*What is AIDS?
AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. This is seen in poeple infected by the HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus).
Over time, infection with HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) can weaken the immune system to the point that the system has difficulty fighting off certain infections.
*What is the Difference Between HIV and AIDS?
A positive HIV test does not mean that a person has AIDS. HIV is the organism that leads to AIDS.
*How long does it take for HIV to cause AIDS?
The time between HIV infection and the appearance of signs that could lead to an AIDS diagnosis is 8-11 years. Early detection offers more options for treatment and preventative health care.
* What are the Symptoms of HIV?
Primary HIV infection is the first stage of HIV disease, when the virus first establishes itself in the body.
people newely infected with HIV have flu like symptoms.These symptoms, which usually last no more than a few days, might include fevers, chills, night sweats and rashes (not cold-like symptoms).
* What are the Symptoms of AIDS?
When immune system damage is more severe, people may experience opportunistic infections (called opportunistic because they are caused by organisms which cannot induce disease in people with normal immune systems, but take the "opportunity" to flourish in people with HIV).
