Yes. HIV, is a virus, which attacks vitals cells in the body's immune system (CD4 T cells), which the body eventually cannot replace. Once there are a low number of these vital cells in the body, the immune system can no longer sustain resistance to infections and malignancies, at this point, the HIV virus has progressed to AIDS or Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.

The HIV virus is acquired or contracted, virus, which causes an immune system deficiency as opposed to an Immune System deficiency which develops due to a Congenital defect, direct or indirect.
