Acquired
immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a chronic, potentially life-threatening condition caused by the
human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). By damaging your immune system,
HIV interferes with your body's ability to fight
infection and disease. AIDS is a set of symptoms (or syndrome as opposed to a virus) caused by HIV. A person is said to have AIDS when their
immune system is too weak to fight off infection, and they develop certain defining symptoms and illnesses. This is the last stage of HIV, when the
infection is very advanced, and if left untreated will lead to death. Basic facts about AIDS, stands for acquired immune deficiency syndrome; it’s also called advanced
HIV infection or late-stage HIV.AIDS is a set of symptoms and illnesses that develop as a result of advanced
HIV infection which has destroyed the immune system. Fewer people develop AIDS now because treatment for
HIV means that more people are staying well. Although there is no cure for HIV, with the right treatment and support, people living with
HIV can enjoy long and healthy lives. To do this, it’s especially important to commit to taking treatment correctly. acquired immune deficiency syndrome
