Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a group of symptoms that are caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). The Virus is passed person to person by close personal/ Intimate contact. Sex, contact with blood, Transfusion's etc.

The Virus can degrade the human immune response & make it's victims very susceptible to other disease & common illnesses. Once weakened the body often dies from common Cancers & Pneumonia. not FROM THE HIV VIRUS ITSELF.
