'''Category:AIDS''' — AIDS is the common {{tag|acronym}} for the {{tag|medical}} term '''acquired immune deficiency syndrome''', which is a follow-on {{tag|Diseases|disease}} of the {{tag|human immunodeficiency virus}} or HIV.  AIDS will develop as a late-stage {{tag|health}} prognosis of a carrier of HIV (often coined 'HIV-positive'), especially if the HIV carrier does not have access to the required anti-retro-viral drugs.  Once diagnosed with AIDS, it is usually fatal to life; with {{tag|People|sufferers}} usually dying within a decade of developing AIDS.

If HIV is detected at an early stage, <u>and</u> the required anti-retro-viral [[:Category:Medicine|drugs]] are also administered at an early stage, the HIV carrier will often lead a perfectly normal {{tag|life}}, and should not develop any of the symptoms of AIDS.  Indeed, the latest generation anti-retro-virals suppress the human immunodeficiency virus to a point where it becomes undetectable ('HIV-negative'), and therefore, the carrier is no longer able to pass on the virus to another via the traditionally established methods.
