What is AIDS ?

AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is the final stage of the HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) infection. HIV attacks the immune system, gradually weakening it and making the body more susceptible to infections and diseases. If left untreated, HIV can progress to AIDS. At this stage, the immune system is severely damaged and the body is unable to fight off infections and diseases. AIDS is a life-threatening condition that requires ongoing medical care and treatment. However, with the right medical care and antiretroviral therapy, people with AIDS can live longer, healthier lives.
