AB The  human  immunodeficiency  virus  (HIV)  and  Acquired  Immunodeficiency  Syndrome  (AIDS)  remain  a  major  cause  of  infectious  disease  deaths  worldwide.  Despite  decades  of  diagnostic  and  therapeutic  advances,  increased  life  expectancies  from  highly  active  antriretrovirals  are  in  general  limited  to  high-income  industrialized  countries,  and  morbidity  and  mortality  around  the  world  remains  high.  The  pandemic  continues  to  significantly  impact  affect  Sub-Saharan  Africa,  where  heterosexual  transmission  is  common  and  as  many  as  1  in  20  individuals  live  with  HIV  and  AIDS.  In  the  United  States,  there  are  approximately  50,000  new  cases  annually,  with  higher  incidences  in  men  who  have  sex  with  men  and  young  minority  populations.
