The intrinsic layer of the PIN diode is a layer without doping, and as a result this increases the size of the depletion region - the region between the P and N layers where there are no majority carriers. This change in the structure gives the PIN diode its unique properties.
Be aware of possible complications. By weakening your immune system, HIV can leave you vulnerable to certain cancers and infections. These infections are called opportunistic because they take the opportunity to attack you when your immune system is weak.
Untreated, HIV reduces the number of CD4 cells (T cells) in the body. This damage to the immune system makes it harder and harder for the body to fight off infections and some other diseases. Opportunistic infections or cancers take advantage of a very weak immune system and signal that the person has AIDS. Learn more about the stages of HIV and how to know whether youâre infected. What Is HIV? HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. It is the virus that can lead to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, or AIDS, if not treated. Unlike some other viruses, the human body canât get rid of HIV completely, even with treatment.
