With 'M' for "major", this is by far the most common type of HIV, with more than 90% of HIV/AIDS cases caused from infection with HIV-1 group M viruses. (wikipedia.org)
HIV disease is caused by infection with HIV-1 or HIV-2, which are retroviruses in the Retroviridae family, Lentivirus genus. (medscape.com)
The patient with HIV may present with signs and symptoms of any of the stages of HIV infection. (medscape.com)
CDC guidelines recommend testing for HIV infection with a US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved antigen/antibody immunoassay that detects HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibodies and the HIV-1 p24 antigen, with supplemental testing after a reactive assay result to differentiate between HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibodies. (medscape.com)
If supplemental testing for HIV-1/HIV-2 antibodies shows nonreactive or indeterminant results (or if acute HIV infection or recent exposure is suspected or reported), an HIV-1 nucleic acid test is recommended to differentiate acute HIV-1 infection from a false-positive test result. (medscape.com)

AIDS11
HIV-1 viruses can be further stratified into groups M, N, O, and P. Among these, HIV-1 group M viruses are the most prevalent, infecting nearly 90% of people living with HIV and are responsible for the global AIDS pandemic. (wikipedia.org)
HIV-2 viruses are generally considered to be less virulent and less transmissible than HIV-1 M group viruses, although HIV-2 is also known to still cause AIDS. (wikipedia.org)

Virus6
HIV-1 is the most common and most pathogenic strain of the virus. (wikipedia.org)
Scientists divide HIV-1 into a major group (group M) and two or more minor groups, namely groups N, O and possibly a group P. Each group is believed to represent an independent transmission of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) into humans, excluding subtypes within a specific group. (wikipedia.org)
This major HIV virus, which was the source of pre-1960 pandemic viruses, originated in the 1920s in Léopoldville, the Belgian Congo, today known as Kinshasa, which is now the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). (wikipedia.org)

One of the prevailing challenges in the pursuit of effective management of HIV is the virus's pronounced genetic variability and rapid viral evolution. (wikipedia.org)
When tested, the YBF380 variant reacted with an viral envelope antigen from SIVcpz rather than with those of Group M or Group O, indicating it was indeed a novel strain of HIV-1. (wikipedia.org)
A main goal of HIV treatment is to reduce a person's viral load to an undetectable level. (nih.gov)
An undetectable viral load means that the level of HIV in the blood is too low to be detected by a viral load test . (nih.gov)
People with HIV who maintain an undetectable viral load have effectively no risk of transmitting HIV to their HIV-negative partners through sex. (nih.gov)
HIV medicines prevent HIV from multiplying (making copies of itself), which reduces the amount of HIV in the body (called the viral load ). (nih.gov)

When choosing an HIV treatment regimen, people with HIV and their health care providers consider many factors, including possible side effects of HIV medicines and potential drug interactions . (nih.gov)
As HIV treatment continues to improve, people are less likely to have side effects from their HIV medicines. (nih.gov)
HIV medicines can interact with other HIV medicines in an HIV treatment regimen or with other medicines a person is taking. (nih.gov)
