HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) attacks the body’s immune system, especially the CD4 (T) cells that help fight infections.
Without treatment, it can progress to AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) — the most severe stage, where the body becomes vulnerable to infections and diseases.
💉 How It Spreads:
1)Unprotected sex with an infected person
2)Sharing needles or blades
3)Transfusion with infected blood
4)From mother to child during birth or breastfeeding
🤝 It does NOT spread through: hugs, sharing food, or mosquito bites.
🩺 Symptoms:
Fever, sore throat, night sweats, weight loss, fatigue, and recurring infections.
💊 Treatment:
There’s no cure yet, but Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) helps people with HIV live long, healthy lives and reduces transmission risk.
🛡️ Prevention Tips:
1)Use condoms
2)Don’t share needles
3)Get tested regularly
4)Pregnant women should follow prevention programs
✨ Remember:
HIV is not a death sentence. Early testing, treatment, and awareness save lives. Let’s fight the stigma, not the people. ❤️
