एचआईवी यानी ह्युमन इम्युनोडेफिशिएंसी वायरस एक ऐसा वायरस है जो मनुष्य की प्रतिरक्षा प्रणाली को प्रभावित करता है। चूंकि यह वायरस प्रतिरक्षा प्रणाली पर ही हमला करता है इसलिए हमारी प्रतिरक्षा प्रणाली इस वायरस के खिलाफ रक्षात्मक प्रतिक्रिया करने में सक्षम नहीं है। इसका यह अर्थ है कि एचआईवी से पीड़ित व्यक्ति अन्य संक्रमणों और बीमारियों के प्रति अधिक संवेदनशील होता है।

The acronym for 'Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome' is AIDS. In fact, it must be understood that AIDS is not a singular disease, but a syndrome, or rather a set of diseases.

Some of the major symptoms of AIDS are:
Lethargy and fatigue
