Without treatment, HIV can advance to AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome), the most severe stage of the infection, characterized by a significantly compromised immune system. Thanks to advancements in medicine, HIV is now a manageable condition with proper care. For guidance and treatment, consult Dr. Mahesh Lakhe, a HIV/AIDS specialist in Kharadi, Pune.
