HIV & AIDS
HIV AND AIDS
AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is caused by a virus call HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). The Virus attacks the body’s immune system, and as a result, the person with AIDS can’t fight off other diseases. There are three major modes of transmission that can result in the spread of HIV:
- Unprotected sex with an infected person.
- Sharing IV drug needles and works.
- Prenatal Transmission
Healthy Living with HIV
Knowing your HIV status and accessing medical care or supportive services are the keys to living a normal life. Being in medical care helps you live a healthier life and makes it far less likely that you will transmit HIV to others.
