Let's talk AIDS!



AIDS is acquired immune deficiency syndrome and HIV is Human Immumodeficiency Virus. AIDS is the last stage of the HIV disease. There are only a few ways of getting infected - exchange of blood, semen, or vaginal secretions. The most likely ways are having unprotected sexual intercourse, sharing needles and other drug equipment. HIV can also be passed to an infant through breast milk. You can't identify a HIV person by looking at his or her face. Most often people with HIV don't know they have it as it can take more than 10 years for symptoms to develop. And finally, at present there is no cure for AIDS.

EQUIP YOURSELF WITH LIFE SKILLS AND RIGHT INFORMATION SO THAT YOU CAN PROTECT YOUSELF.

  4. 1. HIV is not a disease!

    2. The last stage of HIV is not AIDS. HIV resides in every person as HIV-. It is called AIDS only when a person is detected of being HIV+.

    Just so that you are putting up the right information :)
