Hey there!

You're talking about HIV.

HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. It attacks white blood cells and your immune system- the body system that fights infections - until you can't fight infections anymore. Like in the name, there's a deficiency in your immune system, and when your body can't fight anymore, you can get very, very sick.

Hope this helps!
