Hiv disease resulting in wasting syndrome - what does this mean

Hiv disease resulting in wasting syndrome occurs when hiv infection progresses to the point where the body's immune system is severely weakened and unable to fight off infections. this can lead to severe weight loss, muscle wasting, and other symptoms of wasting syndrome.

What happens during the disease - hiv disease resulting in wasting syndrome

The human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) attacks and destroys the body's immune system, resulting in a weakened immune system and an increased susceptibility to infections and other diseases. as the virus continues to replicate and spread, it can cause a variety of symptoms, including wasting syndrome, which is characterized by a significant and ongoing loss of body weight, muscle mass, and fat. this loss of body mass is caused by hiv's ability to interfere with the body's ability to absorb and use nutrients, as well as the body's inability to fight off infections that can lead to malnutrition.
