Human immunodeficiency virus antibody

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), as its name suggests, can cause defects in the human immune system. In 1981, the human immunodeficiency virus was first discovered in the United States. It is a lentivirus that infects cells of the human immune system, a type of retrovirus. There are no effective treatments for fatal infectious diseases. The virus destroys the body's immune system, causing the immune system to lose its resistance, which causes various diseases and cancers to survive in the human body, and eventually to AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome).
