If HIV and AIDS are two different diseases... why are they always talked about and related as one thing? |
I'm trying to research AIDS. I'm on AIDS.org and it keeps talking about HIV. They're not even the same thing. HIV is the VIRUS that causes AIDS. People start with having HIV and then will eventually will get AIDS. AIDS is the state where the immune system becomes very weak. People don't die from AIDS, but from a cold or something that they got from having a weak bodily defense HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. same virus. HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is the virus that causes AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome). b/c when you get hiv it leads to aids later in life i learned that in sex ed. HIV is the virus and AIDS is the disease caused by HIV! yeah what they said HIV turns into AIDS at a certain point. Although they are two different diseases, it's kind of like water. Hydrogen and oxygen are two different things but can't either one of them without the other. And water is the end result. HIV is a virus that a person contracts. A person can be an Olympic athlete-the pinnacle of health (with HIV) and not even know it. what i know is that HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. it is the virus that causes AIDS. if you acquire HIV, you become HIV-positive because you are positive for antibodies (against HIV) in your blood. it is possible to have HIV infection and still don't have AIDS. AIDS develops later in life when the body can no longer fight the virus and the immune system weakens. the body starts to acquire different kinds of diseases because of this lowered immune response. most of the time, people who have AIDS dies not because of HIV infection but with the different diseases they acquire when their bodies are not capable of fighting infections HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is the virus that causes AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) and is the predecessor to aids. There are people that get HIV without ever developing full blown AIDS but I have never heard of a case of AIDS that didn't start out with the HIV virus. |
