The acronym "VIH" stands for Virus de Inmunodeficiencia Humana, which translates to Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) in English.
- It is the virus that causes AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome).
- HIV attacks the immune system, specifically the CD4 cells (T cells), making the body more vulnerable to infections and certain cancers.
- It is transmitted through certain body fluids, such as blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and breast milk.
- There is currently no cure, but treatments (antiretroviral therapy) can control the virus and help people live longer, healthier lives.
