HIV+ is a project helmed by Pedro Peñas Robles, an artist deeply entrenched within the industrial and dark ambient music scenes since its inception in the late 90s. Born in Spain, Robles has delved into a variety of experimental soundscapes under the moniker HIV+ and is known for his introspective and often unsettling auditory explorations. His work commonly addresses themes related to disease, virology, and dystopian landscapes, which are reflected in the titles of his releases.

In recent years, HIV+ has continued to push the boundaries of the dark electronic genre. With releases like "Antiretroviral / Cáspide Icosaédrica" and "Ebola 1976," Robles incorporates chilling sound textures and uncompromising sonic pulses that evoke the complexities surrounding viral epidemics and human struggle. The project's release "Split," showcasing collaborations or shared outputs with other artists, and "Vibrio Cholerae," named after the bacteria responsible for cholera, both perpetuate the HIV+ legacy of crafting confrontational music that challenges listeners to engage with the often-overlooked dark corners of the human experience and the biological phenomena that affect society.
