 This virus can only infect
human beings

The effect of the virus is to

create a deficiency (a failure
to work properly) within the
body’s immune system

This organism is a retro virus,

which means it can reproduce
itself by taking over the
machinery of the human cell

Family Planning & Birth Control
Family planning is having the number of
children you want, when you want them.
Different parents have different reasons for
wanting to limit the size of their family. Some
parents may decide to delay having any
children until they have worked and saved
enough so that they can afford to care for
them well.
Family Planning & Birth Control
Some parents may decide that a small
number of children is enough, but others
may want more. Others may want to space
their children, so their mother will be
healthier. There are several methods to
prevent women from becoming pregnant for
as long as she wishes. These are methods
of birth control or contraceptive.
