In the foundational piece in this issue of the journal, “Integrating Law and Social Epidemiology,” Burris, Kawachi, and Sarat present a model for understanding the relationship between law and health. This article uses the case of a specific health condition, the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, as an opportunity to flesh out this schema and to test how the model “fits” the world of the HIV pandemic. In applying the model to this communicable disease, we hope to illustrate the multitude of ways that laws affect the course of the pandemic as well as the course of an individual’s vulnerability or resilience to the disease, and how the complexities of an individual’s life dealing with the virus interface with the world of laws and legal institutions.

HIV infection is a disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus, characterized by acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, which contributes to the occurrence of secondary infections and malignant tumors due to deep inhibition of the body's protective properties. Today, the world is experiencing a pandemic of HIV infection, the incidence of the world's population, especially in Eastern Europe, is growing steadily.

The occurrence of germ cell tumors in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection has not been previously reported. However, with the HIV pandemic in certain parts of the world, this association has become a reality. The approach to management as well as the role of adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy is problematic as many of these therapies are toxic. The appropriate management of such tumors will remain elusive for sometime. The presentation, management, and outcome of ovarian endodermal sinus tumor in a HIV-infected patient is reported.

Tuberculosis (TB) is becoming an ever more serious worldwide problem. This contagious disease kills four people every minute somewhere in the world and accounts for more than 2 million deaths per year. Due to the rapid spread of TB strains resistant to all the major anti-TB drugs on the market, and the association of TB with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in AIDS, we urgently need to develop new drugs to fight against TB. In this context, due to the importance of nature in the development of new drugs, the aim of the present review is to highlight a series of new and promising anti-TB agents derived from plants and fungi discovered between 2001 and 2005.

Immunodeficiency Syndrome

Today, when the whole world is overwhelmed by the coronavirus pandemic, few people remember that it was AIDS that was called the plague of the twentieth century. The manifestations of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome are the terminal stage of infection of the body with the human immunodeficiency virus, which belongs to retroviruses and leads to the development of secondary immunodeficiency. The first case of HIV infection in adults was described in 1981 in America. A young homosexual came to one of the hospitals in the city of San Francisco with a persistent fungal infection. Some time after the treatment, the young man developed pneumonia, from the complications of which he soon died. The human immunodeficiency virus got its name only in 1982, and the disease caused by it began to be called the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. At present, there are more than 40 million infected people in the world, 2/3 of whom live in Africa; in total, since the beginning of the epidemic, almost 100 million people have been infected with HIV, and the number of victims has doubled the number of people who died in the First World War. Despite the fact that this infection is not airborne or transmitted by contact, the growth rate of this disease continues to shock. Thus, about 5 thousand people get infected with HIV every day in the world; annually about 1 million die from complications of this disease. It should be noted that only 71% of those infected are aware of their status, all the rest continue to serve as a potential source of the spread of this terrible infection.

The Relationship

BACKGROUND: The relationship between human immunodeficiency virus infection and stroke may be attributed in some cases to an underlying vasculopathy such as in spontaneous cervical arteries dissections. CASE REPORT: We report the case of an HIV-infected patient who developed a Wallemberg's syndrome due to a vertebral artery dissection. Screening laboratory exams showed hyperhomocysteinemia and also high C-reactive protein plasma levels. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first case describing the association between arterial dissection (AD) and HIV-infection. We suggest that AD should also be remembered as a possible mechanism of ischemic stroke in HIV-infected patients.

The Relationship

The cases of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection are increasing every year. This case is a disease that is very rapidly transmitted throughout the world. HIV increases the risk of developing tuberculosis (TB) and conversely TB infection increases HIV progression. In 2017, it is estimated that 10 million people have HIV TB. Combination of antiretrovirals is the basis for the management of antiretroviral therapy for HIV / AIDS patients, because it can reduce resistance, suppress HIV replication effectively so that transmission, opportunistic infections and other complications. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between antiretroviral combinations and CD4 levels in outpatient HIV TB patients at RSUD H. Abdul Manap Jambi. This study is a retrospective cohort study using medical records of outpatient HIV TB patients at RSUD H. Abdul Manap Jambi based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Based on research conducted on outpatient HIV TB patients at Abdul Manap Hospital, Jambi, it was found that there was no relationship between antiretroviral combinations and CD4 levels in HIV TB patients, marked by Asimp.Sig 0.778> 0.05.
