What Is Blue Waffle?
7. HIV
HIV, or human immunodeficiency virus, is perhaps the most dangerous of all sexually transmitted diseases. Once infected, the patient can go on to develop AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). The disease goes on to suppress the patient’s immune system, making it harder for them to defend themselves against disease.
There is no cure for HIV/AIDS yet, but treatment for the condition is increasingly effective. When the disease first arrived, people with it could expect to live for another 20 years or so. With advancements in medicine, even people that are diagnosed at 20 years old can go on to live to 70 years old.
