AIDS/HIV infection
HIV infection is a communicable disease caused by the
human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) which damages the body's immune
system, the system that fights infections. Over time and without the
immune system's protection, the body is defenseless against serious and
potentially life-threatening diseases which can lead to the development
of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), the later stage of HIV
infection.
