HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) attacks the immune system and, if left untreated, can lead to AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome). While there is no cure, modern antiretroviral therapy (ART) allows people with HIV to live long, healthy lives and reduces the risk of transmission. Regular testing, safe practices, and early treatment are key to prevention and management.
