    Abstract Science responded to the challenge of AIDS by rapidly identifying aetiology, describing pathogenesis and transmission routes, and developing diagnostic tests and treatment. However, this did not prevent the global spread of HIV, with 25 million fatal cases so far, another 33 million infected, and disastrous socioeconomic and demographic consequences. In spite of unprecedented political attention and financial resources, the response is falling further behind the growth of the epidemic. This is partly due to the unique characteristics of the virus, such as persistent infection, vertical transmission and a variability that allows it to escape immunity and antiretroviral drugs, and partly due to human characteristics such as a strong procreative instinct, drug use and ostracism. Denial, myths and complacency are major obstacles to rational measures. With no cure or vaccine in sight, scaling up prevention is of paramount importance. To meet the goal of universal access to prevention, treatment and care by 2010 would require a quadrupling of funding to an estimated US$42 billion by 2010, including adequate overall strengthening of healthcare systems, but in any case, the world will have to learn to live with HIV for the foreseeable future.

    Abstract Perceived health and physical fitness have been shown to correlate, and low levels of either variable increase the risk for future illness and mortality. However, risk factors and their interrelationship may vary between societies and over time. In this study, the associations of physical fitness and perceived health were therefore assessed in two Swedish national samples 25 years apart. Perceived physical health, dichotomized as "good" or "bad," maximal oxygen uptake (VO
    Conclusion: Perceived physical health was related to physical fitness in two samples of Swedish adults from 1990 and 2015. However, multivariate and mutually adjusted models indicate that the most important covariates of perceived physical health may have changed from VO

    Abstract By the year 2000 a cumulative global total of 30-40 million men, women and children are projected to have been infected with HIV. This will represent a three to four times increase of the present total. Currently, it is estimated that about 5000 persons are newly infected daily. Worldwide, the predominant and increasing mode of transmission is by heterosexual intercourse. Therefore, the number of infected women will equal that of men. Consequently, more infants will be infected by their mothers and more infants will be orphaned as their parents die of AIDS. By the end of the 1990s, over one million adult AIDS cases and deaths per year are expected, most of them in developing countries. Although the majority of HIV infections are currently occurring in sub-Saharan Africa, the annual number of HIV infections in Asia is projected to exceed that in Africa during the 1990s. Also, in industrialized countries, the proportion of heterosexual transmission is increasing, and AIDS is becoming one of the predominant causes of death in young men and women. In spite of promising scientific progress, vaccines and therapeutic drugs are not expected to have any major impact on the global development of the pandemic during the 1990s. WHO is promoting behavioural changes, condom use and control of other sexually transmitted diseases as the most important preventive measures.
