Text: HIV/AIDS
Millions of people around the world die from AIDS every year. No matter
where we come from, or where we go, HIV/AIDS can be around the
corner. It is up to us to protect ourselves from this disease.
Many people confuse HIV with AIDS. They think they mean the same
thing. However, they are not the same. HIV is a virus that causes AIDS.
AIDS is the final stage of an HIV infection. HIV stands for Human
Immunodeficiency Virus. When the HIV virus enters the body, the person
starts losing the ability to fight off infections because the virus attacks the
immune system of the person. As the virus grows inside the body, it makes
the immune system weaker.
AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. AIDS happens
when a person with HIV gets very sick. He/she gets many different
illnesses at the same time. They are difficult to treat. Once people have
HIV/AIDS, they will have it for the rest of their lives because there is no
cure against it.
The HIV virus lives in body fluids such as blood, semen, vaginal and anal
fluids, and breast milk. These liquids can carry the HIV virus from one
person to another. How could this happen?
Here are the ways you get HIV: Having unprotected vaginal, oral, or anal
sex with a person who has HIV (unprotected = without using a condom);
using a needle infected with HIV to inject drugs, vitamins, or to get a
tattoo; passing the virus through breast milk, from mother to the baby. The
HIV virus cannot be passed from one person to another if a person with the

Page 1|3
 virus coughs or sneezes near you; hugs you or holds your hand; shares the
same toilet with you.
The best way to protect yourself is by practicing safe sex. Here are some
ideas: Have sex with only one person. Make sure that person has sex with
you only; limit your sex partner and use condoms every time you have sex.
If you are too young, you should observe total abstinence from sex. It’s
also recommended to avoid alcohol and drug abuse.
