    HIV is a viral pathogen that can be transmitted through contact with infected bodily fluids like blood, semen, or breast milk. While HIV does not initially cause symptoms, it attacks and destroys CD4+ T cells over time weakening the immune system and progressing to AIDS without treatment. As the immune system deteriorates due to HIV destroying CD4+ T cells, opportunistic infections or cancers take advantage and signal the development of AIDS.
