AIDS, or Autoimmune Deficiency Syndrome, is a medical condition characterized by the severe impairment of the immune system, which increases vulnerability to opportunistic infections and certain cancers. It results from the progressive destruction of immune cells, primarily due to the long-term effects of infections or other underlying health issues.
