AIDs Quiz Questions and Answers
Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a disease caused by HIV. In that condition, a human’s immune system is too weak to protect against any sickness or infection. AIDS is usually the last stage of HIV infection when the patient can no longer defend himself and thus spreads various diseases. When AIDS remains unattended, it causes death.
World AIDS Vaccine Day, also known as HIV Vaccine Awareness Day, is observed on May 18 every year to celebrate the progress made toward developing a vaccine for HIV/AIDS.
