HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a virus that attacks the body’s immune system and impairs its function. The infected individuals gradually become immunodeficient. Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is the most severe phase of HIV infection.

These people have such a badly damaged immune systems that they get an increasing number of severe illnesses, called opportunistic infections. HIV can be transmitted via exchange of a variety of body fluids from infected people, such as blood, breast milk, semen and vaginal secretions.

HIV can also be transmitted from a mother to her child during pregnancy and delivery. The ordinary day-to-day contact such as kissing, hugging, shaking hands, or sharing food or water doesn’t cause transmission of this virus.
