Abstract

HIV/AIDS has always been one of the most completely global of conditions. The mortal immunodeficiency contagion (HIV) is a advanced contagion that causes HIV infection and AIDS. AIDS is a condition in humans in which progressive failure of the vulnerable system allows life- hanging infections and cancers to thrive. Infection with HIV occurs by the transfer of blood, semen, vaginal fluid, bone milk. Within these fleshly fluids, HIV is present as both free contagion patches and contagion within infected vulnerable cells. HIV contagion was first linked in humans in 1959 which was transferred from chimpanzees to mortal during hunting. The contagion is transmitted to other organisms when they come in contact with various fluids of infected person. There are 2 subtypes of contagion- HIV- 1 and HIV- 2 from which the HIV- 1 is more common. Infection progresses in 3 stages and worsens the symptoms and results in reduced life span of case. No absolute cure is available for the complaint but Antiretroviral remedy (ART) improves living condition and increases life expectation of case.
