SDS	sodium dodecylsulfate
seborrheic dermatitis	A non-contagious inflammatory skin condition characterized by flaky, white to yellowish scales on various areas of the body, including the scalp, eyebrows, eyelids, ears, and trunk. Seborrheic dermatitis can occur with or without redness. The exact cause of seborrheic dermatitis is unknown, but it may be due to an overproduction of skin oil combined with irritation from a yeast. Factors that might increase the risk of seborrheic dermatitis include family history, stress, fatigue, use of alcohol-containing lotions, skin disorders, obesity, HIV infection, and certain neurologic conditions.
sIPI	secondary International Prognostic Index	Игорь_­2006
secondary prophylaxis	Additional drugs or other treatment given to prevent a reoccurrence of a disease or infection after initial treatment has already controlled the disease or infection. Sometimes maintenance therapy may be lifelong.

secondary resistance	When a drug-resistant strain of HIV emerges while a person is on antiretroviral therapy (ART) for the treatment of HIV infection.

selective His bundle pacing	SHBP	miss_c­um
selex	Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment	GhostL­ibraria­n
self-administered therapy (SAT)	A method of drug administration in which a person takes medication without being observed by a health care professional.
semen	A thick, whitish fluid that is discharged from the male penis during ejaculation. Semen contains sperms and various secretions. HIV can be transmitted through the semen of a man with HIV.
semen-derived enhancer of virus infection (SEVI)	Protein fibers found in semen that can trap HIV and help HIV attach to cells. Semen-derived enhancer of virus infection (SEVI) increases the risk of sexual transmission of HIV.
Semi-Anechoic Chamber	SAC chamber	vlad-a­nd-slav
semicoma	a semicomatose state from which a person can be aroused
seminal fluid	A thick, whitish fluid that is discharged from the male penis during ejaculation. Semen contains sperms and various secretions. HIV can be transmitted through the semen of a man with HIV.
SnCs	senescent cells	Maggot­ka
sensitivity	The probability that a medical test will detect the condition being tested for in people who actually have the condition. In other words, a sensitive test is one that produces true positive results. For example, the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) HIV antibody test is highly sensitive, which means the test can detect HIV in most people infected with HIV. However, because the ELISA can sometimes mistakenly recognize antibodies to other diseases as antibodies to HIV (a false positive result) a Western Blot or other HIV test is used to confirm a positive ELISA HIV antibody test.
sensory processing disorder	SPD	spanis­hru
sepsis	An overwhelming, life-threatening immune response to infection. Sepsis causes a systemic reaction that includes fever, chills, rapid heart rate, increased breathing rate, and possibly shock. Sepsis can also cause body organs, such as the kidneys or lungs, to fail. Sepsis is more likely to occur in people with weakened immune systems, including people with HIV, than in people with healthy immune systems.
trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole	septrin
