the immune system failed to work

properly.
The effect of the virus is to create a deficiency
(a failure to work properly) within the body’s
immune system.

ACQUIRED

I IMMUNE

DEFICIENCY

one person to another.

infections; individual may suffer from
two or more opportunistic infections.

 HIV TRANSMISSION
FOUR PRINCIPLES
1. Exit
where the virus leaves the body (blood, semen,
vaginal fluid, breast milk). Human body fluids,
especially blood and blood products, have high
HIV concentrations; the rate of transmission
through blood and blood products is around
90%--‐95%.
2. Sufficiency of Quantity
The amount of virus or microorganism sufficient to
cause infection.

3. Survival
The ability of the virus or microorganism to thrive
in an environment.

4. Entry
Where the virus enters the body (lining of the
vagina, rectum, opening of the urethra in males,
wounds or breaks in the skin).
TRUE or FALSE
 Body fluid where HIV is NOT
transmitted
• Tears

• Saliva
• Sweat
• Urine
• Feces
 BODY FLUIDS
where HIV can be transmitted:

1. VAGINAL SECRETIONS

2. SEMEN

3. BLOOD

4. BREASTMILK

Be mutualy faithful to your partner

eliable information on how they can prot
ect themselves from HIV.
HOW DO WE KNOW IF THE PERSON HAS HIV BY
MERELY LOOKING AT THEM?

PLHIV (persons living with HIV) seemed to be

normal and healthy, but they are infectious.
 How will I
know if I am
HIV positive?

can only be determined
