AIDS, also known as Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, is a sexually transmitted disease characterized by severe immunodeficiency caused by the infection of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus, or HIV. HIV invades the human immune system, causing a decline or even loss of immune function, ultimately leading to death due to severe infections or tumors. Therefore, its mortality rate is extremely high, and there are no effective treatments.
