First of all, AIDS is a highly harmful infectious disease, caused by HIV infection. HIV is a virus that attacks the body's immune system. It takes the most important T lymphocytes in the human immune system as the main target of attack, and destroys a large number of these cells, making the human body lose its immune function.

Secondly, the human body is easy to be infected with various diseases, and malignant tumors can occur, with high mortality. The average incubation period of HIV in human body is 8-9 years. Before suffering from AIDS, people can live and work for many years without any symptoms.

Finally, most of the patients with AIDS are young adults. Most of the patients are 18-45 years old, that is, the age of active sex life. After HIV infection, they often suffer from some rare diseases, such as Pneumocystis pneumonia, toxoplasmosis, atypical mycobacterium and fungal infection.
