Aids is an illness caused by the infection of virus HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) that attacks the immune system, which becomes weaker, making it harder for the body to fight off infections and increasing the risk to some kinds of cancers as the virus kills the cells. Without treatment the infection can eventually progress to AIDS, sometimes taking many years.
