Question

what is AIDS . define properly in about 200-300 words

Answer 1

HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. HIV is a virus. Some viruses, such as the ones that cause the common cold or the flu, stay in the body only for a few days. Some viruses, such as HIV, never go away. When a person becomes infected with HIV, that person becomes "HIV positive" and will always be HIV positive. Over time, HIV disease infects and kills white blood cells called CD4 lymphocytes (or "T cells") and can leave the body unable to fight off certain kinds of infections and cancers. Infections that occur due to HIV are called opportunistic infections because they take advantage of the impaired immune system.

With successful antiretroviral therapy (ART), the body can remain healthy and fight off most viruses and bacteria. A healthy person usually has a CD4 count of between 600 and 1,200. When the CD4 count drops below 200, a person's immune system is severely weakened, and that person is then diagnosed with AIDS, even if he or she has not become sick from other infections.

AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome and is caused by HIV. The names HIV and AIDS can be confusing because both terms describe the same disease. Think of AIDS as advanced HIV disease. A person with AIDS has an immune system so weakened by HIV that the person usually becomes sick from one of several opportunistic infections or cancers such as PCP (a type of pneumonia) or KS (Kaposi sarcoma, a type of cancer that affects the skin and internal organs in HIV), wasting syndrome (involuntary weight loss), memory impairment, or tuberculosis. If someone with HIV is diagnosed with one of these opportunistic infections (even if the CD4 count is above 200), he or she is said to have AIDS. AIDS usually takes time to develop from the time a person acquires HIV--usually between 2 to 10 years or more.

Once a person has been diagnosed with AIDS, she or he is always considered to have AIDS, even if that person's CD4 count goes up again and/or they recover from the disease that defined their AIDS diagnosis.

Answer 2

AIDS virus or Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome is a STD disease means sexually transmitted disease. This disease get transferred by blood to blood contact or sexual contact between male and female. this disease makes a man's immune system weaker and weaker to such an extent that minor diseases like cold,fever,etc could kill it. there is no such medicine that could kill the virus. this virus could only be prevented not be cured we could prevent this type of virus by:
1. not making any illegal sexual contact
2. by wearing a condom or other contraceptive devices
Life Span of such persons is very short. it basically targets the immune system of a person and then other parts. People slowly lose their immunity to fight diseases. this virus gets multiply fast.
we can also say that " VIRUS EATS UP THE WHOLE MAN"
