BACKGROUND OF STUDY

HIV is a virus:  virus infects the cells of living organism and replicate make new opines of themselves) within those cells.  A virus can damage the cells it replicates, in which one of the things that can make an infected creature is become ill. People can become infected with HIV from other people whom already have it, and when they are infected they can go on to infect other people.  Basically, this is how HIV is been spread.

HIV stand for the “Human Immune deficiency virus” some one whom is infected with HIV is said to be HIV + or HIV positive.  The immune system is a group of cells and organ that protect your body by fighting diseases.  The human system usually finds and kills virus quickly.  Different viruses attacked parts of the body, some may attack the skin.  Other the lung and so on.  A virus that causes the common cold. What makes HIV so dangerous is that it attack the immune system itself the very thing that would normally get rid of the virus. It particularly attacks a special type of immune system cell know as a CD4 lymphocyte.  HIV has number of tricks that help it to evade the body’s defense, including very rapidlutation.  This mean that once HIV has taken hold the immune – system can number get rid of it.  There isn’t any way a tell just by looking it HIV has infected some one.  However blood test can infection from a few weeks after the virus first entered the body.  A person infected with HIV may look and feel perfectly well for many years and may not know they care infected.  But as the person’s immune system weakens they become increasingly vulnerable to illness.  Many of which they would previously have fought off easily.
