HIV and AIDS

HIV stands for Human Immune Virus, and AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Defficiency Syndrome.

HIV is not the direct cause of AIDS, but it is the virus that is able to cause AIDS, and is able to be transfered from one being to another, unlike AIDS.

A person can live with HIV for years without getting AIDS, but it is a matter of damage to the immune system that can cause AIDS. No one can directly die of AIDS, AIDS only makes it possible for treatable sicknesses like the common cold, the flu, pnomonia, and the chicken pox to kill. HIV and AIDS damage the immune system sometimes to the point of less than half the normal amount of white blood cells in the blood. When white blood cells do not fight normal sicknesses, the sicknesses damage you body enough to cause death.

There are many myths about how AIDS started when at first anyone could have sex any time, anyone could do drugs any time, and not have to pay for it. AIDS struck like the girls slap each other in the Bold and the Beautiful. But how? Was it from a science experiment that went wrong and was too secret to let out? Did someone really do a monkey? Was it a non-scientific happening from drug use?
