HIV/AIDS prevention  

Définition

  • HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) causes AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome), a syndrome rather than a single disease because it can involve a wide range of symptoms, opportunistic infections, specific cancers, and complications. Over 1.1 million individuals in the United States and 34 million individuals globally are infected with HIV. Primary HIV/AIDS prevention involves reducing the transmission of HIV from infected (HIV-positive) to uninfected (HIV-negative) individuals.
