HIV AIDS
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a virus that attacks and weakens the immune system, making it harder for the body to fight infections and disease. Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is the final stage of HIV infection when the immune system is badly damaged. HIV is spread through bodily fluids and mainly through unprotected sex, infected blood transfusions, hypodermic needles, and from mother to child during pregnancy, delivery, or breastfeeding. Understanding the symptoms, progression, causes, risks, diagnosis and advancements in HIV/AIDS is key to prevention and treatment.
