INTRODUCTION
HIV- Human Immunodeficiency virus
AIDS- Acquired Immune Deficiency
Syndrome
Two types of HIV known
1. HIV 1- dominate world wide
2. HIV 2- commonly in west Africa
Background
AIDS was first recognized in the United
States in 1981 as a new disease entity in
homosexual men. Twenty years later,
AIDS had become a worldwide epidemic
that continues to expand.
The Joint United Nations Program on
HIV/AIDS estimated that by the end of
2017, a total of 30.8-42.9 million people
worldwide will live with HIV/AIDS, the
majority having been infected by
heterosexual contact
Severity of HIV&AIDS
20.9 million people were accessing
antiretroviral therapy in June 2017
36.6 million people globally were living with
HIV in 2016
1.8 million people become new infected with
HIV in 2016
17.8 million women living with HIV in 2016
2.1 million children living with HIV in 2016

Overview of Course of HIV
Infection
Following primary infection, there is a 4- to
11-day period between mucosal infection
and initial viremia; the viremia is
detectable for about 8–12 weeks.
Virus is widely disseminated throughout
the body during this time, and the
lymphoid organs become seeded.
An acute mononucleosis- like syndrome
develops in many patients (50–75%) 3–6
weeks after primary infection.
Overview of Course of HIV
Infection
There is a significant drop in numbers of
circulating CD4 T cells at this early time.
An immune response to HIV occurs 1
week to 3 months after infection, plasma
viremia drops, and levels of CD4 cells
rebound. However, the immune response
is unable to clear the infection completely,
and HIV-infected cells persist in the lymph
nodes

Control Measures
1.Almost all persons will remain infected for life
and will develop the disease, if untreated
