HIV has severe consequences to human health.
The HIV virus destroys the body's ability to defend itself by attacking the cells of the immune system that are responsible for fighting off pathogens.
As HIV virus cells multiply, and at the same time destroy the cells that protect us, the body is not able to fight off infections. This is how we become sick.
In time, the immune system will be rendered essentially non-functional. AIDS patients invariably develop a number of conditions termed "opportunistic infections." Among them are:
- Kaposi's sarcoma- a type of cancer
- Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia- a type of lung infection or pneumonia
- Thrush- a fungal infection that presents in the mouth
- Toxoplasmosis- a parasitic infection that can affect the brain
If the body is overwhelmed by diseases, and the medications that we have available fail to work, the person will ultimately succumb to illness and die.
