And The Band Played On


The movie and the band played on is an excellent movie it really tells you a lot about what people really tough about HIV and that they only blamed the gay people. But after some time they found out that all kind of people get this infection.and we know all of this now because of all the doctors that worked hard to find what this infection was. They are Dr. Robert Gallo, Dr. LucMontagnier, Dr. Dale Lawrence and the french doctors to. Some of the patients of this doctors were Bobbi Campbell, a Choreographer and there was a patient that they named zero the doctors said that it might of been him because he had many UN protected sex with different kind of bisexual partners. And when they got infected with this virus it all lead back to patient zero. One of the quotes that they used in the movie was, how many people have to die for you to do something about it! 100, 1000 tell use so that way we wont bother you until we reach that number. The reason i like this quote is because he is telling them how many people have to die in order for you to finally to do something about it and that how many more people are going to keep dieing in order for them to give money so that they can find that virus and to try and find a cure. And that is one of the reason's that this virus got so big, it was because no one wanted to pay money for the research. And because they wasted time with the whole Dr Gallo stole the virus picture from the French and the other reason was that doctors wanted to close down a bathhouse because that was were the virus was spreading more then any place else. And the gay people didn't want that to happen because they said that was the only place were they can truly be them self's. One of the things that they could of done different was that instead of wasting time in finding who found the picture virus they could of been looking for what type of virus it was. The other thing that they could of done was give the money a lot more sooner so that they could of been doing the research on what kind of virus that was and what kind of cure can help destroy this disease.

THE IMMUNE SYSTEM


The first line of immune system is the skin. It is also one of the biggest organism and it will help you protect against any virus or bacteria. The white blood cell is the defender of the body, there goal is to maintain homeostasis (to keep the body stable and good healthy) Lymphatic system =a system on highway that white blood cells travel. White blood cells attack germs. Germs are very tiny. The B cell searches for antigens. (the weapons).Antibody are shaped proteins they will attack anything that is bad for your body and that might cause you any health problems, They are unique. There's also a T helper cell and they are white blood cells that contact activate B cells and killer T cells. Well Killer T cells are the ones that attack good cells that have been infected. The difference between a T cell and a B cell is that the T cells are white blood cells that contact activate B cells and killer T cells , and the B cells search for weapons. The difference between a T cell and a Killer T cell is that the T cell contact and the killer T cells attack.

The macrophage is the big eater. micro is big and phage is eater. They eat anything marked with an antibody. The difference between a bacteria and a virus is that the bacteria can multiply and the virus needs hosts in order to reproduce.

Introduction


In the early 1980 people thought that HIV/aids was caused by homosexuals . But the reality is that not only homosexuals are infected with aids, even little kids have aids. People that make the laws told the homosexuals that they were not aloud to donate blood. It wasnt fair for them because they were not the only once infected. Aids have affected people our age because we dont want to die sos soon. We are to young to die. Aids started because of unprotected sexual contact. This is dedicated to all the people that were mistreated, and hopefully this blog well help people in the future for they could have protective sex.
