Resumen
El síndrome de inmunodeficiencia adquirida (SIDA), causado por el virus de inmunodeficiencia humana tipo 1 (VIH-1), surgió en 1981 y se ha convertido en una devastadora epidemia mundial. La infección por el VIH-1 ha cobrado trágicamente 25 millones de vidas, de las cuales 33 millones viven actualmente con el virus.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Virología Virología.
- Epidemiología La epidemiología.
- Salud Pública La salud pública.
Sus antecedentes:
- La aparición del Síndrome de Inmunodeficiencia Adquirida (SIDA) en 1981 presentó un profundo misterio para las comunidades médica y científica.
- Inicialmente una condición enigmática, el SIDA se convirtió rápidamente en una crisis de salud mundial de escala sin precedentes.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Proporcionar una visión general histórica de la aparición y el impacto del Síndrome de Inmunodeficiencia Adquirida (SIDA).
- Para resaltar la carga global significativa de la infección por el virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana tipo 1 (VIH-1).
Principales métodos:
- Análisis retrospectivo de la aparición y propagación del SIDA.
- Resumen estadístico de las tasas actuales de infección y mortalidad por VIH-1.
Principales resultados:
- El SIDA, causado por el VIH-1, apareció en 1981 y inicialmente fue mal entendido.
- La enfermedad ha resultado en un estimado de 25 millones de muertes hasta la fecha.
- Actualmente, 33 millones de personas viven con la infección por el VIH-1 en todo el mundo.
Conclusiones:

01:26Sexually Transmitted Infections
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are diseases transmitted primarily through unsafe sexual interactions. Bacteria, viruses, or parasites cause them and can result in severe health complications if untreated.ChlamydiaThe bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis is responsible for the disease Chlamydia, the most common STI in the United States. This peculiar pathogen requires human cells to reproduce, residing intracellularly. The initial infection often goes unnoticed because it typically does not...
01:10Retrovirus Life Cycles
Retroviruses have a single-stranded RNA genome that undergoes a special form of replication. Once the retrovirus has entered the host cell, an enzyme called reverse transcriptase synthesizes double-stranded DNA from the retroviral RNA genome. This DNA copy of the genome is then integrated into the host’s genome inside the nucleus via an enzyme called integrase. Consequently, the retroviral genome is transcribed into RNA whenever the host’s genome is transcribed, allowing the retrovirus to...
01:28Viral Hepatitis I: Introduction
Viral hepatitis is an inflammatory condition of the liver caused by infection with hepatotropic viruses, most commonly hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E. Despite variations in structure and transmission, all viruses mentioned infect hepatocytes and provoke immune responses that can hinder liver function. Additionally, some non-hepatotropic viruses can also lead to hepatic inflammation.Hepatitis A VirusHepatitis A virus (HAV) is transmitted through the fecal–oral route, typically by ingestion of food...
01:23Genital Herpes
Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted infection primarily caused by herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2), though herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is increasingly implicated in genital infections, particularly among younger populations. Transmission occurs mainly through sexual contact, with asymptomatic viral shedding serving as a major route of spread. This characteristic makes HSV-2 difficult to control at a population level, as individuals may unknowingly transmit the virus even in the...
01:28Herpes
Herpes simplex type 1 (HSV‑1) is a widespread pathogen responsible for orolabial lesions. It is an enveloped, double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) virus belonging to the family Herpesviridae. Once the virus infects a host cell, its double‑stranded DNA genome is delivered into the nucleus, where a coordinated cascade of immediate‑early, early, and late gene expression directs viral DNA replication, structural protein synthesis, and virion assembly. After primary infection of epithelial cells, HSV-1...
02:33Retroviruses
Retroviruses and retrotransposons both insert copies of their genetic elements into the genome of the host cell. Thus, the viral genes are passed on when the host genome is replicated or translated. A typical retroviral DNA sequence contains 3-4 genes that encode the different proteins required for its structural assembly and function as a molecular parasite. This DNA is transcribed into a single mRNA, which is very similar in structure to conventional mRNAs, i.e., it is capped at the 5’...
