Ни одна мировая война не уносила столько жизней. Откуда взялся ВИЧ и почему до сих пор нет вакцины

Epidemic. HIV and AIDS "The perfect killer"—that's what scientists have called it. Who first discovered the virus of this 20th-century "plague"? Why can't we invent an AIDS vaccine? And can it be cured? Host: physician and medical journalist Evgeny Paperny. Background: HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is an infectious chronic disease transmitted by contact, slowly progressing and characterized by damage to the immune system with the development of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). AIDS is the final stage of HIV infection, when a weakened immune system leaves a person defenseless against all infections and some types of cancer. #medicine #educational #history #aids #hiv #health #film
