Copyright 2018 Medical News TodayHuman immunodeficiency virus or HIV, is the virus that causes AIDS. AIDS is the final stage of HIV infection, when your body can no longer fight life-threatening infections. HIV attacks the immune system and weakens your ability to fight infections and disease. There is no cure for HIV, but there are treatments to enable most people with the virus to live a long and healthy life. The best way to prevent HIV is to use a condom for sex and never share needles or other injecting equipment.http://www.medicalnewstoday.comadmin@medicalnewstoday.com (MNT Admin)editors@medicalnewstoday.com (MNT Editors)en-us Tue, 17 Apr 2018 07:00:00 PDThttps://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/321524.phphttps://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/321524.phpA study suggests that a vaginal implant with drugs that keep T cells unresponsive and inaccessible to HIV may offer a new way to reduce transmission.HIV / AIDS Mon, 26 Mar 2018 08:00:00 PDThttps://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/321321.phphttps://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/321321.phpRegardless of whether you've just received an HIV diagnosis or been living with the condition for years, HIV blogs offer useful information and support.HIV / AIDS Thu, 22 Mar 2018 03:00:00 PDThttps://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/321282.phphttps://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/321282.phpA study has unraveled the structure of a protein that fuels drug resistance in feline immunodeficiency virus.
