Computer artwork depicting an Earth AIDS time bomb

AIDS time bomb. Computer artwork of the Earth as a lit bomb representing a possible epidemic caused by the AIDS viruses covering its surface. AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) is a disease caused by HIV (human immunodeficiency virus). The viruses have a glycoprotein outer layer (white line) and a protein coat (pink) containing their genetic material. HIV is spread by infected bodily fluids coming into contact with the blood, usually through sexual intercourse. AIDS is common in certain parts of Africa and Asia. It destroys white blood cells, weakening the immune system and causing death by opportunistic infection

EDITORS COMMENTS
This computer artwork serves as a powerful visual representation of the potential catastrophe posed by the AIDS virus. Depicting Earth as a lit bomb, covered with AIDS viruses, it highlights the urgency and gravity of this global epidemic. AIDS, or acquired immune deficiency syndrome, is caused by HIV (human immunodeficiency virus), which is cleverly portrayed here with its glycoprotein outer layer and protein coat containing genetic material. The white line symbolizes their outer layer while the pink represents their protein coat. The spread of HIV primarily occurs through infected bodily fluids coming into contact with blood, often during sexual intercourse. This devastating disease has particularly ravaged certain regions in Africa and Asia where it remains alarmingly prevalent. By destroying white blood cells and weakening the immune system, AIDS leaves individuals vulnerable to opportunistic infections that can ultimately lead to death. It's a grim reality that demands immediate attention from medical professionals worldwide. Through this thought-provoking artwork created by Science Photo Library, we are reminded of the critical importance of healthcare initiatives aimed at preventing further transmission and providing proper treatment for those affected by this relentless time bomb ticking within our society.
