Despite scientific progress, unequal access to HIV/AIDS treatment has been difficult to solve, along with another obstacle that is less scientific and more social: the stigma that accompanies new diseases. As cases emerged, people with HIV/AIDS were often alienated, overlooked, and even loathed by the public. Discussions around sexual orientation, promiscuity, and individual behavior often centered the blame on the gay community and later, drug users, as these groups made up a large proportion of cases in the 1980s and 1990s. This negative connotation still prevents some people from seeking treatment.

“Stigma is the enemy of public health,” says Fauci. “There is no place [for] the stigma when you’re dealing with a disease, because it’s the disease [that] is the problem, not the people who are afflicted.” He and the National Institute of Health were even the direct targets of protests by AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power in 1990. The organization formally called for Fauci to include their members in the development of HIV drugs.

On June 5, 1981, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a report on a rare pneumonia and lung infection. One month later, a story in The New York Times with the headline “RARE CANCER SEEN IN 41 HOMOSEXUALS” detailed an illness striking gay men in New York and California.

Three years later, this “rare cancer” was officially diagnosed as Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, a disease caused by a retrovirus that interferes with the body’s ability to fight off infections and disease. Panic was felt the world over as scientists raced to understand how the new infection, better known as HIV/AIDS, was spread and who was most at risk.

That same year, Anthony Fauci, a doctor and head of the Laboratory of Immunoregulation, was appointed as National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) director.

“In 1984, the virus was discovered, which set off a series of extraordinary research to determine the pathogenic mechanisms of HIV. But importantly, it allowed us to do the critical research to start developing effective drugs for HIV,” Fauci tells PopSci in a recent interview.

By the end of the 1980s, almost 700,000 people of all sexes and sexualities were estimated to be living with HIV. While knowledge on the virus and the disease has steadily progressed over the past 40 years, the fight against the epidemic continues globally.

According to World AIDS Day, an international awareness event celebrated annually on December 1, an estimated 38 million people now live with the virus worldwide. More than 35 million people have died of HIV/AIDS related illnesses since it was identified.

But Fauci, who has studied HIV/AIDS since the first cases emerged, finds hope in the treatments and advances over the last four decades that help patients to live longer lives. In 2003, he played an important role in developing the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), marking a pivotal point in government funding towards the global epidemic and a program he is proud to have been part of.

“That program has now been shown to be responsible for saving literally 20 million lives worldwide,” Fauci says.

Омлет с беконом, пармезаном и зеленью

🗓 ИНГРИДИЕНТЫ:

⭐️ Куриное яйцо — 4 штуки
⭐️ Молоко — 150 мл
⭐️ Бекон — 50 г
⭐️ Репчатый лук — 1 головка
⭐️ Чеснок — 1 зубчик
⭐️ Тертый сыр пармезан — 1 столовая ложка
⭐️ Сушеный базилик — щепотка
⭐️ Соль — по вкусу
⭐️ Молотый черный перец — по вкусу
⭐️ Зелень — 1 пучок
⭐️ Сливочное масло — по вкусу
⭐️ Растительное масло — по вкусу

1. Среднюю головку лука нарезать тонкими полукольцами. Бекон нарезать тонкими ломтиками (можно конечно нарезать его и кубиками и соломкой, но тонкие ломтики вкуснее всего).
2. Яйца смешать с молоком и взбить. В эту смесь добавить мелко нарезанный чеснок, сушеный базилик, соль перец по вкусу.
3. Потереть пармезан, нашинковать зелень.
4. На теплой сковороде растопить сливочное масло, долить растительного. Выложить лук, обжаривать полминуты. После добавить туда бекон. Обжаривать все вместе еще 3–4 минуты.
5. Влить яично-молочную смесь в сковороду, перемешать. Сразу же посыпать все тертым пармезаном и перемешать (таким образом пармезан успевает расплавиться и стать именно частью омлета).
6. Далее в течение 6–7 минут жарить на среднем огне (в эти 6–7 минут желательно не отходить от сковороды, так как яйца готовятся очень быстро. Так же желательно не перемешивать блюдо во время жарки — лучше его как бы тыкать там, где плохо прожаривается (таким образом омлет получается цельным и нежным, а так же со слегка поджаристой корочкой).
7. Выложить омлет на тарелку. Посыпать зеленью. Если получились остатки пармезана — их тоже можно посыпать сверху. Подавать можно со сметанно-томатным соусом, помидоркой и всем тем, что вам нравится или кажется уместным.
