The answer is: HIV.

HIV stands for “human immunodeficiency viruses” which a human being most often acquires through unprotected intercourse. After being infected with this virus one can develop AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) which is a condition marked by failure of the immune system which allows for infections and cancers to thrive making this virus extremely dangerous and lethal, especially if not treated.
