Artwork of a man and woman with AIDS viruses
AIDS. Artwork of the outlines of a man and a woman and AIDS viruses. AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) is a disease caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). The viruses have a glycoprotein outer layer (white) which allows them to bind to white blood cells, and icosahedral protein coats (pink) which contain their genetic material. HIV is spread by infected bodily fluids coming into contact with the blood. This is usually by sexual intercourse, sharing hypodermic needles, or blood transfusions. AIDS destroys white blood cells, leading to a weakened immune system, and death by an opportunistic infection

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork print showcases the intricate connection between a man, a woman, and the AIDS virus. The outlines of the couple are beautifully intertwined with the detailed structure of these harmful viruses. AIDS, which stands for acquired immune deficiency syndrome, is caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). The white glycoprotein outer layer depicted in this artwork enables these viruses to bind to white blood cells, while their pink icosahedral protein coats contain their genetic material. The transmission of HIV occurs through infected bodily fluids coming into contact with the bloodstream. This primarily happens during sexual intercourse, sharing hypodermic needles, or receiving contaminated blood transfusions. Once inside the body, HIV attacks and destroys white blood cells leading to a weakened immune system and ultimately death due to opportunistic infections. This thought-provoking art piece serves as a powerful reminder of both the medical challenges posed by AIDS and its impact on individuals' lives. It highlights not only the scientific aspects but also emphasizes compassion towards those affected by this devastating disease. Through this visual representation created by Science Photo Library, we are encouraged to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS prevention strategies and support ongoing research efforts aimed at finding effective treatments for this global health issue.
