Rates of HIV infections are rising, but fewer people are dying from AIDS, data from the Kirby Institute for infection and immunity in society says.
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) causes acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), which leads to death without treatment.
The Kirby Institute’s Professor Andrew Grulich said an HIV diagnosis was no longer a death sentence.
“Generally, people with HIV don’t get AIDS anymore,” Prof Grulich said.
People infected are mostly homosexual men.
