HOW HIV/AIDS KILLS. . .

                                     

The HIV/AIDS is a very deadly disease, this is a known fact, but there remains something that's still unknown to quite a good number of people, and that is how HIV/AIDS kill.

Have you ever wondered how HIV/AIDS kill?

Okay, let me go over this again, with a little addition. . .

The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infects cells of the immune system, destroying or impairing their function. Infection with this virus results in progressive deterioration of the immune system, leading to "immune deficiency."

The immune system is considered deficient when it can no longer fulfill its role of fighting infection and disease.

To make you understand this better. . .

In our bodies, there are many harmful micro-organisms, germs, bacteria, protozoa, fungi, and viruses. When our immune system is working well (not deficient), it helps to fight these germs. But when the immune system is weakened by HIV (or by some medications), these germs can get out of control and cause health problems.

In our previous post, "HOW CAN I TELL IF I HAVE HIV/AIDS?", we talked about the various stages of HIV infection, and its final stage, which is the progression to AIDS.

Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is the most advanced stage of HIV infection. It is defined by the occurrence of any opportunistic infections or HIV-related cancers.

The HIV virus itself does not cause death, but the opportunistic infections that occur, because of their effects on the immune system.

OPPORTUNISTIC INFECTIONS; WHAT ARE THEY?
