Description

Abstract: The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) has been a significant global health challenge since its discovery in the 1980s, leading to the devastating Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Despite advancements in medical research and antiretroviral therapies, HIV/AIDS remains a pressing public health concern, particularly in resource-limited regions. This comprehensive review provides updated data and scientific insights on the global impact of HIV, shedding light on the current state of the epidemic and the challenges faced in combating it. The review highlights the resurgence of HIV cases in Eastern European countries, such as Ukraine, Estonia, and Latvia, with surprising increases in AIDS cases observed in East Asian countries. However, it is in sub-Saharan Africa that the burden of HIV remains most acute, with high prevalence rates and a significant number of affected individuals. The region requires continued attention and resources to address the complex challenges associated with HIV prevention, treatment, and care. The article delves into the classification and structure of HIV, emphasizing its belonging to the Lentivirinae subfamily, specifically HIV-1 and HIV-2. HIV-1, the predominant viral species globally, exhibits a distinct clinical latency phase, contributing to its persistence and infectivity. The high replication rate and genetic variability of HIV, driven by the error-prone reverse transcriptase enzyme, result in the emergence of diverse subtypes and strains across different regions. Furthermore, the article explores the structural components of HIV-1, including the envelope glycoproteins (gp120 and gp41), matrix protein, and various enzymes critical to the viral life cycle. Despite progress in medical research and access to antiretroviral therapies, HIV/AIDS continues to present challenges such as limited resources, drug resistance, and regional disparities.
