AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is not a stage of HIV infection, but rather a diagnosis given to an HIV+ person who has reached a certain level of decreased immune function. The AIDS diagnosis is based on the health of a person's immune system, not the amount of virus in the body.
Advanced stage of HIV infection is AIDS.
HIV is the beginning stage to AIDS. The introduction of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is what starts the condition. A human can carry this virus for up to 12 years (or longer with treatment) and eventually it will manifest as Acquired Immunodeficiency Sydrome (AIDS). HIV and AIDS are the same virus infection, where HIV presence is the first stage.
AIDs is the forth stage of HIV Infection.The four stages Of HIV are:Primary HIV InfectionAsymptomatic HIVSymptomatic HIVAcquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome
HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. AIDS is the final stage of HIV disease.
HIV is the virus that causes AIDS whereas AIDS is the end result of the virus after the immune system is destroyed, and therefore HIV will precede AIDS.
You catch HIV first because HIV is the virus that causes AIDS.
AIDS is what you get when you have the HIV virus, its the next stage of the virus and that will kill you so once you get AIDS that's it, there is no cure and no treatment for AIDS. There is treatment for HIV and Magic Johnson is the first person that i have ever heard of that announced that he had the HIV virus 15 years ago and never got AIDS but he took these drugs and it stopped him from getting AIDS but he will always have the HIV virus.
Not necessarily. HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the virus that can lead to AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) if left untreated. AIDS is the final stage of HIV infection in which the immune system is severely compromised.
HIV is a harmful virus. The end stage of HIV infection is AIDS.
HIV can be transmitted from mother to child. It can also be trasmitted through sexual contact or shared needles. Just huggibg or kissing someone with HIV will not give you it. AIDS is an advanced stage of HIV.
Technically, they are the same things. HIV is what you have when you have more than 200 t cells still in your body. Once you have less than 200 t cells, you are classified as having AIDS. So technically, yes, AIDS is worse than HIV, as HIV is only the beginning stage.
