 CAUSES OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES
 BACTERIA
 VIRUSES
 FUNGI
 WHAT IS BACTERIA?
 Single-celled microorganisms that can live almost
everywhere.
 Lives in air, soil, food and the human body.
 Damage healthy cells
 WHAT IS VIRUSES?
 It is the simplest type of parasites.
 100 times smaller than bacteria.
 Cannot multiply unless they enter living cells.
 Damages and kills the cells
 WHAT IS A FUNGI?
 Small organisms that grow either as parasites in
living organisms or in the remains of dead
organisms.
 Grow best in dark, warm, and moist area.
 HUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS
 HIV is a virus that attacks the immune system. If
untreated, a person’s immune system will
eventually be completely destroyed.
 As HIV destroys more CD4 cells and makes more
copies of itself, it gradually breaks down a
person’s immune system. This means someone
living with HIV, who is not receiving treatment,
will find it harder and harder to fight off infections
and diseases.
 If HIV is left untreated, it may take up to 10 or 15
years for the immune system to be so severely
damaged it can no longer defend itself at all.
However, the speed HIV progresses will vary
depending on age, health and background.  
 SYMPTOMS OF HIV
 Swollen lymph nodes
 Unexplained weight loss lasts for at least 1 month.
 Persistent fever
 Diarrhea for several weeks
 Vaginal infections
 Very weak
 Myalgia (Muscle Pain)
 Mouth and esophageal sores
 Pharyngitis
 ACQUIRED IMMUNE DEFICIENCY SYNDROME

 AIDS refers to a set of symptoms and illnesses

that occur at the very final stage of HIV infection.
 LAWS AND POLICIES OF THE PHILIPPINES TO PREVENT AND
CONTROL HIV OR AIDS

 Republic Act 8504 : The Philippine AIDS
