HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. A virus is a microorganism that can only be seen under an electron microscope.
When a person is infected with HIV, it gradually attacks the defense system of the human body. Therefore, a person infected with the virus gradually loses its strength and can not fight off other infections.
AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. Although it may take many years, virtually all people infected with HIV develop AIDS. A syndrome is a collection of symptoms that when taken together are known as disease. AIDS eventually leads to death.

How Bad Breath Happens
When halitosis originates in the oral cavity can be several causes: the presence of caries, periodontal disease, bleeding or inadequate positioning of the teeth to proper oral hygiene prevents food residue left in the mouth.
Another cause of bad breath what is the decrease in saliva in the mouth is known as dry mouth.
This may be due to factors such as age, stress or snoring during sleep.
An interesting fact is that some low-carb diets cause a condition called “the smell of hunger”, which is the result of ketosis or incomplete use of body fat.
As the doctor Pizarro, sometimes bad breath can become a chronic problem, and the sooner the patient is evaluated, the better.
What caused the smell?
As noted above, bacteria are the most common cause of bad breath, they form what is known as plaque.
Bacteria reproduce at a tremendous speed, and if they find ideal habitat in our mouths are added scraps here and there, bacterial reproduction is much greater.
What promotes bad breath?
In addition to the dangerous acids that lead to cavities, bacteria release volatile sulfur compounds that give off an odor. Is a characteristic of these microorganisms is reversed only when we eliminate from our mouths. Precisely for this purpose have been created countless tricks. Some, like chewing gum or mints are limited to only mask the odor. Others, however, as antibacterial mouthwashes, toothpaste, tongue cleaner or eliminate these germs, but their action is only temporary, says Dr. Pizarro.
