well archer.. going deep into structure of virus.. its not simple..lol.. its very complex..

the virus belongs to reteroviridae..its a retero virus...

it basically contains capsid n a core material...

it is RNA virus...

core contains enzymes and proteins.. required for further transmission, growth and transfusion..


reverse transcriptase enzyme integrates virus RNA to a single strand of cell DNA of our body.. joins accordingly..(special receptor are present)

major capsid protein n outer envelope protien is for protection of virus..


Once the virus enters the blood.. it has special affinity to immune system which goes and binds the cells.. where it looses its capsid... and the core material penetrates the nucleus of the cell...


the reverse trascriptase enzyme starts integrating.. the virus RNA strand with DNA of the cell.. further everyone knows...........




early symptoms n full blown hiv/aids...


at last.... RAM NAAM SATYA HAI..!!!

Thats true doc... Its better if people consistently express their own views... but in certain situations like this topic... its all about facts... which only some1 with medical proficiency like urself can know better... so others search for it online and format it in their own style and share with us here... I don't find quoted text harder to read if the content is good...

And thats hell lotta information u have posted here describing structure of virus... All of it were bouncers for me... Except the last line

But whats the meaning of the read Ribbon.

the image... which is there... is a RED RIBBON... which ppl normaly put.. 1st DECEMBER is WORLD AIDS DAY..

ppl pin red ribbon on their coats.. for this day.. DEVA RE DEVA....

I found this when I was searching for Red Ribbon

• red like love, as a symbol of passion and tolerance towards those affected.
• red like blood, representing the pain caused by the many people that died of AIDS.
• red like the anger about the helplessness by which we are facing a disease for which there is still no chance for a cure.
• red as a sign of warning not to carelessly ignore one of the biggest problems of our time.

• But I can't think of a single meaning for it.

Press Council issues new guidelines for reporting HIV

The Press Council of India has issued a new set of media guidelines for reporting within India on people suffering from HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) and AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome), revising a set of guidelines compiled in 1993.

The guidelines, released on Sunday, are likely to be controversial as they impose a whole host of content behaviours, both in print and television, including words that can’t be used, as well as impose restrictions, such as the need for a signed prior-consent form on reporting about HIV-positive people.

“Being a syndrome or a collection of symptoms, AIDS cannot itself be transmitted, nor is there an AIDS virus or AIDS carrier,” say the guidelines. They maintain that terms such as “prostitutes” and “gays” used while referring to high risk groups should be replaced with “sex workers” and “men having sex with men”, respectively.

The guidelines maintain that HIV cannot be termed a “scourge” and expressions such as “full-blown AIDS”, which are often used to denote the progression of the infection, are misleading and meaningless because there are no degrees of AIDS, as a person either has or does not have AIDS.

The new guidelines also mandate that before writing the story on any HIV-positive person, journalists will have obtain a consent form duly signed by the person.

As for images—in print or on television—the guidelines say the identity of the individual shouldn’t be disclosed. It has recommended that television cameras should be kept behind the person so that only a silhouette can be seen. Ideally, the camera should focus on the person’s feet, hands or back of head and not the face, the council says.

The guidelines prohibit the use of a hidden camera while shooting a person with HIV or AIDS. It also says that the address of the person and the location of the interview shouldn’t be disclosed, recommending that the images should preferably be organized at a neutral place.

The guidelines also say that “deeply” personal and accusatory questions are to be avoided. In case of infected persons, reporters are to steer clear of moralizing or even dwelling needlessly on how the person was infected. Alarming reports and images of the sick and dying are to be avoided and showing skulls, snakes and crossbones as accompanying graphics is banned.

AIDS and the Media – DO’S and DON’TS

DO’S

• Media must inform and educate the people, not alarm or scare them.
• Be objective, factual and sensitive.
• Keep abreast with changing realities of fast-evolving infection.
• Use appropriate language and terminology that is non-stigmatising.
• Ensure headlines are accurate and balanced.
• Be responsible; give all sides of the picture, using voices of people living with HIV and AIDS (PLHIVs).
• Dispel misconceptions about prevention and transmission.
• Debunk myths about miracle cures and unscientific claims of protection from
• infection.
• Highlight positive stories without underplaying seriousness of the issue.
• Uphold confidentiality of infected people, their families and associates.
• Ensure photographs do not breach their confidentiality.
• Ensure photo captions are accurate.
• Ensure gender sensitive reporting and avoid stereotyping.
• Obtain data from authorised sources as inaccurate reports have adverse impact on.
• morale and increase stigma.
• Journalists are responsible for ensuring interviewees understand repercussions of revelations/identification.
• Ensure informed consent, in written form wherever possible.
• Balance coverage of a negative story like HIV-related suicide or incidence of
• discrimination by including contacts of helplines/counselling centres.
• Broaden reportage to examine impact of infection on economic, business,
• political and development issues.
• When in doubt contact the local network of positive people or state aids control society or existing terminology guidelines for clarification.
• Ensure questions are not deeply personal or accusatory.
• Show PLHIVs in a positive light by portraying them as individuals instead of
• ‘victims’.

DON’TS

• Don’t sensationalise the story.
• Don’t make value judgements that seek to blame PLHIVs.
• Don’t use terms like ‘scourge’ to describe the infection or describe PLHIVs as
• AIDS carrier, prostitute, drug addict, AIDS patient/victim/sufferer.
• Don’t focus needlessly on how a PLHIV was infected.
• Don’t identify children infected and affected by HIV and AIDS by name or
• through a photograph even with consent.
• Don’t use hidden cameras.
• Avoid alarmist reports and images of the sick and dying that convey a sense of gloom, helplessness and isolation.
• Don’t use skull, crossbones, snakes or such visuals as graphics.
• Avoid references to caste, gender or sexual orientation.
• Don’t reinforce stereotypes about sexual minorites including those who are
• lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT).
• Don’t portray infected persons as victims, culprits or objects of pity.
• Don’t promote misleading advertisements related to HIV, STIs, skin diseases,
• tuberculosis and other opportunistic infections.
• Don’t breach the confidentiality of those opting for voluntary testing.
