Introduction[edit | edit source]

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a virus that attacks the human immune system and when left untreated, leads to Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Immunosuppression (the reduced ability to fight infections and other diseases) is determined by laboratory measurements of CD4+ T cells and plasma HIV viral load[1].
