A doctor has provided 1 answer
Advanced HIV infxn: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is the virus that causes progressive destruction of the immune system, which can lead to acquired immune deficiency syndrome (aids). As the immune system declines, a person can get one of 20+ opportunistic infections associated with aids. Hiv is spread through mainly unprotected sexual contact, sharing infected needles, or receiving infected blood products.
