Overview

HIV/AIDS and global health refers to the worldwide public health challenge posed by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), and to the coordinated medical, social, and policy responses aimed at preventing infection, treating those affected, and reducing the disease burden across countries. HIV is transmitted through unprotected sexual contact, contaminated blood and needles, and from mother to child, and progressively weakens the immune system; AIDS represents its most advanced stage. As a global health priority, HIV/AIDS intersects with prevention, antiretroviral treatment, health systems, stigma, and the social determinants of health, particularly in heavily affected regions. Research in this area examines knowledge, attitudes, and preventive behaviors; antiretroviral treatment adherence and its psychosocial predictors; disability and long-term health outcomes among people on therapy; and cognitive functioning in adults aging with HIV. Reported studies also address HIV status disclosure, serodiscordant couples and prevalence among pregnant women, consistent condom use among HIV-positive women, healthcare worker knowledge of pre-exposure prophylaxis, and sociocultural barriers to caring for HIV-affected orphans, with much of this work drawn from settings across Sub-Saharan Africa. Together these strands reflect the multidimensional nature of the global response, spanning biomedical, behavioral, structural, and care-delivery approaches to controlling the epidemic.
