In 1997, it was estimated that 30 million adults were infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) worldwide, with increments of five people infected every minute. It is estimated that approximately 7% of the population of sub-Saharan Africa has been infected. The incubation of the disease is 7 to 8 years. Currently available drugs for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and HIV are zidovudine, didanosine, lamivudine, and stavudine. The causative agent for AIDS is generally an HIV virus, which is transmitted by sexual contact, blood and blood products, the use of contaminated drug needles, and from mother to fetus. 

The only contraindication to tetanus toxoid is a history of a severe allergic or neurological reaction after a previous dose. AIDS and HIV infections are not contraindications. Data on the immune response to tetanus in children with AIDS showed defective responses (18).

A highly practical ligand-free copper-catalyzed systan for the intra-molecu-lar direct C—H arylation of electron-rich azaheterocycles has been reported by Dominquez et al. " Complex hetero-fused compounds were synthesized under mild conditions, which did not have to be anhydrous, thus simplifying the protocol. A highlight was the tolerance of the reaction conditions to additional halogens this, therefore, allows for further synthetic transformations. These are summarized in Table 7.4. The authors cite entries 3 and 4 to be the first direct copper-catalyzed C—H functionalizations of both 9//-purine and 4-azabenzimidazoles. These compounds are eminently important for their cardiovascular properties and use in the treatment of viral diseases such as AIDS and HIV.
