HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is transmitted by contact with infected body fluid (blood, semen, vaginal fluid or breast milk.) HIV uses cells associated with immune function to replicate, rendering the cells ineffective at fighting disease. HIV is the virus that causes a person to develop AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.) AIDS is a diagnosis that is given to an HIV+ person when their immune function has reached a critically low point. After prolonged infection with HIV, a person is notably less able to fight infections.
