Medical and social attention to HIV infection has declined globally and is increasingly focused on developing regions, where the epidemic is still largely uncontrolled. In North America and western Europe, AIDS is rarely in newspaper headlines or mentioned in television news. The success of antiretroviral therapy largely explains this change in the perception of HIV/AIDS, which was once a life-threatening disease but is now, more many, viewed as a chronic illness. Indeed, individuals on treatment currently benefit from life expectancies close to those of people who are HIV negative.

医学和社会对艾滋病毒感染的关注在全球范围内已下降，并且越来越多地集中在该流行病仍基本不受控制的发展中地区。在北美和西欧，艾滋病很少在报纸头条上或电视新闻中提及。抗逆转录病毒疗法的成功很大程度上解释了人们对艾滋病毒/艾滋病的看法上的这种改变。艾滋病毒/艾滋病曾经是威胁生命的疾病，但现在更多地被视为慢性病。确实，目前接受治疗的人的预期寿命与艾滋病毒阴性患者的预期寿命相近。
