What is AIDS?

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a virus that targets the immune system of the body. AIDS can develop if HIV is not treated (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome).

When a person's CD4 count goes below a certain threshold, they are diagnosed with AIDS.

Helper T cells are essential for immune system function and get activated when antigens from disease-causing bacteria are encountered. Antigens are biological markers that distinguish bacteria and viruses from one another.
