Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a complex condition caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). It weakens the immune system, making the body vulnerable to various infections and diseases. AIDS is transmitted through bodily fluids such as blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and breast milk. Early symptoms may include fever, fatigue, and swollen lymph nodes, but the virus can remain asymptomatic for years. There is currently no cure for AIDS, but antiretroviral therapy (ART) can effectively manage the virus and prolong life expectancy. Prevention strategies include practicing safe sex, using clean needles, and getting tested regularly. Education and awareness are crucial in combating the spread of AIDS.
