HIV/AIDS: The Biggest Problem In The World Today – Detroit
Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). HIV and AIDS attack the immune system and often destroy its effectiveness. It leaves a person extremely vulnerable to infections and tumors that would otherwise have been handled by the natural functions of the immune system. It can sometimes be a bit misleading because people with HIV can die as a direct result of a different infection, but this infection would only have been possible because the virus disabled the immune system.
