AIDS- attacks the body’s immune system, leaving victims unable to fight off even the mildest infections.
While HIV can be transmitted by other means, sexual contact is the most common means of transmission.
Women who are infected with HIV can pass the virus to their infants during pregnancy, childbirth or, less frequently, in breast milk.
Treatment options -for people infected with HIV include protease inhibitors, which can markedly increase survival.
