- Abstract
Pandemic HIV/AIDS infection is still a global problem. The infection is mainly among men in the Czech Republic but in recent years the disease has increased among women as well. Dermatological problems are common in people living with HIV and often lead to the diagnosis of this infection. We present the procedure for the investigation of anti-HIV antibodies and a list of health and epidemiological situations in which it is appropriate to examine these antibodies and a list of HIV centers. The occurrence of typical symptoms is reported depending on the stage of the disease. Finally, we focus on prophylaxis by administering antiretrovirals after a risk situation and inform about the possibility of preexposure prophylaxis. Early diagnosis enables a quality of patient's live and reduces the possibility of infection transmission to others.
