It affects your immune system, what happens is HIV only likes one particular cell in your immune system that is the T Cells (CD4 Cells) and it kills the T Cells off and the more T Cells that die from the virus the more likely you are to get other diseases, cancers, and illnesses. HIV affects the brain also, it can cause memory and cognitive issues regardless of CD4 count and viral load......HIV can also cause problems with balance and walking.......It is different wirh all people depending on the severity and progression. I unfortunatly suffer cognitive damage due to the disease...

No. Aids isn't actually a sickness, but hiv is. You can have hiv in your body in a long time (several years) without feeling sick or anything.
