The HIV virus or human immunodeficicency virus is the causative organism for AIDS. AIDS stands for acquired immune deficiency syndrome.

The HIV virus spreads when a healthy person has unprotected, sexual contact with an infected person. This virus can also spread by using or sharing contaminated needles and syringes, or through blood transfusion of infected blood. Similarly, a pregnant or lactating mother can pass on the infection to the fetus through the placenta or while breast feeding the child. With many antiviral treatments now available in the market, the number of deaths caused due to HIV infection is reduced considerably.
