Aids AIDS stands for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

In fact, in a very large University of California at Berkeley study it was shown that those with the slowest disease progression had a level of nutrients not achievable by diet alone—in other words, the people who did the best over time were using nutrient supplements. Many other studies done over the years have shown a high level of nutrient deficiencies in HIV disease, and many positive benefits of higher levels of nutrients in people living with HIV/AIDS.

AIDS stands for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

AIDS is the final stage of HIV infection. It can take years for a person infected with HIV, even without treatment, to reach this stage. Having AIDS means that the virus has weakened the immune system to the point at which the body has a difficult time fighting infections. When someone has one or more of these infections and a low number of T cells, he or she has AIDS.
