You get the HIV virus from semen. HIV is the virus which causes AIDS. It passes from one person to another through having sex, or by sharing drug needles. When a new person gets HIV the virus gradually multiplies in the body (unless it is stopped with medication). AIDS is more like a weakness of the immune system. If the HIV virus load is very high in a person, then it is easy for them to catch pneumonia and other diseases. For a fit person these diseases are easily cured, but for a person with this weak immune system they are very dangerous and can be fatal.
