Date Published: 2023-09-18

Abstract:
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a member of the Retroviridae, a part of the Lentivirus family, based on its physical, biological, and genetic traits that cause HIV infection and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)., In HIV infection, the pathological condition is started by attacking and destroying the host immune cells, such as T-helper, dendritic, and macrophage.– Acute HIV infection has a broad spectrum, ranging from hyperthermia to severe diseases. Thus, fever, fatigue, and myalgia are the most common symptoms of acute HIV infections. The major complication of HIV infection is its progression to AIDS if left untreated, which appears if the HIV-positive patient gets a low CD count and becomes prone to opportunistic infections., The most common ways to get HIV infection are through unprotected sexual contact and drug injection.– Also, blood transfusion can transmit HIV, but it has been eliminated in countries that apply the HIV screening system for donated blood.– Due to the availability of antiretroviral therapy (ART), which focuses on reducing the HIV viral load and maintaining the T-helper cells. Thus, normal life expectancy will be increased and progression to AIDS will be decreased by eliminating opportunistic infections.–
