What is HIV and how it progresses to AIDS?

HIV is a virus that causes damage to the immune system by destroying the white blood cells in the body. First identified in the year 1981, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) interferes with the body’s ability to fight against disease-causing microorganisms. It destroys CD4 cells (a type of T-helper cells that move around the body & detect anomalies & infections), makes copies of itself and weakens an individual’s immune system.

When CD4 counts drop below 200 it is an indication of serious immune damage and a person is diagnosed with AIDS. The normal range for CD4 cells is about 500-1500.

Breast cancer is the tumorous growth of breast cells. It usually starts in the inner lining of milk ducts (Ductal Carcinoma) or in the lobules that supply them with milk (Lobular Carcinoma).

They may also spread to the lymph nodes and other parts of the body.
