Abstract

In recent years, the epidemiology and prognosis of HIV infection have undergone significant changes thanks to the recommendation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) for all infected persons, the development of more effective and better tolerated drugs, and preventive measures such as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). The evolution of ART, now with simple oral and injectable options, has also contributed to improvements in comprehensive HIV treatment and care. With early diagnosis and early initiation of ART, the life expectancy of people with HIV has reached the same as the general population. However, many people with HIV remain undiagnosed or are diagnosed late, and some population groups experience greater vulnerability, affecting individual and collective health. In this review we review the current epidemiology, treatment and prognosis of HIV infection.
