AB ESSENTIALS  OF  DIAGNOSIS  &  TYPICAL  FEATURESHuman  immunodeficiency  virus  (HIV)  causes  progressive  destruction  of  CD4  T  lymphocytes,  ultimately  leading  to  acquired  immunodeficiency  syndrome  (AIDS).Perinatal  transmission  of  HIV  is  declining  worldwide  due  to  antiretroviral  treatment  (ART)  and  other  interventions.In  the  United  States,  adolescents  and  young  adults  are  at  ongoing  risk  of  HIV  acquisition,  particularly  young  men  of  color  who  have  sex  with  other  men.
