HIV

Human Immunodeficiency Virus: is a lentivirus (slowly replicating retrovirus) that causes the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), a condition in humans in which progressive failure of the immune system allows life-threatening opportunistic infections and cancers to thrive.

Within these bodily fluids, HIV is present as both free virus particles and virus within infected immune cells.
