AIDS FACTS

AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is a syndrome caused by the HIV virus.

It is when a person’s immune system is too weak to fight off many infections, and develops when the HIV infection is very advanced.

This is the last stage of HIV infection where the body can no longer defend itself and may develop various diseases, infections and if left untreated, death.

There is currently no cure for HIV or AIDS. However, with the right treatment and support, people can live long and healthy lives with HIV.
