The virus is spread through the exchange of body fluids (primarily semen, blood, and blood products) and can persist in the body for a decade or more without any apparent symptoms. The disease weakens the body's immune system, allowing other diseases, including Kaposi's sarcoma (otherwise a relatively uncommon form of cancer), Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, pulmonary tuberculosis, invasive cervical cancer, and encephalitis, to overwhelm the individual. Some success in combating the disease has followed treatment with a combination of drugs (e.g., reverse transcriptase inhibitors, such as AZT (zidovudine), and protease inhibitors, such as saquinovir) that attack the quickly mutating virus in different ways.
