AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome)
AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) is a major worldwide epidemic. The disease is caused by infection with HIV (human immunodeficiency virus), which kills or harms cells of the body’s immune system (T-cells), gradually destroying the body’s ability to fight infections and certain cancers. There are two types of HIV, HIV-1, which is distributed worldwide, and HIV-2, which is largely confined to West Africa. People diagnosed with AIDS are likely to get life-threatening diseases called opportunistic infections which are caused by bacteria, viruses and other types of microscopic organisms that are usually harmless to healthy people. AIDS is called “acquired” to distinguish it from inherited (genetic) forms of immunodeficiency. It is called a “syndrome” because it is a set of symptoms that occur together, rather than a clear-cut disease.
