AIDS
Acquired immune deficiency syndrome or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS or Aids) is a
collection of symptoms and infections resulting from the specific damage to the
immune system caused by the
human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in humans, and similar viruses in other species (
SIV,
FIV, etc.). The late stage of the condition leaves individuals susceptible to
opportunistic infections and
tumors. Although treatments for AIDS and HIV exist to decelerate the
virus' progression, there is currently no known cure. HIV, et al., are
transmitted through direct contact of a
mucous membrane or the bloodstream with a
bodily fluid containing HIV, such as
blood,
semen,
vaginal fluid,
preseminal fluid, and
breast milk. This transmission can come in the form of
anal,
vaginal or
oral sex,
blood transfusion, contaminated
hypodermic needles, exchange between mother and baby during
pregnancy,
childbirth, or
breastfeeding, or other exposure to one of the above bodily fluids.

AIDS (av ”acquired immune deficiency syndrome”, på svenska ”förvärvat immunbristsyndrom”) är en dödlig
sjukdom som kännetecknas av svåra skador på
immunförsvaret, vilket medför att den drabbade är extremt känslig för
infektioner. Aids orsakas av humant immunbristvirus,
hiv, och utgör slutstadiet av en hivinfektion.
