Answered step-by-step
HIV infection may lead to AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). HIV, or human immunodeficiency virus, progressively weakens the immune system by attacking and destroying CD4 T cells, which are essential for immune function. If left untreated, HIV can progress through various stages, ultimately resulting in AIDS, characterized by a severely compromised immune system and increased vulnerability to opportunistic infections and certain cancers.
