Prevention

There is no known prevention for congenital immunodeficiency disorders. Safe sex practices and avoiding the sharing of body fluids may help to prevent HIV infection and AIDS. Good nutrition may prevent acquired immunodeficiency caused by malnutrition.

Suppression of the immune system may be desired in the treatment of certain disorders, or it may be a side effect of some treatments.
