H.A.I.V. - I got this acronym from a nursing context in Canadian French contents. Sounds like a state of a patient or a name of an illness. Can anyone help me?

This might be the answer you're looking for, if it would make sense in your context?

I have also seen this referred to as 'total parenteral feeding OR nutrition', but I have severe doubts that this is in fact the exact same thing.

agree  Dr Sue Levy (X): most likely solution for the moment - I've never seen HAIV used for VIH/HIV in French (or English in a medical document for that matter!)
10 mins
  -> Thanks a lot, Sue! // Nor have I, and it only got one measly Ghit associated directly with SIDA in FR (loads in SP, though)

disagree  BelkisDV: Ok since my first comment was deleted and you changed your answer which was partially in French, now I have to disagree. Yes, same as yours, you hid your answer because you answered incorrectly. That is the lingustic basis for my disagreement.
41 mins
  -> Apart from some kind of 'revenge attack', please could you explain the linguistic basis for your disagreement?

Let the Asker decide, since they said it seems like a condition, not a treatment. Thank you.

neutral  Tony M: Fair enough, except it wouldn't be that if the original was in FR // Maybe in Spanish, but this usage doesn't seem to be very common in FR (a single Google hit...)

  -> I understand your concern, however HIV would be VIH in Spanish, yet callling it HIV is very common. Thanks.
