Summary:Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a retrovirus that causes an infection affecting immunity-providing white blood cells. The HIV pandemic is far from over and is a major socio-economical burden. As there is no cure yet, prevention of new infections is the major path to control the infection.

It is important to have knowledge about the disease to effectively and safely treat known or unknown patients with HIV.
