HIV/AIDS poses one of the biggest viral threats today. It is a dangerous disease that affects people regardless of race, gender, economic status, or age. HIV weakens the immune system, making the body unable to fight illness and bacteria. It can be transmitted sexually, through shared needles, or contact with infected fluids. While there is no cure, medications can help manage the virus and allow patients to live healthy lives. However, not all those infected have access to treatment. Greater awareness and education are needed to curb the spread of HIV/AIDS.

REPORT WRITING - HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) / Acquired Immune
Deficiency Syndrome AIDS
The HIV virus poses one of the biggest viral threats to human society today . The virus is a very dangerous disease that sees no race, no color, no gender, no economic background and not even a specific age group. AIDS stands for what is called Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. The virus causes the body's immune system to break down and become useless in fighting illness and bacteria. There are many ways for a person to acquire AIDS in their body. According to my research, HIV and Aids can be transmitted several different ways. Some of those ways include sexual intercourse, sharing needles, or by the contact of HIV- infected bodily fluids and an open wound. It cannot permeate though intact skin, hence it cannot be spread through informal contact. A HIV infected mother can spread the virus to her baby before, during or after birth through infected breast milk. There are few suggestion to prevent ourselves from AIDS. First of all, needles and syringes can easily carry HIV from one person to another. Never use recreational drugs which use needles and never use any needles not given to you by your doctor. Next, try to use protection. Only engage in unprotected sex if you are in a mutually monogamous relationship in which both you and your partner are uninfected by HIV. This is the most important part of preventing HIV. Even after a person is infected from AIDS, there are some recommendation for them to keep their illness in control. While there is no cure for HIV, medications are prescribed to stop HIV from replicating, so patients can manage the condition and live healthy lives. Some drugs stop the virus maturing and leaving the cells. None of these drugs cures HIV infection or AIDS, although when used in combination they can delay the appearance of symptoms, perhaps indefinitely. However, not everyone in the world infected with HIV can afford, or get access to, these drugs.
As a result, the lack of knowledge in todays world is a major issue. It is causing the spread of many dangerous health problems. Yes, people hear about it but however, the spread continues. With higher knowledge of everything that goes hand and hand with it, the spread can be put to a stop. HIV/AIDS Awareness is the most effective way to end the worldwide spread of this killer disease.
