What are HIV and AIDS?

What are HIV and AIDS?



HIV is a virus which attacks the human immune system, the body's defence against disease. A person with HIV may feel completely well and have no symptoms.

In time, a person with HIV may develop particular rare illnesses or cancers because their immune system is weakened. When this happens, the person is said to have AIDS.
