HIV is a virus that once contracted begins to affect the body's immune system. This will eventually destroy a person's immune system, leaving them unable to fight off infections. When this occurs, the person is said to have AIDS.
HIV/AIDS has a negative impact on health. It is a slow-acting virus, meaning that it will take years before the full scope of the damage is seen.
