By DR. AMELIA LIAM

Two of the most dangerous illnesses you can have are HIV and AIDS. The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is to blame for both of themThe human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is to blame for both of them. AIDS may result from HIV's immune system attack. When a person has AIDS, their immune system is unable to protect them from infections. AIDS and HIV have no known treatments. However, there are treatments that can make people's lives healthier and longer. Antiretroviral therapy (ART), which helps to lower the amount of HIV in the body and stop it from turning into AIDS, and therapy for HIV-related malignancies are two choices for treatment. It's crucial to continue therapy if you have HIV and to receive regular tests. If you have been exposed to HIV, you must take action to stop the virus from infecting others.
Describe HIV.
AIDS can result from the immune system being attacked by the HIV virus. The most prevalent HIV-causing virus, which causes AIDS, can be transmitted by coming into contact with blood, semen, or vaginal fluids. HIV symptoms can range from minor to severe flu-like symptoms, decreased appetite, weight loss, and night sweats, and they might take months or years to manifest. HIV can weaken the immune system and cause AIDS if untreated. HIV cannot be cured, but there are medications that can help individuals manage the virus and live longer. There is no vaccine to prevent HIV, but PrEP, a preventative vaccination, has been licensed to stop HIV infection in those with a high risk of contracting the disease. PrEP is a daily tablet that helps people who are at high risk for HIV infection lower their risk of contracting the virus by up to 99%.
