उत्तर
The word AIDS stands for Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome. This means a deficiency of the immune system, acquired during the lifetime of an individual indicating that it is not a congenital disease. ‘Syndrome’ means a group of symptoms. The patient becomes so immuno-deficient that he/she is unable to protect himself/herself against these infections. Because of this, even a tiny cold can culminate in pneumonia, a minor infection can cause serious diarrhoea and blood loss, and mild skin rashes can turn into ulcers.
