Pathology, immunopathology, and AIDS were discussed in the document. Pathology is the study of disease processes and causes. Immunopathology examines immune responses associated with disease. AIDS is caused by HIV infection and results in immunosuppression. The stages of HIV infection progress from acute latency to clinical latency to AIDS. HIV is treated through antiretroviral therapy but currently there is no cure. Prognosis depends on treatment and can range from months to decades depending on the stage of infection.
