HIV/AIDS:
39.5 million people have HIV
Random thoughts on AIDS and HIVPosted on November 22, 2006 2:54 PM • 2 Comments •
Using HIV to prove some points about evolution, part IV
Did HIV become resistant to Atazanavir because of a genetic change? Was that genetic change inherited? Did HIV evolve? Can we explain why genetic changes at specific sites might help HIV escape the effects of the drug? Let's find out....Posted on August 23, 2006 10:06 AM • 0 Comments •
Using HIV to prove some points about evolution, part III
In which we see the results and come to our own conclusions. If you want to let other people tell you what's right and what's wrong, they will surely do so. Turn on the TV and hordes of happy actors bounce around, only too happy to help you purchase the right deodorant. Open your e-mail and everyone wants to share...Posted on August 21, 2006 10:00 AM • 0 Comments •

Using HIV to prove some points about evolution, part I.
When can a really bad virus be used to do something good? When we can use it to learn. The human immunodeficiency virus, cause of AIDS, scourge of countries, and recent focus of ScienceBlogs; like humans, evolves. As one of my fellow ScienceBloggers noted, few biological systems demonstrate evolution as clearly as HIV. In this series, I'm going to guide...Posted on August 17, 2006 11:59 AM • 2 Comments •
No, I don't worry about AIDS anymore
But that hasn't always been true. When I was in college, I had part-time jobs drawing blood from patients in the university hospital and as a phlebotomist at local plasma center. Plus, I was a volunteer EMT on an ambulance crew. Needless to say, I saw plenty of blood. And those were the days when no one wore gloves. We...Posted on August 14, 2006 4:40 PM • 4 Comments •
