AIDS and the pharmaceutical industry

The virus is present in livestock and all form fluids and is known to be spread through commute of fluids from an septic person to an separate person through sexual communion sharing of needles or even through embryonic fluid from a mother to an unborn foetus.It mostly attacks the immune system reducing the CD4 cells that are vital in the safe guarding the normal physiological function of the body making the body more prone to attack by other diseases for example tuberculosis. aid has affected a massive number of quite a little in the third world countries especially in Africa where presence of sophiscated laboratories for research was a mere dream.In the late 1980s ARVS were introduced and were thought to cure assist but they were too racy-priced to be afforded by umteen multitude especially in the developing nations where poverty levels are very high. AIDS spread at a very fast rate and in that location was need to curb this rate of new infections.The need to produce drugs strong against AIDS proved almost impossible because the virus according to scientist is utter to shift from one place to another along chromosome and therefore hard-fought to target them.Due to the increased prevalence of AIDS there was a birdcall for the pharmaceutical industries to respond fast and promptly to this life threatening disease. The reading of new drugs involves a lot of processes and technology making them relatively expensive to for instance those tribe struggling to make a living in developing nations.The high cost of brand drugs has take to development of generic wine drugs which are less costly and have the same constituents. Despite the high numbers of infections in developing nations, research and manufacture of new drugs whether branded or generic is in the industrialized nations mostly.For sure the pandemic has led to a lot of suffering especially to those who are diagnosed with AIDS imputable to stigmatization. The impact of AIDS to economies of developing nations is extensive leading to decrease in labor power. This is because of the fact that most individuals affected are young people leaving the work load to the elderly persons.ConclusionAIDS has infected only a small proportion of the world population but in many ways has affected each and every(prenominal) individual. It is therefore the responsibility of every body to help bring the suffering of the people and economies to a halt.The pharmaceutical companies to a fault have a responsibility in ensuring that drugs developed for prolonging lives of the infected people distributed fast and promptly to them. With the help of scientists and researchers the pharmaceutical industries are also faced with the challenge of developing new drugs capable of curing the disease.
