HIV
Human Immunodeficiency
Syndrome
A specific type of virus (a
retrovirus)
HIV invades the helper T cells to
replicate itself.
No Cure
AIDS
Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome
HIV is the virus that causes AIDS
Disease limits the bodys ability to
fight infection
A person with AIDS has a very weak
immune system
No Cure
T-Cell Count
If 1,200 or higher, the individual has a
normal immune system.
If 800 or less, the immune system is
weakened and individual is susceptible to
infection.
If 200 or less, AIDS is diagnosed.
Once a person is diagnosed with AIDS, she
or he is always categorized as having AIDS,
even if her or his T-cell count increases.

Testing
The test is for antibodies against HIV, not for the
virus itself.
It can take up to three months for the body to
produce antibodies against HIV.
A negative test result may mean recent infection.
It is possible to infect others during this
stage.
An individual should be tested three months after
possible exposure to guarantee an accurate result.
