A quick definition of aids:
AIDS is a very serious illness that affects a person's immune system. It is caused by a virus called HIV. When someone has AIDS, their body can't fight off infections and diseases like it normally would. This can make them very sick and even lead to death. It's important to protect yourself from HIV by practicing safe sex and not sharing needles with others.
A more thorough explanation:
AIDS is a medical condition caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). It weakens the immune system, making it difficult for the body to fight off infections and diseases.
Example: A person with AIDS may develop infections that a healthy person would not, such as pneumonia or tuberculosis.
AIDS is a serious and life-threatening condition that requires medical treatment. There is currently no cure for AIDS, but antiretroviral therapy can help manage the virus and improve quality of life.
