Why does aids have a near 100% fatality rate until drugs that slow it down came out?
I know that the disease starts as HIV and then progresses into AIDS which then leads to death. I know the reason the body can’t fight it off is because it immediately targets your immune system when it gets into your body. Knowing that I never really asked why HIV/AIDS is so lethal because it was obvious. But then I learned that Ebola also immediately targets your immune system when it enters your body. So that led me to ask why HIV/AIDS is so lethal when it’s far from the only disease that attacks your immune system.
