    HIV Infection, caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), is a condition where the virus attacks and weakens the body's immune system by targeting CD4 cells (a type of white blood cell). Over time, this can lead to Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), making the body more susceptible to infections and certain cancers.
