Some of these pathogens are practically global in their distribution. Fortunately, the most ubiquitous viruses tend to produce the mildest forms of disease. In the majority of cases, those infected remain asymptomatic. On the other hand, other viruses are associated with life-threatening diseases that have impacted human history.

HIV is a sexually transmitted virus that infects and destroys helper T cells of the human immune system. AIDS eventually develops in most people with untreated HIV infections, usually several years after the initial infection with the virus. AIDS is diagnosed when the immune system has been weakened to the point that it can no longer fight off diseases.

It outlines the transmission methods, the progression of the disease through three phases, and the challenges of treatment with HAART, including cost and drug resistance. Additionally, it explores the origins of HIV-1 and HIV-2, emerging strains complicating vaccine development, and emphasizes the role of behavioral changes in prevention strategies.

It is a disease caused by infection with the human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV. HIV is a sexually transmitted virus that infects and destroys helper T cells of the human immune system (see the concept Disorders of the Immune System to learn more about how HIV infects immune system cells). AIDS eventually develops in most people with untreated HIV infections, usually several years after the initial infection with the virus.

It highlights their structure, including an outer envelope and reverse transcriptase that converts RNA to DNA for integration into the host genome. The retroviral lifecycle involves reverse transcription and the production of new virions.
