What is AIDS · 14 June 07

The term AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. This is the term used to describe the specific opportunistic infections and illness that occur as a result of a damaged or compromised immune system.

These infections are called opportunistic as they would normally be controlled by the immune system but because the immune system has been damaged they take the”opportunity “ to cause disease.

HIV has to be present for the progression and development of AIDS Your CD4 count is the most reliable guide to your risk of developing AIDS and you can get more information on this in the section HIV Health Info
