Abstract
Background: The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) pandemic is one of the most significant public health challenges that has globally affected more than 84 million individuals, resulting in the deaths of over 36 million people since its outbreak in the early 1980s. Despite its devastating consequences, the epidemic has initiated revolutionary advancements in infectious disease research, clinical treatment, and health equity.
Objectives: This review aims to provide an in-depth study of the pathogenesis, epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic improvements, treatment options, and preventive measures involved with HIV, and to demonstrate the interaction that exists between scientific discovery, community advocacy, and government health policy in the fight against the disease.
Methodology: A comprehensive literature review was conducted to combine peer-reviewed research articles, global health literature, and clinical research to assess the biological, clinical, and socio-political aspects of HIV. Changes in disease management and the possibility of a functional HIV cure are also discussed.
Results: The results reveal that innovations in antiretroviral treatment, rapid diagnostic tests, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) schemes, and community-based approaches have transformed HIV from a deadly disease to a chronic and manageable condition. Understanding of the molecular mechanisms of HIV infection and immunological escape has been used in formulating targeted treatment methods, while epidemiological statistics indicate gaps that still exist globally.
Conclusion: The struggle against HIV serves as an example of how multidisciplinary cooperation, technological development, and persistent activism can transform global health realities. Significant challenges remain, particularly in low-resource countries and among marginalized populations, but the comprehensive work in HIV research and public health has improved the outlook for eventually ending the pandemic.

Key words: pathogenesis, antiretroviral therapy, prevention, diagnostics, epidemiology, global health, public health policy, chronic disease management, viral pathogenesis, global health initiatives.
