HIV-I Medical Abbreviation

Human Immunodeficiency Virus

The human immunodeficiency virus is a lentivirus (a subgroup of retrovirus) that causes the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS),a condition in humans in which progressive failure of the immune system allows life-threatening opportunistic infections and cancers to thrive. Without treatment, average survival time after infection with HIV is estimated to be 9 to 11 years, depending on the HIV subtype.
