Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome
(AIDS) Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a serious, life-threatening illness caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). HIV attacks the immune system, which is the body’s natural defense against infection and disease. AIDS is the most advanced stage of HIV infection and is characterized by a severe weakening of the immune system, rendering the body highly vulnerable to a range of infections and other diseases. AIDS has no known cure, but antiretroviral therapy (ART) can significantly reduce the risk of developing the most severe forms of the illness and prolong the lifespan of those with the virus. Without treatment, AIDS can lead to death. AIDS education and awareness are essential for preventing the spread of the virus.
