AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) and HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) are both serious health conditions that affect the immune system. HIV is the virus that causes AIDS, and if left untreated, HIV can progress to AIDS over time. AIDS is the most severe stage of HIV infection and is characterized by a severely weakened immune system, making individuals vulnerable to infections and certain cancers. Treatment for HIV has improved significantly over the years, allowing many individuals with the virus to live long and healthy lives. It is important to practice safe sex and get tested regularly for HIV to prevent transmission and ensure early diagnosis and treatment.
