HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a virus that attacks the immune system, the body's natural defense system. Without a strong immune system, the body has trouble fighting off disease. Both the virus and the infection it causes are called HIV. White blood cells are an important part of the immune system.
HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a contagious, deadly virus that is spread through blood, blood products, and other body fluids, such as semen. Early symptoms of HIV infection include cough, body aches, headaches, nasal congestion, sore throat, and cough. Some people have no early symptoms at all and may appear healthy. However, untreated HIV infection is connected to many diseases, including heart disease, kidney disease, liver disease, and cancer. HIV infection can lead to AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome).
