About this document
Understanding HIV and AIDS Basics by Ferdinand Espejo is a document available to read on EtoBox.
HIV, or human immunodeficiency virus, attacks and destroys immune system cells, leading to AIDS, the most severe stage of HIV infection characterized by a significantly weakened immune system. HIV can be transmitted through bodily fluids and can affect anyone, though certain populations are at higher risk due to social and economic barriers. While there is no cure for HIV, antiretroviral therapy (ART) can effectively manage the virus and prevent progression to AIDS.
