Knowing more about HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)
HIV is a virus that breaks down immune cells in the body, thereby weakening it significantly. An individual with HIV is then susceptible to a range of infections and diseases, which can further impact their immune system. The best approach is to get tested immediately and start with medication right away.
In the later stages of HIV, the person may develop AIDS which is acquired immune deficiency syndrome. In this stage the person’s immune system is significantly compromised. While there is no known cure for AIDS, strict adherence to ARVs (antiretroviral regimens can dramatically slow the progression of the disease.

- Chlamydia
- Genital herpes
- Genital warts or human papillomavirus (HPV). Certain high-risk types of HPV can cause cervical cancer in women

HIV infections are caused by the human immunodeficiency virus. You can get HIV from contact with infected blood, semen, or vaginal fluids.
- Most people get the virus by having unprotected sex with someone living with HIV.
- Another common way of getting it is by sharing drug needles with someone who is infected with HIV.
- The virus can also be passed from a mother to her baby during pregnancy, birth, or breastfeeding
HIV doesn’t survive well outside the body. So it can’t be spread by casual contact
like kissing or sharing drinking glasses with an infected person.
