Sainargo: I was just checking to see who would answer first and correct. Your answer is close but not accurate. The correct answer is
Sainargo: HIV is a viral rather than bacterial disease, so antibiotics cannot be used to treat it directly. But because the virus disrupts the body's own disease-fighting immune system, antibiotics critical for treating patients infected with HIV.
