HIV/AIDS: Causes, Symptoms and Treatments. AIDS (Acquired immune deficiency syndrome or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) is a syndrome caused by a virus called HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). The illness alters the immune system, making people much more vulnerable to infections and diseases. This susceptibility worsens as the syndrome progresses.
AIDS is not a disease per se but rather the stage of HIV infection where the body's immune system is severely compromised. Technically, AIDS is defined by either a CD4 count of under 200 cells per microliter (ÂµL) or by the diagnosis of a so-called AIDS defining illness.
