Human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV for short, is a virus that attacks lymphocyte cells in the body and consequently reduces the effectiveness of immunity as a response against various diseases. This type of virus is specific in that there is no cure for it, but rather a antiretroviral therapy that enables a control of the amount of virus in the body, reducing it at the same time to a minimum, so that the potential person is unable to transmit the virus to seronegative individuals. This is the reason why high risk groups such as intravenous drug addicts, promiscuous individuals and others should be regularly tested for the human immunodeficiency virus in accordance with the current guidelines. Many HIV-negative individuals have a fear of HIV-positive ones, which in turn leads to many psychologically difficult situations. Some of these situations lead infected people to extreme psychological states such as depression, anxiety, and/or social isolation. Also, stigma plays a very substantial role on the psychological state of an infected person, unfortunately not in a good way. For these reasons, support groups for infected people are of utmost importance, giving them at least a little bright hope that they are not alone, that they are accepted and that they are in no way different from other people. Since the cultural context of infected people varies, more precisely the area in which they live and/or grow up, experiences are also linked to such places. For this reason, society and the environment should be involved in the projects of the communities in which they live, and expand their understanding and tolerance to infected people, starting with educating themselves and onwards.
