What is HIV?

HIV is a virus that kills CD4 cells which bring immunity to the body. The virus destroys and replicates the white blood cells. Your body immunity weakens, making it harder to fight other infections. Without treatment, HIV damages your immune system severely within 15 years. The rate of progress for HIV depends on your general body health. Taking antiretroviral drugs would prolong your life.
