HIV Basics. HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. It weakens a personâs immune system by destroying important cells that fight disease and infection. No effective cure exists for HIV. But with proper medical care, HIV can be controlled.
How AIDS develops. 1  The immune system is gradually disrupted. HIV kills cells in the lymph nodes (small glands filled with immune cells that trap foreign organisms) and in other sites. 2  Virus levels in the blood and the lymph nodes increase because the immune system cannot keep up with the amount of virus constantly produced. HIV constantly changes itself, avoiding attack by the antibodies and immune cells that normally control infections.
