Description
The human immunodeficiency
virus (HIV) was unknown until the early 1980's but since then has infected
millions of persons in a worldwide pandemic. The result of HIV infection is
relentless destruction of the immune system leading to onset of the acquired
immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). The AIDS epidemic has already resulted in the
deaths of over half its victims. All HIV-infected persons are at risk for
illness and death from opportunistic infectious and neoplastic complications
because of the inevitable manifestations of AIDS.
