AIDS
AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) A disease of humans characterized by defective cell-mediated
immunity and increased susceptibility to infections. It is caused by the retrovirus
HIV (human immunodeficiency virus). This infects and destroys helper
T cells, which are essential for combating infections. HIV is transmitted in blood, semen, and vaginal fluid; the major routes of infection are unprotected vaginal and anal intercourse, intravenous drug abuse, and the administration of contaminated blood and blood products. A person infected with HIV is described as
HIV-positive; after the initial infection the virus can remain generally dormant for up to ten years before AIDS develops. A combination of
antiviral drugs, including reverse transcriptase inhibitors (e.g. zidovudine, lamivudine) and protease inhibitors, can delay the development of full-blown AIDS for many years.
