The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is lentivirus

(subgroup of retrovirus) which causes HIV infection and

it acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). HIV

infection leads to low levels of CD4+T cells through number

prevention and control as Millennium Development Goal

(MDG) and WHO's operational goal. In 2000, when the United

Nations Millennium Declaration was made, it was estimated that

36 million adults and 1.4 million children live with HIV with

6 of MGD suggests: "Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other

diseases"
