HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that attacks your immune system. Over time your immune system may grow weak and you can become sick with different illnesses.

Eventually, your immune system will no longer be able to defend your body from infections, diseases or cancers that can kill you. This advanced stage of the HIV disease is called AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). (Source: Canadian Health Network)
