**6. Conclusion**

The HIV epidemic clearly has broad and significant implications and impact on individuals infected and affected globally. Possibility of HIV patient developing severe HIV-related disease or not, depends on the degree of suppression of the immune system as well as the extensive reduction in the blood count. Therefore, it is important to identify those patients who are at risk of having the disease for proper assessment of infection and/or disease progression and subsequent monitoring. Prompt and consistent treatment should be given to those who are early diagnosed and side effects or drug toxicity assessment clearly made for effective consideration of drug change or drug discontinuation. Recently, with the introduction of HAART most of the immunological and haematological complications has been reduced, though some patients still develop unpredictable complications.
