HIV/AIDS refers to Human Immunodeficiency Virus infection and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, a spectrum of conditions caused by HIV. HIV attacks the immune system, weakening the body's ability to fight infections and diseases. AIDS is the most advanced stage of HIV infection, characterized by severe immunodeficiency and the presence of opportunistic infections or cancers.
Human rights encompass the fundamental freedoms and entitlements that every individual is inherently entitled to, regardless of race, gender, nationality, religion, or other status. In the context of HIV/AIDS, human rights include the right to nondiscrimination, access to healthcare and treatment, privacy and confidentiality, informed consent, and freedom from violence and coercion. Protecting human rights in the response to HIV/AIDS is essential for ensuring equitable access to prevention, treatment, care, and support services, addressing stigma and discrimination, and upholding the dignity and well-being of all individuals affected by HIV/AIDS.
