SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES

Human Immunodeficiency Virus
HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a virus that attacks the body’s immune system. If HIV is not

But with proper medical care, HIV can be controlled. People with HIV who get effective HIV
treatment can live long, healthy lives and protect their partners.
HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. HIV and
AIDS are not the same thing. People with HIV do not always have AIDS.
HIV is carried in semen (cum), vaginal fluids, blood, and breast milk. The virus gets in the body
through cuts or sores in the skin, and through mucous membranes (like the inside of the vagina,
rectum, and opening of the penis).

HIV can also be passed to babies during pregnancy, birth, or breastfeeding. A pregnant woman
with HIV can take medicine to greatly reduce the chance that her baby will get HIV.

HIV isn't spread through saliva (spit), so a person CAN'T get HIV from kissing, sharing food or
drinks, or using the same fork or spoon. HIV is also not spread through hugging, holding hands,
coughing, or sneezing. And one can't get HIV from a toilet seat.

gender and sexuality, and they have the right to make their own choices regarding
their gender and sexuality.
