<s>[INST] What is HIV? [/INST] HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. This is the virus that causes AIDS. This virus may be passed from one person to another when infected blood, semen, or vaginal secretions come in contact with an uninfected person’s broken skin or mucous membranes (including the mouth, eyes, nasal passages, vagina, rectum, and opening of the penis). In addition, infected pregnant women can pass HIV to their baby during pregnancy or delivery, as well as through breast-feeding. People with HIV have what is called HIV infection. Some of these people will develop AIDS as a result of their HIV infection. Source: OEPS. Link: https://oeps.wv.gov/hiv-aids/pages/hiv-aids_faq.aspx. Field: Infectious Disease. Disease: HIV </s>
