Abstract

Infection with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is prevalent throughout the world and is characterized by a progressive deterioration of the immune system that is usually fatal if untreated. As of 2013, HIV-1 was estimated to infect 35 million people worldwide (http://www.who.int/hiv/data/en/). Over 95% of these infections are in low- and middle-income countries among young adults. The acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) that results from chronic HIV-1 infection is the sixth leading cause of mortality worldwide; it was estimated to have caused 1.5 million deaths in 2013 (http://www.who.int/hiv/data/en/).
