What is the cause to AIDS?

AIDS or its specific name called Acquired deficiency syndrome or acquired

immunodeficiency syndrome is a syndrome caused by a virus which known as HIV or its
specific names human immunodeficiency virus. So, the illness alters the immune system, and
start making people much more influenced to infections and diseases.
From the view of human biological the virus enters the immune system's CD4 cells, which
protect the body against various bacteria, viruses and other gems. The CD4 cells are then
used to make thousands of copies of the virus. These copies then leave the CD4 cells, killing
them in the progress.
Both the virus and the syndrome are often referred to together as HIV/AIDS. People with
HIV have what is called HIV infection. As a result, some will then develop AIDS. The
development of numerous opportunistic infections in an AIDS patient can ultimately lead to
death.
As the virus starts to multiply the CD4 cell count thus decreases dramatically. HIV infection
takes nearly 10 years or more to manifest into full blown AIDS case. To become infected with
HIV, infected blood, semen or vaginal secretions must enter your body. Human can't become
infected through ordinary contact hugging, kissing, dancing or shaking hands with someone
who has HIV or AIDS.
HIV can't be transmitted through the air, water or insect bites but here are the causes which
are can be effect to human:

By having sex. You may become infected if you have vaginal, anal or oral sex with an
infected partner whose blood, semen or vaginal secretions enter your body. The virus
can enter your body through mouth sores or small tears that sometimes develop in the
rectum or vagina during sexual activity.
From blood transfusions. In some cases, the virus may be transmitted through blood
transfusions. American hospitals and blood banks now screen the blood supply for
HIV antibodies, so this risk is very small.
By sharing needles. HIV can be transmitted through needles and syringes
contaminated with infected blood. Sharing intravenous drug paraphernalia puts you at
high risk of HIV and other infectious diseases, such as hepatitis.
During pregnancy or delivery or through breast-feeding. Infected mothers can infect
their babies. But by receiving treatment for HIV infection during pregnancy, mothers
significantly lower the risk to their babies.
