AIDS is a disease that emerged in Central and Southern Africa in the early 1980s, and its effect is increasing with each passing year, reaching frightening dimensions. The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is the causative agent of AIDS, known as the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. HIV disrupts the structure of white blood cells in the immune system, causing a decrease in the number of white blood cells and neutralizing the body's resistance to infections.
