Description:
HIV is human immunodeficiency virus infection. A person who has HIV means they have a detectable level of the virus on a blood test, or a positive blood test for antibodies (infection-fighting proteins) against the virus. If you are infected with HIV it is possible, but not certain, that you will eventually develop AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome). As a nurse it is vital that you know about this disease and how to properly avoid compromising situations with blood.
