HIV, short for Human Immunodeficiency Virus, is the virus which causes AIDS, short for Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. Now let's share facts you probably don't know about HIV and AIDS. Many people don't know that HIV is actually different from AIDS. However, the two terms have become popular among people of all ages. Below are facts you need to know about HIV and AIDS. HIV is a virus which can be transmitted through contact with the blood or fluid of an infected person and the most common means of transmission is through unprotected sexual intercourse with the infected person. The virus fights the immune system which is our body's natural defence against diseases or infections. The virus can be found in semen, vagina and anal fluid, breast milk and in blood.
