Pike (2007), however, points out that expanded HIV testing could result in an increase in diagnoses of HIV/AIDS by 90,000! The speed with which AIDS has spread from
one region to another is, in itself, a testament to the formidable cellular and molecular makeup of the HIV virus. Some say that AIDS cases have reached epidemic proportion.
One of the fortunate aspects of this trend is that AIDS research is intensifying. Consequently numerous methodologies are being put into place to try and counteract the ravages
of the disease on the human body. Each of these methodologies take into account the cellular and even the molecular structure of the HIV pathogen.
The first AIDS cases were documented in 1980 in New York and California among homosexual males and intravenous drug users. New cases soon were discovered in
many regions of the world. The disease was not limited to the U.S. but was found to be inflicting significant damage on large populations of many third world countries,
particularly third world countries in Africa and Haiti. Within one decade of its initial discovery, the number of AIDS cases had increased to the point it was considered by
many an epidemic. It had, in fact, spread to populations across the world. The HIV virus is spread from one individual to another through contact with bodily
fluids. This can occur through sexual contact, blood transfusions and other critical medical procedures, and even through contaminated needles used by intravenous drug users. HIV, a lentivirus subgroup
