My Message to AIDSAware

Aids... Beware of Aids. What is Aids actually?

Aids stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. This is a broad description of a variety of symptoms displayed by someone who has been infected by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). It usually takes about a decade for someone who is "HIV positive" to develop full-blown Aids. Once they are infected, they are infected for life.

So, how is it being transmitted?

The virus is passed through blood, semen, vaginal fluids and breast milk. Unprotected intercourse with an infected person is the most common method of transmission. It can also be spread by contact with infected blood. HIV can cross from mother to child during pregnancy, childbirth or breastfeeding. Another common route is the sharing of needles. A person cannot catch HIV from toilet seats, or by touching, hugging or shaking hands with an affected person.

Right now, how are we going to prevent it?

Using a clean needle for the injection of drugs and using condoms in intercourse. Resistance, or ignorance, with regard to the second has been the most significant contributor to the rapid spread of HIV around the world. It has come in for a good deal of criticism for its opposition to the use of condoms on religious grounds.
