Discrimination against people living with HIV / AIDS still exists even after the HIV / AIDS epidemic has lasted nearly 30 years.

Research on thousands of people shows that most people living with HIV have viruses for years and then damage enough immune system to develop AIDS.

The term AIDS applies to the most advanced stage of HIV infection. The current definition of AIDS includes all HIV-infected individuals with less than 200 CD4 + T cells (healthy adults usually have about 800 or more CD4 + T cell numbers). In addition, the definition includes those who have been diagnosed with HIV, who have one or more clinical symptoms (including opportunistic infections and certain cancers) that affect patients with advanced HIV disease . Some people become sick like influenza within a month after being infected with the HIV virus. However, many people did not show any symptoms in the first infection.
