AIDS
18/10/2010
An acronym for the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, a disease spread through the exchange of bodily fluids, often through sex and the sharing of needles during drug use.
When HIV (+) positive, the disease attacks the sufferer’s immune system rendering them unable to fight off infections as a healthy HIV (-) negative person’s body would. The disease is as yet incurable, and a sufferer will eventually die after becoming ill with an infection such as a cold or bronchitis, which will eventually turn into pneumonia.
