HIV, the human immunodeficiency virus that causes AIDS, is one of the largest pandemics in recorded history. According to the United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS and the World Health Organization (WHO), there is an estimated 33 million people living with HIV. Imagine knowing what treatments work for people just like you — and having the ability to easily connect with those people. That’s what makes PatientsLikeMe different. By sharing your symptoms, treatments and more, you can gain insight into what affects your condition while helping others learn from your experiences. Together, we can achieve more.
