What is HIV ?
HIV is Human Immunodeficiency Virus
the virus that causes the Acquired
Immune Deficiency Syndrome or AIDS.
Scientists have known about this
virus for several years but it has been
called by other names which has led to
confusion. Most scientists throughout
the world have now agreed the name HIV.
Viruses are very small and cannot
be seen. Ordinary microscopes cannot
detect them but they can be seen in
specimens examined with a powerful
electron microscope.
Unlike bacteria, viruses are not
destroyed by antibiotics.
