Answer:

HIV/AIDS

Explanation:

HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus, and after a while a person infected with HIV will get AIDS which stands for Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome.

HIV is transmitted through blood/blood contact or through other bodily fluids. It is mostly transmitted through unprotected sex, in which bodily fluids are exchanged. Within a few weeks after infection, flu-like symptoms will appear. The infected person will experience pain in the abdomen area mostly.

After a while, HIV will become AIDS. This happens when the infected person no longer has an immune system to defend against other illnesses. When a person is infected with AIDS, they are more susceptible to many other infections. A simple cold can turn into pneumonia, because the body has no immune system to protect itself.
