Hiv
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that attacks the body's immune system, making it more difficult for the body to fight off infections and diseases. HIV is the virus that causes AIDS (Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome). To date, there is no cure for HIV, but treatments are available to help people with HIV manage their condition and live longer and healthier lives. HIV is spread through contact with infected bodily fluids, such as blood, semen, and breast milk. HIV prevention efforts have focused on education, risk reduction, and testing. The main goals are to reduce the transmission of HIV, support people living with HIV, and ensure access to early diagnosis and treatment. Prevention methods include the use of condoms and clean needles, as well as interventions aimed at reducing risky behaviors, such as substance abuse or unprotected sex.
