In 1981 in the United States of America was first registered AIDS or AIDS, which is caused by the virus deficiency immune human (HIV). This was followed by an emergency meeting of health officials from countries around the world, where agreement was reached on the exchange of information about HIV/AIDS and the observance of social tolerance.

Part of scientists blames the emergence of HIV, the monkey that was infected by this terrible virus man back in the 20-ies of the last century. As a result of recent scientific research, it was found that the source of the epidemic was in West Africa. In 1959 the world's AIDS killed the first man. Anyway it was recorded for the first time. A carrier of the virus was a resident of the Congo. Ten years in the United States of America women of easy virtue were symptomatic. world day against AIDS on December 1At that time, scientists did not attach any importance to this, believing that prostitutes are sick with pneumonia. After another nine years, in 1978, there were foci of localization of the epidemic around the world – in the US, Tanzania, Haiti, and Sweden.

And after three years of specialized center involved in the control and prevention of disease, has been given the official recognition of the existence of HIV and AIDS. While the lion's share of patients were homosexuals. At the time America was discovered 440 carriers of the virus, provoking a lack of immunity. Half of these people died.

Origin of the disease: open medical

The Scientist Michael Gottlieb came to the conclusion that the cause of the disease is a severe defeat of the system of internal human organs that are responsible for immunity. In 1982, AIDS became known as a disease of four English letters, “N” on the assumption that most of the immunodeficiency virus was affected gay men, Haitians and drug addicts, stitching heroin, and patients with hemophilia.

It is Noteworthy that the presence of reduced immunity previously recorded in children born prematurely. But studies of physicians have shown that AIDS patients suffered from the acquired immunodeficiency virus, but not innate.

The Viral origin of the disease was open to scientists from France — Montagnier. In 1983 in the lymph nodes suffering from AIDS of the man they had found a virus which was called LAV.

A year later, Robert Gallo, who heads the Institute of Virology of University of Maryland, made a statement in which it was reported that found the real cause of disease. His study was the isolation of the virus from the blood of the patient. Isolated the retrovirus was named HTLV-III and were the same as in LAV.

In 1985, scientists came to the conclusion that the immunodeficiency virus is transmitted to humans via blood, breast milk and sexual transmission. With the developed test donated blood for the first time began to check for the presence of immunodeficiency virus.

Another discovery shocked the world in 1986. Along with his colleagues, Montagnier has discovered a new virus that was discovered in Guinea-Bissau and the Cape Verde Islands. Comparative analysis showed that both virus — completely different from other infections caused by different pathogens, with different course of the disease and symptoms. It was proved that both viruses exist for a long time, particularly prior to the spread of the AIDS pandemic.
