HIV/AIDS is a viral infection that attacks the body's immune system, making the infected person vulnerable to opportunistic infections and diseases. There are two types of HIV, HIV-1 and HIV-2, with HIV-1 found worldwide and HIV-2 found mostly in West Africa. The virus can be transmitted through human contact, and symptoms are not present in the early stages of infection. As the virus progresses, it damages the immune system, leading to AIDS, which is an advanced stage of HIV infection and a collection of opportunistic infections that occur when the body's immune system does not work properly.
