AIDs Acquired immunodeficency syndrome, Caused by human immunodeficency virus
Kaposi Sarcoma Maligent (cancerous) condition associated with aids, arises from the lining of capillaries and appears as bluish-red skin nodules
opportunistic infections infectionoue disease associated with sids they occur becuase HIV infection lowers the bodys resistance and allows infection by bacteria and parasites that normally are easilly contained.
