What kind of disease is AIDS?

Answer 1

HIV is Human immunodeficiency virus it is an RNA virus which attacks the CD4 cell of Humans and use the genetic materials of the to make copies of itslf thus weakening the immune system of the infected person. AIDs is the disease manifestation of HIV when the immune system has been weakened and the body is susceptible to attack for otherwise harmless organisms (opportunistic infections). It is characterized by a myriad of diffectent infections and refereed to as syndrome. Symptoms of HIV include lymphadenopathy, fever, wt loss, weakness etc AIDS- cryptococcal meningitis, oral oseophageal thrush, pneumocystic carinii, karposi sarcoma, severe weight loss, fever of unknown etiology, toxoplasmosis. HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. It is a sexually transmitted disease, which means it is transmitted through contact between mucus membranes (mouth, genitals) or mixing body fluids (semen, blood). It is the virus that causes AIDS by attacking a certain type of cell in the immune system, weakening and debilitating it. AIDS is the sickness that follows infection with the virus, and it stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. With a weakened immune system, HIV will become AIDS, and the patient has a severely weakened immune system and becomes unable to fight off even the smallest of infections - a cold could be fatal. Currently, there are many drug therapies available to greatly prolong and improve the lives of those with HIV and AIDS. HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus.

Answer 3

HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. It is a virus that attacks your immune system (body's natural defense system) which are your white blood cells, specifically, CD4+ cells. The virus & the infections that it causes are consider HIV.

AIDS stands for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. It is consider the final stage where you have a low number of CD4+ cells. At this stage you can easily get infections or cancers then a healthy person would. Just because you have HIV does not mean you have AIDS.

Answer 4

AIDS is a viral infection caused by HIV. It suppresses the immune system so that the body doesn't fight it off. It is transmitted through unprotected sexual intercourse, oral and anal sex. It can be transmitted from mother to child while the child is still in the uterus, through delivery and during breastfeeding. Blood carries the virus. There is no vaccine, but some drugs do help slow the virus.
