| Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a lentivirus that attacks the immune system, specifically targeting CD4+ T cells, a type of white blood cell crucial for the body's defense against infections. HIV weakens the immune system over time, making individuals more susceptible to various infections and diseases. If left untreated, HIV infection can progress to Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), a late stage of HIV infection characterized by severe immunodeficiency and the occurrence of opportunistic infections or cancers. |
