Answer 2

HIV

Step-by-step explanation:

The virus that causes AIDS is called the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). This virus only infects humans, and over time, it can lead to the progressive failure of the immune system, allowing for infections and cancers to thrive (a condition known as AIDS). HIV is usually transmitted in a sexual way, and without treatment, the survival after infection is usually of 9 to 11 years.
