• HIV 🦠

HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that attacks the body’s immune system, specifically CD4+ T cells, weakening the body’s ability to fight infections and diseases. Without treatment, it can progress to AIDS. Modern therapies, however, allow people with HIV to live long, healthy lives and reduce transmission.

• Dengue 🦟

• Lung Cancer 🫁

Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral infection caused by the dengue virus (DENV), transmitted primarily by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. It leads to high fever, severe headache, muscle and joint pain, and in some cases, severe dengue, which can be life-threatening. With no specific antiviral treatment available, prevention and vector control remain the most effective strategies.

Lung Cancer is one of the most common and deadly cancers worldwide, primarily caused by uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the lungs. It is strongly linked to smoking, but can also occur in non-smokers due to genetic and environmental factors. Symptoms include persistent cough, chest pain, and difficulty breathing. Early detection and advanced treatments such as targeted therapies and immunotherapy are crucial for improving survival rates.
