AIDS-disease of the 21st century.

December 1, 2023 at the Department of Physiology, Morphology and Biochemistry named after Academician N.U. Bazanova students and faculty held an educational hour on education of a healthy lifestyle on the topic: AIDS.

Currently, one of the infectious diseases is the AIDS virus. AIDS was first detected on June 5, 1981 in five people in the United States. They were observed among people with pneumonia and opportunistic infections caused by Pneumocystis carinii who had been injected with intravenous drugs.

It was renamed AIDS at the July 1982 meeting. In 1983, American virologist Robert Gallo and two groups of researchers led by French researchers Françoise Barré-Sinoussi and Luc Montagnier made the announcement that independently, AIDS could be caused by a new type of retrovirus.

In the early days, AIDS was not the official name of the disease, but was only called by the name of the disease that develops in this case, for example: lymphadenopathy, Kaposi's sarcoma and opportunistic infection. The original scientists who discovered HIV also named the virus as the virus that causes lymphadenopathy.

During the sessions, the presenters asked questions of the students and discussed various information.
