HIV causes AIDS - Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome

HIV causes AIDS - Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. This is the advanced stage of HIV. In this stage, the person suffering from AIDS is openly susceptible to dangerous diseases and eventually loses his/her life. HIV AIDS is spread through the exchange of bodily fluids like blood, vaginal fluids, semen, breast milk. If a person suffering from HIV has unprotected sex with another person, he/she will pass on the disease, i.e., it is a sexually transmitted disease. A mother can transfer this disease to her baby during pregnancy and while breast feeding. People may contact HIV by blood transfusions. Using the same injection needle is also another way to pass HIV from one person to another. Unfortunately, this has become an epidemic with millions of people succumbing to this disease every year. If the people understand the symptoms, they might prevent the disease from spreading. The below mentioned paragraphs will concentrate on the early symptoms of HIV.
