What are STI’s
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are spread predominantly by
unprotected sexual contact. Some STIs can also be transmitted during
pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding and through infected blood or
blood products. STIs have a profound impact on health
What is HIV
HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a virus that attacks the body's
immune system. If HIV is not treated, it can lead to AIDS (acquired
immunodeficiency syndrome).
How can you catch it?
Most people who get HIV get it through anal or vaginal sex, or sharing
needles, syringes, or other drug injection equipment
Symptom of HIV
There are several symptoms of HIV. Not everyone will have the
same symptoms. It depends on the person and what stage of the
disease they are in.
Fever
Chills
Rash
Night sweats
Muscle aches
Sore throat
Fatigue
Swollen lymph nodes
Mouth ulcers
What is the Cure for HIV??
There is no cure for HIV, but you can control it with HIV treatment.
Most people can get the virus under control within six months. HIV
treatment does not prevent transmission of other sexually transmitted
diseases.
Conclusion
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) attacks the immune
system, resulting in a progressive immunodeficiency that
predisposes the infected person to opportunistic infections and
cancers. This immunodeficiency is eventually fatal in nearly all
cases in the absence of potent antiretroviral treatment.
