Dear Mary What is the difference between HIVand AIDS

HIV (Human Immunodefi ciency Virus) is a virus. You may hear that someone is
HIV infected, has HIV infection, or has HIV disease. These are all terms that mean the
person has HIV in his or her body and can pass the virus to other people.

HIV attacks the body’s immune system. The immune system protects the body
from infections and disease, but has no clear way to protect it from HIV. Without
treatment, most people infected with HIV become less able to fi ght off the germs
that we are exposed to every day. Many of these germs do not usually make a
healthy person sick, but they can cause life-threatening infections and cancers in
a person whose immune system has been weakened by HIV. HIV treatments can
slow this process and allow people with HIV to live longer, healthier lives .

People infected with HIV may have no symptoms for ten or more years. They may
not know they are infected. An HIV test is the only way to fi nd out if you have HIV.
AIDS (Acquired Immune Defi ciency Syndrome) is a late stage of HIV diseas. A person
with HIV infection has AIDS when he or she:
• has a CD4 cell count (a way to measure the strength of the immune system)
that falls below 200. A normal CD4 cell count is 500 or higher.
OR
• develops any of the specific, serious conditions – also called AIDS-defining
illnesses – that are linked with HIV infection.
