AIDs/HIV
Definition & Cause:
AIDS stands for Acquired  Immune Deficiency Syndrome & it is a medical condition.AIDS is caused by HIV.HIV is a virus that gradually attacks immune system cells.As HIV progressively damages these cells,the body becomes more vulnerable to infections,which it will have difficulty in fighting off.It is at the point of very advanced HIV infection that a person is said to have AIDS.It can be years before HIV has damaged the immune system enough for AIDs to develop.There is still no cure for AIDs.The only way to stay safe is to be aware of how HIV is transmitted & how to prevent HIV infection.Although there is no cure for AIDs,HIV infection can be prevented & those with HIV can take antiretroviral drugs to delay the onset of AIDs.
