Over the last decade, HIV cases have increased globally. The sooner you get tested and diagnosed, the better your chances are at living a long, healthy life.
The human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, attacks the body's immune system, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. If left untreated, it can lead to AIDS, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
In the last decade, the number of people living with HIV around the world increased from 30.7 million in 2010 to 38 million in 2019, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.
