HIV
Jets to wirus, który wywołuje AIDS. HIV różni się większości innych wirusów, ponieważ atakuje układ odpornościowy.
This is the virus that causes AIDS. HIV is different from most other viruses because it attacks the immune system. The immune system gives our bodies the ability to fight infections. HIV finds and destroys a type of white blood cell (T cells or CD4 cells) that the immune system must have to fight disease.

Anatomia AIDS wirus
Aids
Aids (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) jest stadium końcowym choroby infekcyjnej, spowodowanej przez wirus HIV.
AIDS is the final stage of HIV infection. It can take years for a person infected with HIV, even without treatment, to reach this stage. Having AIDS means that the virus has weakened the immune system to the point at which the body has a difficult time fighting infections. When someone has one or more of these infections and a low number of T cells, he or she has AIDS.
