HIV/AIDS
HIV/AIDS is a virus that causes the condition Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), that can multiply quickly and damage the body’s immune system. HIV destroys the lymphocyte cells, making it harder for your body to fight off other infections. Having HIV can be extremely distressing, even a minor infection, such as a common cold can be much more severe due to your body having a difficult time healing properly. The disease can lead to anxiety and depression which is why it is highly recommended that patients have a companion they can simply vent to. While no cure exists for HIV infection, treatment is available. It is essential for a person living with HIV/AIDS to maintain good health.
