HIV/AIDS

HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus, which causes HIV infection. HIV attacks and destroys the CD4 cells of the immune system (CD4 is a glycoprotein found on the surface of immune cells such as T helper cells, monocytes, dendritic cells, and macrophages). In initial stage of infection, person may not notice any symptoms or experience a brief period of influenza-like illness. As the infection progresses, it interferes more with the immune system, makes it harder and harder for the body to fight off infections and some other diseases. Opportunistic infections or cancers take advantage of a very weak immune system and signal that the person has AIDS. The loss of CD4 cells makes it difficult for the body to fight infections and certain cancers. HIV can gradually destroy the immune system and advance to AIDS if it is not treated with drugs.
