Is sarcoma carpossi the same as AIDS?


Is sarcoma carpossi the same as AIDS?

No. AIDS is acquired immune deficiency syndrome, where a person's immune system slowly deteriorates,

Carpossi's sarcoma is a rare cancer which mainly affects AIDS patients because their immune system isn't strong enough to prevent it.

Karposi's Sarcoma is a cancer that is related to AIDS, as I understand it.

KS is an opportunistic infection that is more common in HIV + patients. It resembles painless bruising that can occur anywhere, including in the mouth. This is rare, but is more common in older men of Mediterrian descent.

Karposi's Sarcoma is a cancer. It occurs in people with very damaged immune systems - ie people who have AIDS or perhaps people in strong immunosuppressant medications after having an organ transplant.
