HIV/AIDS is generally described as terminal in nature because it is incurable. This means that there is no known cure for the virus and once someone is infected with HIV, the virus stays in their body for life. While antiretroviral therapy (ART) can help people living with HIV to manage the virus and live longer, healthier lives, it is not a cure. If left untreated, HIV can eventually lead to AIDS, which weakens the immune system and can lead to life-threatening infections and cancers.
