HIV and AIDS
What is HIV?
HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus, a virus that damages the body’s defence or immune system making it easier to get infections or cancers. If you don’t get treatment for HIV, it can turn into AIDS or Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome.
How do you get it?
HIV is spread through contact with the blood, body fluids or breast milk of a person who already has it. It can be caught by:
- Having unprotected sex (not using a condom) whether vaginal, anal or oral sex with someone who has HIV.
- Sharing needles or syringes with an infected person
- HIV can be passed from mother to baby during pregnancy, birth or breast-feeding
You cannot get HIV from contact such as hugging, kissing or from sharing food or drink with someone who has HIV.
What are the symptoms?
HIV symptoms can include:
- Flu or flu type symptoms like fever, sore throat, headache, aching muscles and swollen glands
- Frequent attacks of thrush and other infections
Sometimes there may not be any symptoms.
How do you treat it?
Having HIV doesn’t mean you have AIDS. AIDS occurs when a person’s immune system has been severely weakened by HIV. Even without treatment it takes a long time for HIV to turn into AIDS, usually 10 to 12 years.
