Many advances have been made in the prevention of HIV transmission and management of HIV/AIDS since the virus was discovered in the early 1980s. One of the most important discoveries has been antiretroviral treatment, which can halt the replication of HIV and ease symptoms, turning AIDS into a chronic condition instead of a rapidly terminal illness. Despite advances, HIV remains a major public health challenge. This article reviews the genus, life cycle, and transmission of HIV, as well as workplace issues surrounding the virus and the challenges of developing an HIV vaccine.
自20世纪80年代初发现艾滋病毒以来，在艾滋病毒传播的预防和艾滋病毒/艾滋病的管理方面已经取得了许多进展。最重要的发现之一是抗逆转录病毒治疗，它可以阻止艾滋病毒的复制并缓解症状，将艾滋病转变为一种慢性病而非迅速致命的疾病。尽管取得了进展，但艾滋病毒仍然是一项重大的公共卫生挑战。本文回顾了艾滋病毒的种类、生命周期和传播途径，以及围绕该病毒的工作场所问题和开发艾滋病毒疫苗所面临的挑战。
