Dr.seshagirirao,vandana.MBBS
HIV stands for the Human Immuno-deficiency Virus. This is a virus that people can become infected with and that they can then pass on to other people. Aids disease was first detected in America in 1981. A France scientist detected the Aids Virus in 1983, and named it as HIV in1984. First It is said to be transmitted from African race monkeys to humans, probably by the way of Bestiality.
When someone becomes infected with HIV it begins to attack their immune system which is the body's defense against illness. This process is not visible.
A person infected with HIV may look and feel perfectly well for many years and they may not know that they are infected. Then as the person's immune system weakens they become vulnerable to illnesses, many of which they would normally fight off.
When a person is infected with HIV they are likely, as time goes by, to be ill more and more often. A person is said to have AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) when, usually several years after first becoming infected with HIV, they have developed one of a number of ,particularly, severe illnesses. It takes about 5 to 10 years.
