Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome

As per available reports about 137 journals, 5 Conferences, workshops are presently dedicated exclusively to acquired immune deficiency syndrome and about 215 articles are being published on the current trends in acquired immune deficiency syndrome. In terms of research annually, USA, India, Japan, Brazil and Canada are some of the leading countries where maximum studies related to acquired immune deficiency syndrome are being carried out. As reported in the above mentioned 215 articles, Human immunodeficiency virus infection / acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) is a disease of the human immune system caused by infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).The term HIV/AIDS represents the entire range of disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus from early infection to late stage symptoms. During the initial infection, a person may experience a brief period of influenza-like illness. This is typically followed by a prolonged period without symptoms. As the illness progresses, it interferes more and more with the immune system, making the person much more likely to get infections, including opportunistic infections and tumors that do not usually affect people who have working immune systems.

HIV is transmitted primarily via unprotected sexual intercourse (including anal and oral sex), contaminated blood transfusions, hypodermic needles, and from mother to child during pregnancy, delivery, or breastfeeding. Some bodily fluids, such as saliva and tears, do not transmit HIV. Prevention of HIV infection, primarily through safe sex and needle-exchange programs, is a key strategy to control the spread of the disease. There is no cure or vaccine; however, antiretroviral treatment can slow the course of the disease and may lead to a near-normal life expectancy. While antiretroviral treatment reduces the risk of death and complications from the disease, these medications are expensive and have side effects. Without treatment, the average survival time after infection with HIV is estimated to be 9 to 11 years, depending on the HIV subtype.

Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a disease caused due to HIV virus that affects the human immune system. AIDS is the sixth leading cause of death among young adults. Clinical research is a branch of medical science that determines the safety and effectiveness of medications, devices, diagnostic products and treatment regimens intended for human use.

The Journal of AIDS & Clinical Research (JAR) is an Open Access Scientific Journal that aims to keep scientists, clinicians, researchers, students, and general public aware of AIDS-related information with a strong focus on basic, clinical and translational science as well as on epidemiology and disease prevention. The journal brings current research from clinical trials and epidemiological reports from around the world. Co-edited by recognized leaders in clinical virology, molecular biology and epidemiology, JAR publishes essential information on advances in the diagnosis and treatment of HIV infections as well as on the development of therapeutics and experimental vaccines. The journal provides a clinically oriented forum for Investigating and treating all sexually transmissible infections, with a special emphasis on HIV.

OMICS International organizes 1000+ conferences every year across USA, Europe & Asia with support from 1000 more scientific societies and publishes 700+ open access journals which contains over 50000 eminent personalities, reputed scientists as editorial board members.
