Good morning, today I would like to bring about a brief elucidation about a deadly

virus called HIV. The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a virus that targets the
immune system of the human body. In the absence of treatment, HIV has the potential
to progress to AIDS, which stands for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. At
present, there exists no effective cure. Upon contracting HIV, individuals become
infected with the virus for the duration of their lives. However, through appropriate
medical treatment, HIV can be effectively managed. Individuals diagnosed with HIV
who receive efficacious HIV treatment can attain prolonged, robust longevity and
protect their partners.
The spread of HIV from person to person is called HIV transmission, which include 3
major ways: Blood, Sex and Pregnancy.
The symptoms of HIV are often vague. Most individuals experience symptoms
resembling those of influenza within a timeframe of 14 to 28 days following infection.
The duration of symptoms may range from a few days to multiple weeks. Merely
showing these symptoms does not necessarily indicate the presence of Human
Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). There exist other medical conditions that may present
comparable symptoms. Beside, certain individuals exhibit no apparent symptoms. The
sole means of determining one's HIV status is through undergoing testing.
So, how can we lower our chances of contracting HIV? To reduce your HIV risk, wear
condoms every time you have sex, limit your sexual partners, and never share
injectable medication equipment. Consult your doctor about PrEP. PrEP protects
against HIV in high-risk persons. PrEP necessitates regular HIV medication. HIV
drugs given to pregnant mothers and their babies reduce the risk of HIV transmission.
HIV-positive pregnant mothers should consult their doctors about their feeding
options. With consistent HIV medication and an undetectable viral load during
pregnancy and breastfeeding, the risk of HIV transmission to a breastfed newborn is
less than 1%.
