Abstract
Infection with HIV destroys the immune system and causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Death results from common bacterial and opportunistic infections that are rare in persons with a healthy immune system. HIV infection frequently is a fatal sexually transmitted disease that can also be transmitted from an infected mother to her offspring.Entities:
