Acquired immune deficiency syndrome. Caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) which kills or damages cells of the body's immune system by progressively destroying the body's ability to fight infections and certain cancers. People diagnosed with AIDS may get life-threatening diseases called opportunistic infections, which are caused by microbes such as viruses or bacteria that usually do not make healthy people sick.

the late stage of HIV disease, characterized by a deterioration of the immune system and a susceptibility to a range of opportunistic infections and cancers. ALVAC-HIV(tm): a genetically engineered HIV vaccine composed of a live, weakened canarypox virus (ALVAC(tm)) into which parts of genes for non-infectious components of HIV have been inserted. When ALVAC(tm) infects a human cell, the inserted HIV genes direct the cell to make HIV proteins. These proteins are packaged into HIV-like particles that bud from the cell membrane. These particles are not infectious but fool the immune system into mounting an immune response to HIV. ALVAC(tm) can infect but not grow in human cells, an important safety feature. (See also canarypox.)

acquired immune deficiency syndrome. This disease is caused by the retrovirus known as HIV. The modes of transmission are sexual (vaginal fluids, semen), blood or blood products, and perinatal transmission from an infected mother to the foetus or to the newborn at birth. Infection results in progressive immune deficiency.

Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. A disorder of immunity characterised by abnormalities of immunoregulation and opportunistic infections.

Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. An immune system deficiency disorder that suddenly alters the body's ability to defend itself. The AIDS virus invades the T4 helper/inducer lymphocytes and multiplies, causing a breakdown in the body's immune system, eventually leading to overwhelming infection and/or cancer, with ultimate death.

A deficiency of the immune system due to infection with HIV (human immunodeficiency virus). In its present form, AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) appears to be new to the human population. As yet, there is no curative treatment and no vaccine for AIDS, but the symptoms and complications variably respond to antibiotics, antiviral agents, radiations therapy, and anticancer drugs. Once AIDS has been diagnosed, the condition is considered fatal.

Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome -- a condition caused by a virus called HIV which attacks and weakens the body's immune (defence) system making it a target for infections and diseases. HIV is usually passed on through unprotected vaginal intercourse, unprotected anal intercourse, or sharing intravenous drug needles or syringes. There is no cure for AIDS, but it can be prevented by practising safer sex. Safer sex can mean cuddling, kissing, petting, massage and mutual masturbation, or using a condom during sexual intercourse.

Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. A collection of specific illnesses and conditions which occur because the body's immune system has been damaged by HIV.

(Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) chronic infection with human immunodeficiency virus HIV. The function of certain cell types of the immune system is altered. Therefore, AIDS patients have a compromised immune system.

Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. A medical condition where the immune system cannot function properly and protect the body from disease. As a result, the body cannot defend itself against infections (like pneumonia). Aids is caused by the Human Immunodifiency Virus (HIV). This virus is spread through direct contact with the blood and body fluids of an infected individual. High-risk activities include unprotected sexual intercourse and intravenous drug use (sharing needles). There is no cure for AIDS; however, research efforts are on going to develop a vaccine.

Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. A disease of the human immune system that is caused by HIV infection. The infection is transmitted in blood and bodily secretion and can become life threatening.(infectious disease, preventing it, fights, on it, hampered)

AIDS is a measure of how much damage HIV has done to a person's immune system. It is not a disease. AIDS can develop after someone gets HIV. After HIV has been inside someone's body for a long time it can weaken or destroy their immune system. The immune system can't fight germs any more. They get different diseases or illnesses, also called opportunistic infections. Sometimes a doctor can still find that a healthy person with HIV has AIDS.

This disease hurts the immune system, (the body’s way of protecting itself), so that it becomes easy to get dangerous infections and cancers. It is caused by the HIV infection. Learn more about HIV and AIDS.

An infection due to HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) that severely damages the immune system.

stands for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Over time, HIV damages the immune system and can cause "AIDS". Certain infections or cancers that are very serious are "AIDS defining"; in addition a CD4200 is considered "AIDS-defining"

The late stage of the illness triggered by infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). According to the official definition published by the CDC, a person receives an AIDS diagnosis when he or she has a CD4 (helper T-cell) count of less that 200 and/or certain opportunistic infections common with advanced immune deficiency.

(Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) a fatal condition caused by a virus which leaves the patient unable to fight new infections

Acquired immune deficiency syndrome, a disease caused by a virus that damages the body's immune system, thereby destroying its ability to fight off illness.

AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. Acquired means you can get infected with it; Immune Deficiency means a weakness in the body's system that fights diseases. Syndrome means a group of health problems that make up a disease. AIDS is caused by a virus called HIV, the Human Immunodeficiency Virus. AIDS is usually contracted through an exchange of body fluids. Being HIV-positive, or having HIV disease, is not the same as having AIDS. Many people are HIV-positive but don't get sick for many years. As HIV disease continues, it slowly wears down the immune system. Viruses, parasites, fungi and bacteria that usually don't cause any problems can make you very sick if your immune system is damaged. These are called "opportunistic infections". There have been instances of bodybuilders who have contracted AIDS because they shared needles for anabolic steroids. For more information on AIDS please see: Flame of Hope.

Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. The most severe manifestation of infection with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) lists numerous opportunistic infections and neoplasms (cancers) that, in the presence of HIV infection, constitute an AIDS diagnosis. In 1993, CDC expanded the criteria for an AIDS diagnosis to include CD4+ T-cell count at or below 200 cells per microliter in the presence of HIV infection. In persons (age 5 and older) with normally functioning immune systems, CD4+ T-cell counts usually range from 500-1,500 cells per microliter.

AIDS stands for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. It is a sexually transmitted disease caused by infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). AIDS is a disease characterized by a loss of immune function, usually over several years, which means the HIV-infected person can transmit HIV to sexual partners before he or she feels ill. In addition to transmission between sexual partners, HIV may be transmitted from an infected mother to her unborn child, from a mother to her newborn infant through breastmilk, and between individuals who share needles when injecting drugs. Known effective methods of preventing the sexual transmission of HIV/AIDS include abstinence, maintaining a mutually monogamous relationship (each person in a couple has only the other person as a sexual partner), and using condoms with every act of intercourse.
