The Human Immunodeficiency Virus is one of the most serious and deadly diseases.
It is a virus that attacks the immune system. The immune system is a network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to defend the body against viruses and diseases; some including bacteria, parasites, and fungi which causes infections. It is a chronic disease (long-lasting or recurrent). It weakens the immune system, which is more likely you to get infections and cancers.
When the body can no longer fight infection, HIV is known as AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome), which is a collection of illnesses. Someone infected with HIV can live many years without becoming ill or showing symptoms; the virus though, would still remain in the body damaging the immune system.
On average, it takes more than 10 years from the virus HIV to turn into AIDS.
