	HIV, AIDS and the Immune System
		There is a focused loss over time of immune cell function which allows intrusion by several different infectious agents, the result of which is loss of the ability of the body to fight infection and the subsequent acquisition of diseases such as pneumonia.
		The effect of HIV on the immune system is the result of a gradual (usually) elimination of the Th1 and Th2 helper T-cell sub-populations.
		Under normal circumstances, the design of the immune system's various tissues and connections, allows the agent to be focused within a regional lymph node, which greatly improves the probability of an effective defensive response.

	What is AIDS or HIV and how do I get it (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		AIDS--acquired immune deficiency syndrome--was first reported in the United States in 1981 and has since become a major worldwide epidemic.
		Although children with AIDS are susceptible to the same opportunistic infections as adults with the disease, they also experience severe forms of the bacterial infections to which children are especially prone, such as conjunctivitis (pink eye), ear infections and tonsillitis.
		Scientists are trying to determine what factors may account for their lack of progression to AIDS, such as particular characteristics of their immune systems or whether they were infected with a less aggressive strain of the virus or if their genetic make-up may protect them from the effects of HIV.

	Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) / Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
		Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is the virus that is responsible for causing acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS).
		The virus destroys or impairs cells of the immune system and progressively destroys the body's ability to fight infections and certain cancers.
		However, due to the screening of blood for evidence of HIV infection, the risk of acquiring HIV from blood transfusions is extremely low.

	Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome / AIDS(aids->hiv)
		Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is an incurable condition that weakens the bodyÂ’s ability to fight disease.
		Opportunistic infections are diseases that do not affect people with normal immune systems, but they take the opportunity to flourish in people with damaged immune systems.
		When immune system damage is severe, opportunistic infections can take hold, resulting in Â“full-blown AIDS.Â” This process typically takes from 7 to 10 years after being infected with HIV.

	ACQUIRED IMMUNE DEFICIENCY SYNDROME (AIDS) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		AIDS is a specific group of diseases or conditions that result from suppression of the immune system related to infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
		With the loss of immune function, a clinical syndrome (a group of various illnesses that together characterize a disease) develops over time and eventually results in death due to opportunistic infections (infections by organisms that do not normally cause disease except in persons whose immune system has been greatly weakened) or cancers.
		During this phase, known as the acute retroviral syndrome phase, HIV reproduces to very high concentrations in the blood, mutates (changes its genetic nature) frequently, circulates through the blood, and establishes infections throughout the body, especially in the lymphoid organs.

	Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		It is an acquired infection as opposed to a genetic immune deficiency or autoimmune.
		Once the virus is transmitted, it attacks the body’s immune system, which depends on the white blood cells.
		Once the immune system is weakened, the body becomes susceptible to various opportunistic infections, especially of the pulmonary and digestive systems, as well as neuralgic lesions and some malignancies.

	Small intestinal lymphoma in three patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome.
		Small intestinal lymphoma in three patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome.
		All three had acquired immune deficiency syndrome as demonstrated by demography, sexual history, cachexia, opportunistic infections by Cytomegalovirus, Pneumocystis carinii, atypical Mycobacterium, Candida, and/or evidence of immune deficiency, such as skin test anergy, lymphopenia, inversion of T-helper/T-suppressor ratio, and diminished lymphocyte response to either phytohemmaglutinin or pokeweed mitogen.
		Thus gastrointestinal complaints may not always be related to gay bowel syndrome, or other infectious diseases in patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome.

	Acquired Violence Immune Deficiency Syndrome - Dave Grossman, Author
		The "violence immune system" exists in the midbrain, and conditioning in the media creates an "acquired deficiency" in this immune system, resulting in "Acquired Violence Immune Deficiency Syndrome" or AVIDS.
		As a result of this weakened immune system, the victim becomes more vulnerable to violence-enabling factors such as poverty, discrimination, drugs, gangs, radical politics, and the availability of guns.
