Abstract
The first case of HIV infection had appeared and was diagnosed in the last century, the 1980s. From then on, this virus comes into people's view and gradually catches scientists' attention. This type of virus infects people by targeting the T cells in people's immune system, and it may develop AIDS, which is a deadly disease that has a high fatality rate and has no cures currently. People with AIDS will have an under-functioning immune system that could be easily infected by other lethal pathogens and then cause severe symptoms and irreversible damage to the human body. Existing research from the global shows that a treatment called antiretroviral therapy has a positive effect on controlling HIV infection hence reducing the probability of developing AIDS. However, many problems still have not been solved until now, for example, the development of drug resistance, and the side effects of drugs act on patients, also there are currently no effective medicines that can be used to cure the HIV-1 infection has been discovered. This paper reviews relevant literature and reviews this virus and disease based on the latest consensus globally, to increase the understanding of HIV infection and lay a foundation for future drug research and clinical treatment.
