it easy?

  15. Economic Problems • Drugs • Cure? • Think about countries with medical care which isn’t advanced as the UK’s • What will happen to those people? • How will that then affect the economy?
