    Immunization involves developing immunity, which can occur naturally through contact with a disease-causing agent, or artificially through vaccination. Vaccination is a form of active immunity that uses vaccines to expose the body to an antigen in a controlled way. Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) which attacks T-cells and compromises the immune system, leaving the infected person susceptible to common and serious diseases.

    To control spread of disease


    Immunity
    • Natural immunity occurs through contact with
    a disease causing agent, when the contact was
    not deliberate, where as artificial immunity
    develops only through deliberate actions of
    exposure.

    AIDS and Retroviruses
    • AIDS – Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome is caused by the
    Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
    • HIV is a retrovirus…it attacks cells lymphocytes (white blood
    cells) and it infects T-Cells to replicate itself.
    • Because the immune system is compromised, the infected
    person is susceptible to common diseases such as the flu and
    can develop more serious diseases like pneumonia and cancer.
