HIV is a virus that destroys your white blood cells. Without your white blood cells, you cannot fight infectious diseases. Once HIV has destroyed a lot of your blood cells, you are diagnosed with aids(aquired immune defiency syndrome) It means that you no longer have enough white blood cells that your body needs to fight off diseases. Once HIV leads up to AIDS, it takes way longer for the person with aids to fight off diseases. This is why people who have AIDS often die of infections such as pneumonia(the body cannot fight the invaders due to lack of white blood cells)
