SML AIDS = non-profit HIV/AIDS information portal

I created a site called SML AIDS (SMLAIDS.org) last Sunday using Google Apps to feed news and resources that I found related to HIV/AIDS on the Internet, in hopes to bring awareness to the significance of the issue, and provide as a source for news, research, studies for those who are concerned with this disease.

Earlier this year, through my various studies on network theory, I discovered many discoveries relating to AIDS and HIV that may not be immediately apparent.

Although I am negative, many of my friends are positive. While I am technically savvy and have the know-how to fetch information easily, many of my friends may not be. And I wish to do the do the best I can to give back to the community who has always been there to provide me with support when I needed them most.

I hope that people will find these resources to be helpful.

If you have any suggestion and feedback, please do not hesitate to contact me at seeminglee+smlaids@gmail.com.

For whatever reason, this photo reached 10,000 views on my Flickr stream. Considering that my Flickr photostream only has 100,000+ page views, NakedGuyNYC appears to be quite an attractor for photo traffic generation!

Pattern Recognition = Key to Fight (HIV + Spam)

Using Spam Blockers To Target HIV, Too / Info Tech / 2007-10-01 / Business Week
Source: Business Week: 2007-10-01: print edition. pp.68, 70

David Heckerman (Google), a physician as well as a PhD in computer science at Microsoft Research, was doing research on better spam-blocking when he noted that those same technology can be applied to blocking HIV, the virus that leads to AIDS.

From Heckerman's perspective, HIV is like a cagey spammer. After attacking a cell, it injects its own genetic material and proceeds (much like a spam jockey who has commandeered as an unprotected computer) to manufacture thousands of copies of the virus.
The trouble? Complexity and mutations. HIV-infected cells often wear mutated nameplates that immune systems haven't learned to read. In this sense, vaccines have been like faulty spam filters, the ones that block e-mails promoting "Viagra" while letter ads for "V1agra" scoot through.
But Heckerman is upbeat. He argues that by revving up the computing power and blending thousands of new variable, researchers are making progress. One key, he says, is to map the patterns of mutation and incorporate them into medicine. These mutations, he says, appear to vary according to a person's immune system. If researchers can find the patterns, they'll be closer to making effective vaccines. Yet if they conclude that the mutations are utterly random, then "we're in big trouble," says Heckerman.
