Dec. 1 - World AIDS Day: What Was Your Experience When You Did HIV Test? by eksammy(m): 9:46pm On Nov 30, 2013 |
December 1 is World Aid’s Day. It is an opportunity to disseminate information about the status of the pandemic and to encourage progress in HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment and care around the world, particularly in high prevalence countries. Facts about HIV/AIDS HIV stands for the Human Immunodeficiency Virus. It is a virus which attacks the body's immune system — the body's defence against diseases. HIV can be passed on through infected bodily fluids, most commonly via sex without a condom or by sharing infected needles, syringes or other injecting drug equipment. There are about 3.5 million people living with HIV in Nigeria and 40% of those people are unaware they have the virus. Globally an estimated 34 million people have HIV. More than 25 million people between 1981 and 2007 have died from the virus, making it one of the most destructive pandemics in history. 2.1 million adolescents were living with HIV in 2012 Nigeria bears the second largest burden of HIV in the world after South Africa. Do you know your HIV status The last time I did the test, i almost died of fear before the result came out. There was nothing i did not think! But its not as bad as it sounds....How i wish people Living with HIV/AIDs will share positive stories to help others here. |
