Term AIDS actually means Acquired immune deficiency syndrome. It’s a disease of immune system of human body. It’s caused by HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) but it’s much more difficult disease than the HIV infection is. HIV attacks large number of cells in human body. Body becomes very weak and it can’t defend itself like it would in health state. So, then comes AIDS and destroys all cells in our body. There are numerous symptoms of HIV and AIDS.

AIDS is sexually transmitted. This is most common way of getting infected. Although people can get infected by being in touch some way with blood of AIDS patients. So, you have to be very careful.

AIDS patients can live up to 15 years or more. There is no something like straight rule in determining duration of life of AIDS infected people. It depends on numerous factors – in what stadium HIV infection is discovered, what reaction has human body on medicaments, sex pole, ages, and other individual factors.

So, you need to remember this: AIDS is one of the most difficult diseases that destroy human antibodies (that usually defend human organism from various infections). AIDS cannot be cured. So take a good “look” at person with who you planning to have sex, and use condoms. AIDS is one way ticket to death.

I said that you have to be carefully, but that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t shake your hands with AIDS patients. They are humans, so we must act human with them.
