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.
Once someone is infected with HIV, the number of their CD4 cells continues to decrease. HIV is actively copying itself and killing CD4 cells from the time the infection starts. Eventually, the number of CD4 cells drops below the threshold level needed to defend the body against infections, and the person develops AIDS. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 35 million people worldwide are living with HIV.
