What is HIV?

HIV or Human Immunodeficiency Virus is a virus that attacks the body's immune system and weakens it so much that our body is unable to resist any other infection or disease. At the same time, once infected with this virus, if it is not controlled in time, it becomes the cause of AIDS. Let us tell you that there is no concrete treatment for AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) yet. In such a situation, identification of this virus in time and proper treatment becomes very important.
