FACT 1: WHAT IS HIV and HOW IT WORKS

FACT 1: HIV is a lot like other viruses, including those that cause the "flu" or the common cold. But there is an important difference – over time, your immune system can clear most viruses out of your body. That isn't the case with HIV – the human immune system can't seem to get rid of it. That means that once you have HIV, you have it for life. Over time, HIV can destroy so many of your CD4 cells that your body can't fight infections and diseases anymore. When that happens, HIV infection can lead to AIDS, the final stage of HIV infection. However, not everyone who has HIV progresses to AIDS. With proper treatment, called “antiretroviral therapy” (ART), you can keep the level of HIV virus in your body low. ART is the use of HIV medicines to fight HIV infection. It involves taking a combination of HIV medicines every day. These HIV medicines can control the virus so that you can live a longer, healthier life and reduce the risk of transmitting HIV to others.There are 35 million people worldwide living with HIV/AIDS. 1 out of 6 people you may know are living with HIV/AIDS, 1 out of 4 new HIV infections are between the ages of 13-24, 1 out of 7 don't even know that they are infected. So do me a favor get the fact, get tested, and get involved. If not today, do it tomorrow. but in the word of "RENT" ‪#‎NODAYBUTTODAY‬ ‪#‎AIDSAWARENESSDAY‬ ‪#‎HIVADISAWARENESSMONTH‬.
