AIDS
Answers
Answer:
HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a medically classified disease which can lead to the development of AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). A destructive virus without a cure, HIV constantly attacks the body’s CD4 cells (also known as T cells – these cells identify and destroy virus infected cells), effectively working against the immune system.
When a person is diagnosed with HIV, it does not mean that they automatically have AIDS. Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome is the most advanced state of HIV (i.e. the final stage) and effectively happens when the virus destroys so many CD4 cells that the body is barely able to fend off illness and disease. Not every person with HIV, however, will develop AIDS. The disease may never advance this far and can take years before an HIV infection advances to the stage of AIDS.
Transmission:
Only blood, semen, and breast milk have been shown to transmit infection to others
