HIV stands for which of the following?

Explanation:
HIV names the organism and what it attacks: a virus that targets the human immune system. The letters break down as Human Immunodeficiency Virus—the H is Human, the I stands for Immunodeficiency (a weakened immune system), and the V is Virus. It isn’t related to the liver (hepatic) or to being genetic (hereditary), and the established term uses Immunodeficiency rather than Immune Deficiency. This combination clearly describes a virus that weakens the body’s immune defenses in humans.
