What type of pathogen is HIV caused by?
"Pathogen" means something that causes sickness (path- = suffering, gen- = creation). "HIV" stands for "Human Immunodeficiency Virus," which is a virus which sometimes, in time, causes the disease AIDS ("Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome"). In other words, HIV is the pathogen, and being infected by HIV is the cause of the disease AIDS.The best ways to avoid being infected by HIV is never ever to share needles for drugs, and never ever to have penetrative sex without a condom. If you steer clear of those, as long as you live in part of the world where HIV isn't endemic, you are likely safe from HIV.There is no cure for HIV infection or AIDS, but there are very effective treatments.
