!!!HIV

HIV, "Human Immunodeficiency Virus", identified in 1983 as 
the pathogen causing  AIDS. HIV infections can be identified by an HIV 
antibody test, which has to be performed in conjunction with medical 
counselling under the Austrian AIDS law. This test only yields 
conclusive results after a time lapse of approximately 3 months after 
infection.

\\
The number of HIV-infected persons in Austria is not exactly known 
because it is not a notifiable disease, but is estimated to have 
ranged between 9,000 and 15,000 in 1999.
