UNAIDS has said that HIV/AIDS in Indonesia is one of Asia's fastest growing epidemics. [1] In 2010, it is expected that 5 million Indonesians will have HIV/AIDS. [2] In 2007, Indonesia was ranked 99th in the world by prevalence rate, but because of low understanding of the symptoms of the disease and high social stigma attached to it, only 5-10% of HIV/AIDS sufferers actually get diagnosed and ...
These studies found that >95% of CD4 T cells die because of abortive HIV infection. [9] These dying cells are resting and thus are nonpermissive for productive HIV infection. Full viral replication was limited to the ~5% of activated CD4 T cells present in these tissues; these cells die by apoptosis. [10]
The management of HIV/AIDS typically involves the use of multiple antiretroviral drugs. In many parts of the world, HIV has become a chronic condition, with progression to AIDS increasingly rare. HIV latency and the resulting viral reservoir in CD4 + T cells, dendritic cells, and macrophages is the main barrier to eradication of the virus. [19 ...

This additional expenditure also leaves less income to spend on education and other personal or family investment.

The first case of HIV/AIDS in Indonesia was found in Bali in 1987. [6] In the same year, the United Nations General Assembly agreed on the urgency of a global strategy to combat AIDS. [ 7 ] The Indonesian government then created a special committee for the management of AIDS and conducted an assessment of HIV positive population through several ...
The pathophysiology of HIV/AIDS involves, upon acquisition of the virus, that the virus replicates inside and kills T helper cells, which are required for almost all adaptive immune responses. There is an initial period of influenza-like illness , and then a latent, asymptomatic phase.
The declaration was drafted in response to HIV/AIDS denialism, and particularly to address South African president Thabo Mbeki's support for AIDS denialists. [2] It was written several weeks before the 2000 International AIDS Conference , held in Durban, South Africa from July 9 to 14, 2000, and was published in the journal Nature to coincide ...
