Since the discovery in 1980s, HIV/AIDS has become the most important infectious disease globally. Many of the clinical features of HIV/AIDS can be ascribed to the profound immune deficiency in patients. HIV infection also increases the risk of autoimmune diseases and malignancies such as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and Kaposi's sarcoma.
