A highly educational conversation, and one that is not to be missed. We talked about the history associated with the virus, whose origin is attributed to the mutation of the SIV retroviral virus, which is found in primates. It is believed that HIV is most likely a virus that mutated in the 1950s and was a “sonosis” - which occurs when humans interact with nature. About the historic publication by the New England Journal of Medicine reporting the first two cases in parallel in San Francisco and New York, the three forms of transmission: sexual, by blood transfusion, including blood-to-blood contact, vertical transmission from mother to child, the importance of the viral load for contagion to occur, the relevance of the asymptomatic nature of the virus and consequently the window of almost ten years - average time for it to become Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome - to spread the virus, how it went from being a 100% fatal disease to a chronic disease, with up to three treatments that were synthesized in a pill. With that pill, viral replication collapses. The earlier the treatment is started, the more humanity is preserved. Dr. Edward Jones is an infectious disease specialist, internist and HIV and AIDS specialist at the Keck Center for Medicine at USC, and was co-creator of the AstraZeneca vaccine against COVID-19.
