Answer:
- Definition–AIDS stands for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (a disease where the body's cellular immunity is severely damaged and thus lowers your resistance to infection and/or malignancy). HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. While there is no cure for the disease, there are medications that slow down its progression.
- Precautions–Wear protective eye wear, masks or face shields (with safety glasses or goggles) during procedures likely to generate droplets of blood or body fluids. In general, protective eye wear, masks and clothing are not needed for routine care of AIDS virus-infected persons.
- Prevention–There's no cure for AIDS, and without treatment, life expectancy after diagnosis is about three years . This may be shorter if the person develops a severe opportunistic illness. However, treatment with antiretroviral drugs can prevent AIDS from developing.
This is your answer.
