Answer:
Alternative Name: Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome
AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is the final and most serious stage of HIV disease, which causes severe damage to the immune system.
The Centers for Disease Control has defined AIDS as beginning when a person with HIV infection has a CD4 cell (also called "t-cell", a type of immune cell) count below 200. It is also defined by numerous opportunistic infections and cancers that occur in the presence of HIV infection.
Transmission of the virus occurs:
Through sexual contact -- including oral, vaginal, and anal sex.
Through blood -- via blood transfusions (now extremely rare in the U.S) or needle sharing.
From mother to child -- a pregnant woman can passively transmit the virus to her fetus, or a nursing mother can transmit it to her baby.
symptoms :
Within a few weeks of HIV infection, flu-like symptoms such as fever, sore throat and fatigue can occur. Then the disease is usually asymptomatic until it progresses to AIDS. AIDS symptoms include weight loss, fever or night sweats, fatigue and recurrent infections.
for control of these disease:
You can use strategies such as abstinence (not having sex), never sharing needles, and using condoms the right way every time you have sex. You may also be able to take advantage of HIV prevention medicines such as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP).
