Answer 2

It is important for people with HIV/AIDS to keep their hands free from germs as much as possible because C. AIDS compromises the body's immune system.

HIV/AIDS stands for Human Immunodeficiency virus infection and acquired immune deficiency syndrome.

The term immune deficiency signifies that the immune system of the individual is compromised and does not work properly. Therefore, any contact with germs and other diseases will likely infect the individual.
A person suffering from HIV/AIDS will develop sickness quicker than the average person and will find it more difficult to recover from any form of sickness.
