HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infects immune system cells
disease infection causes a progressive decline of the immune system, thereby undermining the body's ability to withstand certain infections and other diseases AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) refers to the most advanced type of HIV infection, the emergence of more than 20 opportunistic infections or any of the related cancers can be identified 　　2 HIV can be transmitted in a number of ways
unprotected sexual intercourse (through the vaginal or anal) or oral sex with an infected person, imported into infected blood, the use of contaminated needles, needles or other sharpeners, and transmitted between the mother and her baby during pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding 　　3 There are 35.3 million people living with HIV worldwide
more than 35.3 million are currently living with HIV, of whom 2.1 million are adolescents (10-19 years of age) The inherent characteristic of this period of adolescence is that they are in a physical and emotional transition period and are more likely to take risky behaviour, making all adolescents vulnerable to HIV infection The vast majority of people living with HIV are in low- and middle-income countries The number of new infections in 2012 was estimated at 2.3 million 　　4 HIV is the world's leading infectious disease killer
with an estimated 36 million people dying from HIV/AIDS to date, up from 1.6 million in 2012 　　5 Antiretroviral combination therapy (ART) can prevent the reproduction of HIV in the human body
if HIV ceases to multiply, it can extend the life of the human immune cells and protect the body from infection If one of the HIV-positive spouses receives antiretroviral combination therapy, the likelihood of sexual transmission to the HIV-negative party is significantly reduced 　　6 By the end of 2012, nearly 10 million HIV-positive people in low- and middle-income countries had access to antiretroviral treatment
according to the new 2013 guidelines, some 26 million people needed antiretroviral drugs 　　7 An estimated 3.34 million children are infected with HIV
according to 2011 data, most of these children live in sub-Saharan Africa and are infected by HIV-positive mothers during pregnancy, childbirth or breastfeeding More than 900 children are newly infected with HIV every day 　　8 Mother-to-child transmission of HIV can almost completely avoid access to prevention interventions remains limited in most low- and middle-income countries However, progress has been made In 2011, 56 per cent of pregnant women living with HIV received WHO-recommended medications that are most effective in preventing mother-to-child transmission of HIV 　　9 HIV is the most important risk factor for active TB
in 2011, some 430,000 people living with HIV died from TB, accounting for one quarter of the 1.7 million AIDS deaths that year The majority of people living with HIV and tuberculosis at the same time live in sub-Saharan Africa (about 79 per cent of the world's cases) 10 There are a number of ways to prevent HIV transmission
using safe sex, such as condom use, to be tested and treated for sexually transmitted infections, including HIV, to avoid injecting drugs, or must use new disposable needles and tubes when injecting, ensure that any blood or blood products you may need are tested for HIV
