HIV (Human Immunodeficiency virus) causes (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) AIDS, in which the immune system of body totally fails to develop any defense against the foreign invaders. Infection with HIV occurs by transfer of blood, semen, and breast milk. HIV/AIDS is a global problem and it results nearly 25 million deaths worldwide. Developing countries like Pakistan have issues regarding Public Health. Currently, epidemic of HIV/AIDS is established in Pakistan and there is a threat of an expanded HIV/AIDS outbreak in the country. The major reason is that population is engaging in high-risk practices, low awareness about HIV/AIDS, and treacherous blood transfusion practices. A supplementary threat to Pakistan is India because both sharing a border and India is facing a rapidly growing HIV/AIDS epidemic. Local NGOs, National and International organizations are warning that in near future Pakistan may experiences bad situation regarding HIV/AIDS.In the present article we focused current situation of surveillance of HIV/AIDS, its virology, genotype, diagnostics, high-risk groups, reasons of vulnerability in Pakistani population, and the role of different national and international organizations in this situation.
艾滋病毒（人类免疫缺陷病毒）导致（获得性免疫缺陷综合征）艾滋病，在这种情况下，人体的免疫系统完全无法对外国侵略者产生任何防御。艾滋病毒的感染是通过血液、精液和母乳的转移发生的。艾滋病毒/艾滋病是一个全球性问题，它导致了全球近 2500 万人死亡。巴基斯坦等发展中国家存在公共卫生问题。目前，艾滋病毒/艾滋病在巴基斯坦已经流行，该国爆发艾滋病毒/艾滋病的威胁正在扩大。主要原因是人口从事高风险行为、对艾滋病毒/艾滋病的认识水平低以及危险的输血行为。巴基斯坦面临的另一个威胁来自印度，因为两国共享边界，印度正面临着艾滋病毒/艾滋病迅速蔓延的局面。当地非政府组织、国家和国际组织警告说，在不久的将来，巴基斯坦可能会在艾滋病毒/艾滋病方面面临糟糕的局面。在本文中，我们重点介绍了艾滋病毒/艾滋病的监测现状、病毒学、基因型、诊断、高风险群体、巴基斯坦人口易受感染的原因以及不同国家和国际组织在这种情况下的作用。
