HIV stands for human
immunodeficiency virus, which is the virus that causes
HIV infection. The abbreviation “HIV” can refer to the
virus or to HIV infection.
AIDS stands for acquired
immunodeficiency syndrome. AIDS is the most advanced
stage of HIV Without treatment, HIV can gradually
destroy the immune system and advance to AIDS.
How is HIV spread?
HIV is spread through
contact with certain body fluids from a person infected
with HIV.
Soon after infection with
HIV, some people have flu-like symptoms, such as fever,
headache, or rash. The symptoms may come and go for a
month or two after infection.
After this earliest stage
of HIV infection, HIV continues to multiply but at very
low levels. More severe symptoms of HIV infection, such
as chronic diarrhea, rapid weight loss, and other signs
of opportunistic infections, generally don’t appear for
many years. (Opportunistic infections are infections and
infection-related cancers that occur more frequently or
are more severe in people with weakened immune systems
than in people with healthy immune systems.)
