The correct answer is: AIDS
Among all infectious diseases, HIV infection or AIDS is the most dangerous and fatal disease. There is no treatment or cure for this disease, and prevention is the best option. HIV enters into helper T-lymphocytes (TH), replicates and produces progeny viruses. The progeny viruses released in the blood attack other helper T-lymphocytes. This is repeated, leading to a progressive decrease in the number of helper T-lymphocytes
in the body of the infected person.
