The word AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. This means deficiency of immune system, acquired during the lifetime of an individual indicating that it is not a congenital disease. ‘Syndrome’ means a group of symptoms.
AIDS has spread all over the world killing more than 25 million persons. AIDS is caused by the Human Immune deficiency Virus (HIV), which have an envelope enclosing the RNA genome. Transmission of HIV-infection generally occurs by (a) sexual contact with infected person, (b) by transfusion of contaminated blood and blood products, (c) by sharing infected needles as in the case of intravenous drug abusers and (d) from infected mother to her child through placenta.
The patient becomes so immune-deficient that he/she is unable to protect himself/herself against these infections. A widely used diagnostic test for AIDS is enzyme linked immune-sorbent assay (ELISA). Treatment of AIDS with anti- retroviral drugs is only partially effective.
AIDS has no cure; therefore prevention is the best option. HIV infection, more often, spreads due to conscious behavior patterns. Infection in blood transfusion patients, new-burns etc., may take place due to poor monitoring.
An epidemic disease caused by an infection by [human Immunodeficiency virus] (HIV-1, HIV-2), a retrovirus that causes immune system failure and debilitation and is often accompanied by infections such as tuberculosis. Aids are spread through direct contact with bodily fluids.
