The global incidence of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is rising, with a notable increase in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infections in India. This article details transmission, risk groups, clinical cases in adults and children, and management strategies for AIDS.

Area of Science:

Public Health
Infectious Diseases
Immunology

Background:

The global incidence of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is increasing worldwide.
A significant rise in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection rates has been observed among individuals tested in India.
World Health Organization (WHO) projections highlight the escalating global impact of HIV/AIDS.

Purpose of the Study:

To provide a comprehensive overview of AIDS, including its global incidence and specific trends in India.
To identify various modes of HIV transmission and associated high-risk groups.
To discuss clinical manifestations, diagnosis, management, prognosis, and prevention of AIDS in both adult and pediatric populations.

Main Methods:

Review of global and regional (India) HIV/AIDS incidence data.

Keywords:
