AIDS-acquired immunodeficiency syndrome-is an immune system disease caused by the virus HIV. It gradually reduces the effectiveness of your immune system, leaving it susceptible to other infections. It's transmitted through a contaminated bodily fluid coming in contact with your bloodstream. Genetic research reveals that HIV originated in West-Central Africa in the late 1800s; the first case of AIDS was recognized in 1981.

Why has smallpox been eradicated but not AIDS?

Smallpox was eradicated due to the development of an effective vaccine, global collaboration, and targeted vaccination campaigns. In contrast, AIDS is caused by HIV, a virus that mutates rapidly, making it difficult to develop a single vaccine. Additionally, social factors such as stigma, lack of access to healthcare, and high cost of treatment hinder progress in eradicating AIDS.
