Hello,
I am a high school student from Switzerland. I am passing a practical training
in biology as a part of the curriculum during my last year at the school. I am
currently writing a term paper about HIV and AIDS, which is part of that
practical training. As for my studies I need to get some information on
current research regarding HIV and AIDS.
I would appreciate it if someone responded to some or all of the following
questions:
Question #1: What methods of medical treatment do exist? (e.g. prophylactic
measures, treatment using different drugs at the same time)
Question #2: How efficient are common drugs and ways of treatment?
Question #3: Can you name some drugs and give a short description of their
purpose (e.g. inhibition of reverse transcriptase)?
Question #4: Can you name some diseases that may occur in connection to
an infection by the HIV? What is the reason of their occurrence?
Question #5: How high would you estimate the chance of survival of a patient,
relating to his age, sex and the duration of the infection by HIV?
Question #6: How does one prove HIV infection?
Question #7: What is the procedure of doing research on new vaccines and
drugs against HIV?
Question #8: What are your future prospects regarding research and treatment
of HIV and AIDS?
Question #9 (optional): Can you give your name and a short summary of your
work? (For the purpose of reference)
Please post your responses online or send them via email to:

Best regards,
Robert Tschiemer
