Currently, there are so many HIV infections that we can call an infection as the pandemic. Bringing down the number of new cases of the disease is a priority and various promotional campaigns are currently carried out in order to increase people's awareness and sensitize them to appropriate preventive movements. The goal of ending the HIV / AIDS pandemic is theoretically achievable, but requires addressing this global health catastrophe at the individual, regional, national and global levels. The problem is that some people do not know they are infected with HIV, which increases the chances of the virus spreading. The path to reduce the pandemic is difficult and calls for meticulous and accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of people who are already infected. Treatment optimization is required to extend the life of those who are infected and to prevent new cases of HIV. Since 1981 (i.e. the announcement of the first cases of the disease), acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) has become one of the deadliest pandemics in history. Since the 1980s, tremendous progress has been made in diagnosing and treating infected people. The discovery of HIV as a causative agent of AIDS by the Institut Pasteur team led by Montagnier and Barré-Sinoussi and the US National Institutes of Health team led by Gallo was just the beginning of the process. Currently, dozens of clinical trials are still underway to improve existing solutions. Many US government agencies have joined forces to turn the tide of the HIV / AIDS pandemic. They support a wide range of activities, from research to technical assistance and financial support to other countries in the fight against the global HIV / AIDS pandemic. These global activities are coordinated with PEPFAR. The U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) is the largest commitment by any nation to address a single disease in history, enabled by strong bipartisan support across nine U.S. congresses and three presidential administrations, and through the American people’s generosity. The NIH (National Institutes of Health) continues an intensive research program about HIV / AIDS. Key words: HIV, AIDS, epidemiology, prevention
