| | HIV, AIDS and the Immune System |
 | | There are very limited data to date; but, those individuals who have had HIV for a really long time, but have not yet acquired AIDS (there are indeed now a number of such individuals), appear to have their immune response shifted towards the cytotoxic side (Th1 help). | | | The virus responsible for the condition known as AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome), is named HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). | | | We will examine the virus itself, the immune system, the specific effect(s) of HIV on the immune system, the research efforts presently being made to investigate this disease, and finally, how one can try to prevent acquiring HIV. |

| | Meanwhile, if the infection is not detected and treated, the immune system gradually weakens and AIDS develops. | | | Although this is not a cure for HIV, and people on HAART with suppressed levels of HIV can still transmit the virus to others through sex or sharing of needles, the treatment shows great promise. | | | See the article on safe sex to learn how to reduce the chance of acquiring or spreading HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases. |
