HIV and AIDS

HIV and AIDS

AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Disease Syndrome) may well be the worst health crisis humans have witnessed in centuries. While science has made some nearly miraculous advances in treating human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection (the cause of AIDS), in the past dozen years, the disease continues to sicken and kill millions of people around the world.
